From: Roger Peedle on 3 Aug 2007 06:19 I wish to have about a week on Kefalonia and a week on Corfu. (June next year) I have been trying to find, wihthout success how to travel between the two islands. (travel could be in either direction) If anyone can let me know what options are available I would be very grateful? Also if there is a simple option for getting to Croatia from either Corfu or Kefalonia? Thanks Roger Peedle

There are no ferries that regularly go directly between the islands. Unless things have changed recently the only way I can see to do it would be to wait for one of the daily ferries that come from Italy and call at Corfu on the way to Patras. From Patras there are daily ferries to Kefalonia. It might take more than a day though. -- Mike Lane (UK North Yorkshire) To contact me replace invalid with mike underscore lane

Lefkas is connected to the mainland by a causeway and there is a daily bus service from Lefkas to Igoumenitsa. Ferries run from Igoumenitsa to Corfu. Again, it could take a very large part of a day! I did this journey in 2004 but things might have changed since then.
