Ionion Pelagos is a shipping company based in Kefalonia which makes connections from Astakos to Kefalonia and Ithaca all year round, and also from Lefkada (Vassiliki) during the summer.

The line from Astakos to Kefalonia (Sami) and Ithaca (Pisaetos) is very convenient for those who disembark in Igoumenitsa and must reach these islands. The journey time from Igoumenitsa to Astakos is in fact just over two hours.

Equally convenient is the summer connection from Vassiliki, always to Kefalonia (disembarking in Fiskardo) and Ithaca (Frikes).

Ionion Pelagos also connects Kefalonia with Ithaca, with at least two departures a day from Sami to Pisoaetos.
