CORFU. Increased fuel prices have also affected Lefkimmi-Igoumenitsa ferry tickets.
The two companies running the Corfu-Igoumenitsa ferry services have increased ticket prices and reduced the discounts for online bookings and for permanent residents.
Passenger tickets are now €2.50-2.60 more expensive and for passenger vehicles €10-10.20 more expensive! The 50% discount for those booking online and for permanent residents has now been reduced to 25%.
The price of a passenger ticket has increased from last week's €5 to €7.50 or €7.60, depending on the company. For passenger vehicles it now costs €30 or €30.20, compared to €20 which it is was previously.
Permanent residents
There have been price changes for permanent residents. The 50% discount which was available at ticket booths on proof of residency has been abolished and they will have to pay the prices listed above - €7.50 or €7.60 for passengers and €30 or €30.20 for passenger vehicles.
According to one of the shipping companies, these prices will apply until 3 September. The price of tickets issued at ticket booths/offices hasn't changed (€10 for passengers and €40 for vehicles) as the changes only relate to online bookings. However, a large percentage of travellers book online in order to save money.
Lefkimmi-Igoumenitsa
There have also been price increases for the Lefkimmi-Igoumenitsa ferry service. The new rates have been in force for three days now as a result of the increase in fuel prices and the inability of the shipping company to absorb these costs. The price increases apply both to tickets bought at booths/offices and to online bookings.
Tickets not bought online have increased from €7.50 to €8.10 for passengers and from €26.40 to €29 for passenger vehicles. For online bookings the 25% discount has been reduced and prices are now €6.60 for passengers and €24.20 for passenger vehicles.
These prices will apply until 3 September. Due to increased fuel prices, the number of travellers from Serbia, Bulgaria, Romania and North Macedonia, who travelled to Corfu via Lefkimmi Port, has decreased significantly. In contrast, the number of tourist coaches from Serbia and Romania has increased as it provides a more economical alternative.
The price increases have come in the heart of the tourist season, with significantly more people travelling.
