Discounts are available for pass holders on Anek Ferries, which I found very good. It was a blissful early summer crossing. When I travelled 3 years ago, reviews of Anek were very positive but Venezia Ferries sounded terrible. I recommend a cabin as it’s a long crossing. 10 days in 2 months sounds about right. if you are on Facebook there are also the public groups Interrail and Eurail Travellers and InterRailing for the Older Crowd. Both are searchable for tips.Have a great time.
I appreciate your offer, thanks very much @thibcabebest wishes
I agree, only yesterday I spent hours putting together a route to Cadiz from Lille via Cordoba. But nearly every French and Spanish train requires a seat reservation… it was just too much. Good luck with Andy at Discoverbyrail.
Hi Andrew. Anek Lines are the better service. You can go from Ancona to Patras or Bari to Patras. It takes 24 hours approx. Best to book a berth if you can. You get a reduction with your pass. When you book you see a section on the booking page entitled “Offer”. Select your pass type Interrail Greek Islands might be an option or Eurail. Here’s a link: https://www.anek.gr/booking/#step2Then click “Price” and you will see a reduced price fare. https://www.anek.gr/booking/#step2 it is well worthy getting a berth if you can afford it. It is a lovely journey.m, have done it twice. Remember Anek are the better of the 2 companies on that route.No trains in Patras but buses to the nearest train station. Look at Seat61 website for info.best wishes, Joanne
Anek are the better line according to reviews. I have used the 4 times and found them good.
I’ll just add that I have never been asked for a document proving UK residence.
I’m resident in the UK and have travelled 4 times using a global pass with my Irish passport. Have never been asked for a UK passport. I think you’ll be fine using your Irish passport. Ticket inspectors only look at your pass.
I would check out reviews of the GNV ferry company first. I’ve seen some really bad reviews for another one of their routes to Sardinia.
Thanks for getting back. Yes, booking.com is useful for accommodation.
Thanks, is there any where you’d recommend to stay / eat in Rimini?
