TRAVEL: Getting to the Sail Ionian base on Lefkas

The Sail Ionian base is in Vliho village on the island of Lefkas. Lefkas is linked by a causeway to the mainland and our base is about 30 minutes from Preveza Airport, 40 euros for 4 people sharing a taxi. A taxi will be arranged to meet you at the airport to transfer you to our base.

A further option is to fly to Athens and then take a local flight to Preveza, bus, taxi, or car to Lefkas, this can sometimes be more cost effective. There is a new bridge now open and this journey time from Athens to Preveza is around 5 hours.

It is also possible to fly to Corfu and then travel by ferry to the mainland and then by car, taxi, or bus to Lefkas, last time we went this way it took us about four hours by ferry and car. A sea plane also operates from Corfu to Levkas Town.

We can provide a full package inclusive of flights, and are always pleased to advise on the travel options to Lefkas. Bargains can be found depending on when you want to travel. We can assist in making flight arrangements, please call our office or email any enquiries.

Early booking is imperative to avoid disappointment.

Flying via Athens

Easyjet, British airways, and Olympic fly to Athens. If there are three or four of you it is often cheaper to fly with Easy Jet and then get a taxi to Lefkas (Journey time approx 5 hours), this has added advantages of flexibility, and will also let you visit other parts of Greece.

The connecting flights from Athens to Preveza are run by Olympic air lines, and we expect will be around €130.00 (£75.00) return during 2003, and they should run everyday during the summer.
