It's becoming more and more popular for holiday makers to make their own way across Europe in their car and cross oceans via ferry, enabling them to continue their journey once they have reached the other side. The most common route through Europe to Corfu is via Italy. There are four main sea ports in Italy; Bari, Brindisi, Venice and Ancona. From these ports you can either travel directly to Corfu or go to mainland Greece arriving at Igoumenitsa port. From there you can catch another ferry to bring you to the large port in Corfu Town.
