Pets on board

You can travel with your pet on ferries to Corfu from Ancona, depending on the company you’ve chosen:

• On Minoan Lines ferries, pets are allowed on the deck. A carrier or cage is required for small pets. As for larger pets, they must wear a muzzle and a leash.
• On Anek Superfast ferries, there are some kennels and a limited number of cabins available for pet carriage that you can book in advance for an extra charge. Pets are not allowed indoors or in vehicles (unless you have booked camping on board). When walking on the open decks, they must wear a muzzle and a leash and be accompanied by their owner or guardian.

Note that, in both companies, pets can travel in their own carrier or cage free of charge. However, they must be included in your booking.

Make sure to carry along the necessary certificates, tickets and any pet supplies you may need for your trip.

Here are some travel tips for your trip from Ancona to Corfu:

• We recommend arriving at the port of Ancona at least 1.5 hr before your ferry trip, especially if you are traveling with your vehicle.
• To travel from Italy to Greece, you should carry with you either a passport or your national ID card (if your country is in the Schengen Area).
• Since this ferry journey is long, we recommend traveling between Ancona and Corfu in a bed cabin. It's best to book at least 3-4 months in advance, as cabins sell out fast.
• Ferry companies often offer discounts or special offers for caravans/campers. Make sure to check them before booking your tickets! Find out more about the Italy - Greece ferry trip with your camper or caravan on Ferryhopper.
• Ferry rides from Italy to Greece can be a bit bumpy. If you feel seasick, you can always ask the ferry crew for some aspirin or carry with you anti-nausea medication.
