Travelling from Bari to Igoumenitsa, Lefkada and Athens

The Question:

Hello
Could you please tell me how I would get from Bari, Italy to Igoumenitsa then to Lefkada and finally onto Athens?
thank you

The Answer:

Ferries depart daily from Bari in Italy that arrive in Igoumenitsa. Some of the ferry companies are Blue Star ferries, Agoudimos lines and Ventouris lines. From there you need to rent a car and drive approximately 3 hours to the island of Lefkada. Lefkada is connected to the mainland of Greece by a bridge so you don't need to take another ferry. From Lefkada to Athens you can either drive or take a suburban bus (KTEL).

From Igoumenitsa to Kifissia, Athens

The Question:

Hi!
We want to go from Bari, Italy to Igoumenitsa, Greece then on to Kifissia. Can you please tell me the cheapest/fastest way to do that?
thanks

The Answer:

Hello!
First of all, Kifissia is a suburb of Athens. As a result, you need to take a suburban bus (KTEL) from Igoumenitsa to Athens. As soon as you arrive at the Kifissos KTEL station in Athens, then there is a bus 051 that will take you to the city center and very close to the metro station of Omonoia. From the metro station of Omonoia, take the green line and take off at Kifissia station.
Hope this will be helpful to you!
