Travel information
Alternatively you can fly from a UK airport to Athens with most major airlines including Easy Jet, enjoy a day or 2 in the city if you wish, before getting the bus to Lefkada. Buses are air conditioned and very reasonably priced. They run frequently throughout the day and the journey takes about 6 hours. You can also fly from Athens to the islands of Keffalonia or Corfu on the west coast and incorporate a boat trip into to your journey or fly to Ioannina on the mainland and finish your trip by car. About a 2 hour drive to Fterno. EasyJet now operate flights direct from London Gatwick to Corfu, leaving either a 1 hour ferry and 2 hour drive, or 1 hour seaplane flight to Lefkada. Though Lefkada is technically an island it is joined to the mainland by a swing bridge making driving on and off the island easy. On the island a car is essential to reach the house and we would recommend that you hire your own, especially if you wish to explore the island, it's many villages and beaches or perhaps travel to the mainland only 45 minutes away. From Preveza Airport it will take about : 20 minutes to reach Lefkada |
The usual way to travel from Britain to Lefkada (also called Lefkas ) during the holiday season is by flight to Preveza airport which is about a 20 minute drive from the island. There are a number of package holiday flights from Gatwick and Manchester on Sundays which have flight only options. British Airways, Excel Airways and Thomas Cook are the main ones but there may be others. Hiring a car at the airport is the best option. Most car hire companies operate from the airport and we can arrange for you to receive a very good deal if you wish. You can however take a taxi to Lefkada and sort your car hire out there. There is no train or bus service from the airport.
