If empty charter seats are available, it is possible to fly direct from Preveza to the UK.  Up to date availability can be obtained from Athos Travel.  Click HERE for details.

Athens is another good possibility.  Seats with airlines like EasyJet can be VERY cheap. British Airways can also offer very good special offers and have a direct daytime flight to Athens from Birmingham, as well as Heathrow and Gatwick (click HERE).  When you arrive in Athens you can spend a little time there or travel straight to Lefkas by Internal Olympic flight to Preveza, or take a bus or taxi (about 5 - 6 hours).  Between three or four people a taxi can work out a lot cheaper than flying into Preveza by charter - and you also have the flexibility to stay as many days as you want, unlike a package holiday.  For more info and useful links click HERE.

Sometimes, scheduled airlines offer very good prices from regional airports into Athens if you fly via a hub such as Frankfurt or Amsterdam. You have to change, but it saves you the time and expense of travelling to Gatwick or Manchester. Go to the Welcome Abroad website and check their Online Scheduled Flights Availability. Click HERE.

The flights below are provisional. There may be some changes before and during the summer, so please confirm with the tour operators or airlines concerned. Most of these flights are shared by a number of tour operators, so if you can't find a seat with one tour operator try another. Alternatively, go to a specialist travel agent. 

All times should be reconfirmed with the airlines/tour operators concerned. Information courtesy of IAG Flights Ltd. (0870) 0604 060
