Hi,
For the last part of my Interrail trip, I was thinking of going from Rome to Bari by train and then to Corfu by ferry. As it would be our last travel day, we'd have to do it one day. The latest day which I could do it on is Saturday the 29th of August. I was looking at the train times for that day and the earliest was 8h05 from Rome to arrive in Bari at 12h08. The ferry from Bari to Corfu is at 13h00. Would that leave enough time to get the ferry? Is it far from the train station in Bari to the port where you get the ferry? Also, how far in advance would you have to reserve the tickets for the train and ferry?

Hi!
Personally, I would not risk it.
Minimum check in time at Bari (for Superfast Ferries at least) is 30 minutes before departure.
The distance between station and ferry terminal is about 2km: [u]https://rail.cc/en/bari/station/c[/u]

@ RES: again that utmost fear of having to REServe monthes before? Nonsense. For the boat=ferry, you do not need to RES as foot-passenger, only with cars/caravans. Also; you likely want the discount ferry: well there are also others, and their end-price may in fact be less as the discount on an expensive ferry. PLUS there are scores of other ferries from Brindisi (=shorter, thus cheaper) and more Adriatic ports.
For the train, if you choose it: do it yourself at any of the machines at any main station in IT-do as buy full fare, later you fill in interrail as code and then its just 3 eur. Consider/search or an overnite train lve the eve before.
