Bari Durres Ferry reviews

  • "No customer attitude "

    Traveling back from Durrës we had the problem of the age of our daughter: she is 12 and had to pay as adult. When you buy the ticket online and give in the correct date of birth, you should get the correct category. After all the attitude of the personal in Durres harbor is unfriendly. We felt treaded more as sheep’s than as customers. However we chose the ferry for ecological reasons, to avoid flying, which would have been faster, friendlier and less expensive!

  • "Bari to Durres"

    We travelled with a motorhome in June 2019. The trip took 11 hours. We had a room with 4 beds and a sink. No WC or shower. The WC were in a corridor outside, we didn't see any showers. In general we thought it was a good experience, no delays or bad treatment. The arrival time required (4 hours before departure) is a bit too much. Especially when the wait for embarkation is in a big parking lot with no shade.

  • "Embarkation issues"

    The staff was fabulous. The vessel was fine. The crossing was timely, pleasant and uneventful. The embarkation process in Bari was HORRIBLE!! The ticket office was far removed from the terminal with poor transportation provided. The luggage and passenger movement between the immigration hall and the ship was TERRIBLE. The passenger assistance from the dock to the reception on deck 6 was totally ABSENT. I would definitely recommend looking at this part of the process and overhauling it. I would think twice about re-booking because of it

Bari Guide

The Italian city of Bari, located in the province of Bari, lies on the Adriatic Sea coast. The town is perhaps best known for its university and sea port. There are many visitor attractions in the city including the Basilica di San Nicola which was established in the 11th century to receive the remains of Saint Nicolas which are now located beneath the church's altar in the crypt. Also worth a visit is Bari Cathedral which was constructed between 1034 and 1178 and is dedicated to Saint Sabinus of Canosa.

Bari's port is one of the most important in the region and provides a hub for sea traffic between Italy and the Middle East and Balkan regions. The port has two harbours. The Old Port is located closest to the old city and is mainly used for small boats and fishing vessels. The modern new port offers passengers destinations including Durres, Igoumenitsa, Cephalonia, Corfu, Patras, Kotor and Dubrovnik. Crossings to Corfu take 8 hours and are only available during the summer months. Services to Igoumenitsa take 9 hours and 30 minutes and also operate during the summer. The New Port is modern and offers both short-term and long-term parking options.
