About Preveza Airport (PVK)
Preveza Aktion Airport (IATA: PVK), also known as Lefkada Airport, is located approximately 35 km south of Preveza city and 45 km from Lefkada island, near the ancient site of Actium. It handles mainly charter and low-cost routes from northern Europe during the summer season, with the majority of passengers heading to Lefkada and the surrounding Ionian coast. The terminal is a small single-building facility. Car rental desks are in the arrivals area and vehicle collection is simple and quick. This is one of the smaller and more relaxed airports in Greece to arrive into.
Getting on the road from Preveza Airport
From the airport, Lefkada island is approximately 45 km north via Preveza and the causeway connecting the island to the mainland, a drive of around 40 minutes. Preveza city is about 35 km north, around 30 minutes. The Ionian coastal town of Parga, one of the most scenic on the Greek mainland coast, is approximately 55 km north of the airport via Preveza. Nicopolis, the large ancient Roman city founded by Augustus after the Battle of Actium, is just 10 km north of the airport. Arta and the Byzantine bridge that spans the Arachthos river are about 60 km east. The island of Kefalonia can be reached by ferry from Sami or Fiskardo; the drive from the airport to the Lefkada ferry connection takes around an hour.
Why pick up at the airport rather than in the city
Preveza Airport is the gateway airport for Lefkada and the surrounding Ionian coast, and virtually all visitors arriving here need a car to get to their destination. Lefkada island, while connected to the mainland by a causeway, has beaches and villages that are scattered and require a car to reach independently. Picking up at the airport and driving directly to Lefkada avoids any need for a transfer. For more about driving in the area, see car rental in Preveza and car rental in Greece.
