International charter flights
to Preveza arrive most days of the week
from many parts of Europe, from early May to late October. British
charter flights are mainly from Gatwick
and Manchester on Saturdays and Sundays.
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 many local travel agencies on Lefkas,
especially in Nidri.
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 Heathrow
( www.ba.com ). Other airlines include Aegean
and Olympic airways.
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. 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. |
