The Rio ferry is located eight kilometers northeast of the center of Patras and connects the Peloponnese with Central Greece by ferry.

Depending on the intensity and direction of the wind, the ships sail in and out from the West or East pier. Arriving at the port you can be informed accordingly, since the distance between the piers is quite short.

Despite the construction of the bridge, the Rio - Antirrio Ferry continues to offer its services transporting thousands of passengers and vehicles on a daily and 24-hour basis.

Now most ships are two-way, a fact that makes it particularly easy for the drivers, while it makes the loading and unloading of the ships much faster.

Choosing a boat for the Rio - Antirrio route is an ideal option for those who wish to travel more economically than the bridge, while during the trip, the passenger is given the opportunity to enjoy the excellent view and admire the Europe's longest cable-stayed bridge.

It is worth noting that foot passengers travel for free, which enables those who wish to take a short cruise at no cost from Rio to Antirrio and vice versa.
