Igoumenitsa, Greece

From Catania, Sicily, we took an overnight bus to Brindisi, Italy. We just wanted to get to Greece. Of course almost everything was closed. We found a ticket office for the ferries. They didn't actually sell ferry tickets, but they said there was a bus every 20 mins that ran from the corner to the ferries. 2 hours later - still no bus.

We eventually got to the port, where we got a ticket for the next ferry leaving Italy. Corfu was where we wanted to go, but Igoumenitsa was the soonest option. It's a long distance from Italy to Greece. On the way we enjoyed the view.

We arrived in Igoumenitsa, Greece just as the sun set.

The next night we took an overnight bus to Athens. We had intended to sleep on the bus. For some reason, the bus got into Athens a few hours earlier. It was 3am, and we were dropped in the sketchiest "I'm going to get murdered" bus station in my entire life. We walked outside, and the bus station isn't in the center of Athens: it was on the side of the highway. We took a taxi to the nearest, cheapest hotel to get out of there.
