Although Lefkada is classed as
an 'Island', all is not as it first appears! Levkas is attached to the
mainland via a small swing bridge and causeway at Lefkada Town in the North.
This bridge is raised for ten minutes every hour, on the hour, during the
summer to let boats through. It is therefore easy to drive on and off
the Island.
There are two ferry boat services
operating from Lefkas:
The ferryboat
'Meganissi'
shuttles between Nidri and the little ports of Spilia (Spartohori) and Vathy (Vathi),
on the Island of Meganisi. The journey time is about 20 minutes.
The ferry takes cars and foot passengers.
The following timetable was valid in
July
2011 (and could well change
through the summer with very little notice). Please reconfirm times with the ferry
company before travelling on (21041) 22530 (they might tell you to contact the Port Police). Or phone the Port Police on
(26450) 92509 (they might tell you to contact the ferry company).
