Corfu “We are delighted that this ferry service, the connection line for the Ionian Sea, comes after many decades as of May 2 to the end of October and will unite the Ionian Islands,” Ionian Islands Regional Governor Theodoros Galiatsatos said in an announcement. Tourism professionals expect the new route to positively affect the tourist traffic of the Ionian Islands as visitors will be able to travel easily from one island to another. Galiatsatos added that when the seasonal line stops in October, the region will evaluate the results of the service and return next season with upgraded services that will boost the connection of the Ionian islands and the local economy.

A few details such as upgrading the wc’s as well as providing more snacks in the snack bar would be nice. The staff were polite, friendly and cooperative.
