Brindisi Travel Forum

Hi there :) Could you please give me some information about the overnight ferry from Brindisi to Athens? Has anyone tried it? How much does it cost? Is it comfortable? I would appreciate any tips you can give... Also, could you please tell me how far is Rome from Brindisi?
Thanks so much!

There are two solutions:
by car, the distance between Rome and Brindisi is about of 550 km (6/7 hours);
by train about 6 hours (www.trenitalia.it is the italian railway official site).
Sorry but i don't have informations about the ferries from Brindisi to Athens.

hi,
about the ferries, i know there are ferries going from Brindisi to Igoumenitsa and to Patra. I don't know if there are any going directly to Athenes. maybe you can find more information at www.greekferries.gr

I think you can go all the way to Patras (24 hours), but not Athens. The ferries are a bit old and slightly run-down but cheap and reasonably comfy. You must book in advance during the peak season, and be prepared for tall waves (frequent in the Mediterranean, even in the summer).
Enjoy,

Oh, and you can also fly to Brindisi from Rome (Alitalia has a couple of flights a day, taking about 50 minutes).
Cheers,
