Lefkada & Getting Here

An Ionian gateway

Lefkada, also written Lefkas, sits just off the west coast of mainland Greece. A floating bridge connects the island to the mainland, so reaching it by road does not require an island ferry. For holiday planning, it helps to distinguish Lefkada town from the rest of the island: an address on Lefkada may be some way along the coast.

We are using Lefkada as the planning area for Anasa’s move to the Ionian. Please confirm the departure point and boarding arrangements with us before committing to travel. Confirm the meeting address directly with us so your onward journey ends in the right place.

Flying to Aktion Airport

Aktion Airport, code PVK, serves the Preveza and Lefkada area from the mainland. When comparing flights, search with the airport code as well as the names Aktion and Preveza. Check the operating dates directly with your airline, particularly outside the main summer period.

The airport lists taxis, car hire and bus connections to Lefkada. These are independent travel options. Choose your onward journey once you know the exact destination, and check current arrangements with the relevant operator. Confirm the journey and fare with your chosen provider once the meeting point is agreed.

Coming by road

The mainland connection makes a road journey an option, including as part of a longer stay in Greece. Plan the whole journey to the agreed meeting point rather than stopping your route search at ‘Lefkada’. If you are hiring a car, check the collection, return and parking arrangements with the provider; a car may be useful for time ashore before or after sailing.

Leave room for the arrival day

Allow for baggage collection, onward travel and delays, as well as the boarding arrangements agreed for your trip. Avoid a tight connection between landing and departure by boat. An overnight stay before boarding may make sense if your journey is long or your flight arrives late.

Send us your proposed arrival and departure plans before you book. Keep return-day travel separate from the outline sailing route until the return and disembarkation arrangements are confirmed.

A little time in Lefkada

A walk through Lefkada town’s streets, a coffee near the waterfront and a meal ashore can ease the transition from travelling to holiday. If you would like to see more of the island, give it a day of its own before or after the sailing journey. Western beaches and inland villages are shore excursions to plan separately, rather than assumed stops on a sailing route.
