For getting by ferry from Dubrovnik to Greece, first step is taking JADROLINIJA's overnight ferry (operated from April until end of October) to the port of Bari in the region of Puglia in Italy (crossing time is around 11 hours). 

From Bari you need to catch one of the ferries sailing to Greek ports or Corfu, Igoumenitsa, Patras or Sami. If you final destination are Greek islands (Rhodes, Santorini, Mykonos and others), take ferry to the port of Patras and from there take a bus or a train to Athens.

From port of Piraeus (12 km of Athens) there are numerous ferries to the popular Greek islands (check all of them here!) Or if you are visiting Athens, book your private car transfer either to the city, main train station or one of bus stations.

If ferry sailing schedule is not convenient for your travel, there is an option of travelling from Bari to Brindisi, which is located around 130 km further to the south. From there Grimaldi Lines operate ferries to Corfu (only during summer), Igoumenitsa and Patras (all year round).
