Hotels near Aktion Airport - PVK, Lefkada Town

It's nice both as a center and as a base to explore the area. Preveza itself is a working coastal town, quite small and there's not much in the town for more than a few days. The port area is fully modernised however with numerous fashionable cafes, bars and trendy clothes shops. Also, top quality locally sourced seafood in the numerous Tavernas - Preveza is rightly famous for prawns - fill your boots!!! You will need a car to visit the abundant local historical and scenic attractions, most of which are max 1 hour away. It's not really for a 'young children' holiday, but if you like history, the natural world, and beautiful areas it is a fantastic base camp. Don't come here if you want Spanish Anglo style food/bars/clubs. This is proper Greece. Warm, relaxed, friendly locals and of course completely safe.

Preveza is the hub of the Ionian if you are a boatie. Its a very pretty town with lots of facilities if you want a Mediterranean holiday with out the "Greek Islands" Holiday prices. Beaches a walking distance from town. You can do lots of tours and siteseeing from here - a 4 hour bus ride from Athens and you can be basking in the salt rich bath water temperature of the Mediterranean Sea.

This was my first time in Preveza and I was pleasantly surprised. The city offers nice walkable streets with small shops. There are plenty of restaurants and cafes with delicious and inexpensive food. The tourists are mainly greeks which I see as a sign that the area is worth visiting. There a many beautiful beaches. The streets are a bit confusing, Google will guide you to streets that are too small for a car, some of the roundabouts are not even marked.

Gorgeous area to visit. Preveza is a buzzing little classy town with beautiful traditional streets lined with shops & restaurants. The port areas are fun to walk around. Nice beaches nearby and plenty to do.

Preveza town itself is one main street leading from the motorway up past the bus station and on to larger areas of Greece. Then there is a middle walking route with a parade of shops, some touristy, but overall a mixture, with small tavernas leading to the central cathedral; there is a lovely bakery just past there! Then the promenade along where the many yachts are parked next to the large bay area. You can take a boat trip from here to see dolphins and turtles. There is very little in the way of historic areas, other than on the outskirts past the bus station where you will find ruins and the Archaeological Museum. There is a small secluded beach to the far end of the promenade, where they play boules and you can relax on sunbeds. There is an old castle of sorts in this area and large trees to hide from the midday sun during peak summer.

This bustling town with its array of welcoming tavernas will fill your mind with happy memories .An early evening walk along the water's edge will bring you close to the great variety of boats which line the marina. We plan to return next year.
