If you really want to watch your budget, you can opt for the direct KTEL Lefkadas bus, which departs three times a day.

Which UK airports fly direct to Preveza?

You can fly directly to Preveza from either Bristol or London Gatwick using easyJet. Both flights take just under three and a half hours, making this perfect for city breaks. Both direct flight options start at reasonable prices and, if you want to lower costs even more, try to book your holiday during the off-season months outside of summer. Preveza sees fewer tourists between December and March as the climate is a little cooler, which means you're more likely to find cheaper prices and deals that you can take advantage of.

Does Preveza have a beach?

Yes, Preveza is blessed with many stunning beaches. As a coastal destination, Preveza offers you a wide variety of seaside options for every beach mood. If you're with family and little kids, there's Monolithi Beach. At 25 kilometres long, this is Europe's largest sandy beach, which has shallow waters and many nearby cafes, so you can enjoy the sea breeze with refreshments. Looking for something interesting to do while relaxing? Try Kiani Atki, where you can watch seaplanes gracefully coming and going. You can also dance the night away at Vrahos Loutsa, where plenty of beach-side nightclubs exist. If you're planning to drop by multiple beaches, try to arrange for a car, as they can be several kilometres from each other!

How do I get to Lefkada from Preveza?

Preveza is close to Lefkada, it's only about half an hour's drive away. Connected by a bridge, Preveza is often considered the gateway to the Ionian Islands, of which Lefkada is the most popular. There aren't really any other established ways to get to Lefkada from the Greek mainland outside of this bridge, so make the most of this while you're on your Preveza easyJet holiday. Lefkada is called the "Caribbean of Greece,' so you can expect to see crystal clear blue waters, mountain ranges, and historical landmarks. This is why it's popular among beach lovers, hikers, sailors, and history enthusiasts.

Is Preveza good for tourists?

Preveza is considered a great tourist spot! Because this town is often a means to other more famous destinations like Lefkada or Parga, you can expect plenty of infrastructure in place to make it easier for you to navigate and experience Preveza. This includes many locals who can speak English and established information centres which can help you find anything you need. That said, Preveza is also a very laid-back town that is rather quiet on its own. While there are great activities to do here, the town is not as crowded or expensive as its more talked-about neighbours, so you can enjoy a relaxed, budget-friendly holiday here, too.

What food is Preveza known for?

The food in Preveza should definitely not be missed. Since the town is right next to the Ambracian Gulf, the cuisine features fresh seafood, hearty dishes, and the signature bright flavours inherent in Greek food. Three of the most popular ingredients you'll find here are caramote prawns, red mullet, and sardines. The latter even has a festival held in its honour every August. This seafood is usually roasted and served with olive oil, garlic, vinegar, and a few other aromatics to let the fish's natural flavours shine. Another local favourite is petali (sea bream), which is salted, sundried, and grilled for hours before serving. Preveza is also famous for its pies, which make for a cosy meal after a day at the beach. One you shouldn't miss is Mplatsara, which is a savoury pie made with onions and dill. Prefer your pies on the sweeter side? Try galatopita. This is a milk custard pie made with semolina, butter, and delicate phyllo pastry. Afterwards, you can wash it down with some local alcohol like ouzo and tsipouro. Both can pack a punch, though, so drink responsibly!

Why fly to Preveza?

Cheap flights to Preveza. One of western Greece’s little-known diamonds, this coastal town at the mouth of the Ambracian Gulf is both pleasant and peaceful. Its atmospheric old bazaar area has a tight-knit set of alleys with a number of fine buildings that have survived from the Ottoman period, including a selection of excellent ouzeris (taverns). Although there are several small museums in town, the main attraction for history buffs is outside: just 8km north is Nikopolis (or ‘Victory City’, as the name translates), which was created under the order of Roman Emperor Octavian (later Emperor Augustus) to commemorate his win over Anthony and Cleopatra’s fleet at nearby Actium in 31BC.

Best of all, less than 20km south lies the region’s undisputed gem, the beautiful Ionian island of Lefkada, which is actually connected to the mainland by a causeway and pontoon bridge. Not overtly touristic except for the resorts of Nydri and Vassiliki, Lefkada is a laid back capital with several important churches, a rugged mountainous interior and a spectacular west coast. Its beaches, sandwiched between dramatic cliffs and the sea, a dazzling palette of milky turquoise blending into deep azure, rival any in Greece.
