Some flights on this routing necessitate an overnight stay in Venice on the outward journey as the flights do not connect with the ferries for the same day. Check out the link at the bottom of this page for hotel information try and book one on Venice Island as there is a ferry courtesy bus which runs between Piazzale Roma on Venice Island and the ferry terminal.London Gatwick - Venice Marco Polo - WinterWinter schedules run from 28th October 2007 to 29th March 2008

All flight timings are local to departure/destination airports. These timetables were correct at the time of production. Please check the latest timings at www.easyjet.com before making any arrangements. The fares for this trip can vary depending on time of travel and notice of booking. Please refer to www.easyjet.com for the current prices. Now you need to get from Marco Polo Airport to Venice
If you're headed for Venice from Marco Polo, the easiest - and cheapest - way to get there is to take the connecting ATVO Eurobus service. The fare is much cheaper than a taxi, only 3 including baggage. You must buy a ticket before boarding. When leaving the customs hall, turn left on entering the main arrivals area. Follow the signs for the buses. At the bus ticket counter you must ask for an ATVO ticket. There may be several counters open and one will be for ATVO tickets. When you have bought your ticket, exit the terminal and the bus stop is right outside. Look for the blue ATVO signs. The end of the line is the Piazzale Roma, which is a short walk from the ferry terminal or you can walk or catch a vaporetto (water bus) to your hotel. The timetable for this service is below. (Summer timetable to follow as soon as available)
Ferry CompaniesNow you need to decide on which ferry you would like. www.ferries.gr is an excellent site which has ALL the ferry companies listed. You can see the different types of ships and the facilities they have. They are like mini cruise ships and prices will range from the lowest (sleeping on the floor inside or the deck outside) to medium (sleeping on a pre-booked aircraft seat) or more expensive (cabin). You can book several different grades of cabins according to your preference (and pocket!). It is worth noting that in Low Season if you are prepared to take the risk and wait until you are actually on the ferry to book a cabin then you will get one much cheaper than if you pre-book. When I book my ferries I always use www.ferries.gr . They are excellent, have often found me a cabin at short notice (when other companies have said there are none!), and its so easy. You can pay by credit/debit card. They will email you an electronic booking number. You then present this number to the ticket office in Venice and the tickets are issued. If you are more comfortable with using an English booking agent then Viamare Travel Ltd www.viamare.com are agents for all Greek Ferries. I have listed below the timetables for the ferry companies that do the Venice Corfu Venice route. Please note, these timetables have been reduced to show ONLY the ferries that travel to and from Corfu/Igoumenitsa. They have other departures from Venice to Mainland Greece but these may not stop at Corfu/Igoumenitsa. Two ferry companies currently operate from Venice to Corfu/Igoumenitsa to Venice. These are Minoan Lines and Anek Lines. I have summarised the timetable connections with the EasyJet flights below. WINTER SCHEDULE 2006/2007
SUMMER SCHEDULE 2007
