Getting to Lefkada

Plan the journey to the island, including the mainland connection and the onward trip to your accommodation.

Arrive via the mainland link

Lefkada is connected to mainland Greece by a floating bridge and causeway at Lefkada Town. You can drive onto the island, or fly into Aktion National Airport (PVK) near Preveza and continue by transfer, hire car or bus.

Getting around once you are here

East-coast resorts are closer together than the west-coast beaches. A car shortens days to Porto Katsiki and Egremni; Nidri works well without one if boat trips and local beaches are enough.
