Ferry to Othonoi

Ferry Travel to Othonoi

Ferry travel to Othonoi centres on Ammos, the island’s main harbour on its southern coast, in Greece’s Ionian Islands. Arriving here places you in the coastal settlement, making it the most convenient base if you want to stay near the harbour rather than continue inland. For Chorio, the older village in the hills, the same arrival point means an onward journey uphill, so your accommodation’s location matters more than choosing between ports. The island’s small size does not make every destination an easy walk: hilly terrain separates the harbour from inland settlements and parts of the coast.

Othonoi belongs to the Diapontia Islands, the small group northwest of Corfu that also includes Erikoussa and Mathraki. Corfu is the natural geographical anchor for a wider Ionian itinerary, allowing you to combine a larger island and its historic town with a stay on one of its smaller neighbours. Erikoussa and Mathraki are geographically closer companions than the central and southern Ionian islands, but proximity alone does not make a multi-island ferry itinerary straightforward. Staying longer on one small island reduces transfers, while including several makes transport connections a more important part of the holiday. When choosing your ferries, build the journey around the island where you most want to spend time, rather than assuming every nearby island can be linked directly.
