AREA GUIDE LOCAL AREA INTRODUCTION

Preveza is perfectly situated at the entrance to the inland gulf of Ambrakikos, midway

down the island chain for convenient access to the best of the Ionian, whether you choose

an itinerary to the north or the south.

Long regarded as a sailor’s paradise, the Ionian delights visitors with consistent sunshine,

reliable winds, plentiful anchorages, friendly locals and stunning scenery. Enjoy easy

walks through sun-dappled olive groves, snorkel in warm clear waters and immerse

yourself in the ancient civilizations and cultures of Greece.

Day Time

Monday -

Saturday

8am – 9pm

Sunday CLOSED

The fertile islands of the Ionian sea are covered in forests of pine and cypress, alongside

fields of wildflowers, in contrast to the barren mountainous terrain of mainland Greece.

The architecture found in the region is also unique, featuring red-tiled houses in mostly

Italian and French styles.

To sail Preveza you will need a sailing license that is recognized by the local port

authorities, or you can hire a local skipper to sail for you.

TOP THINGS TO DO IN PREVEZA:

1. Dine on seafood at Sivota

One of the best things to do in Preveza, is sail to the charming little village of Sivota,

boasting white cliffs and sandy beaches. Evenings bring a more lively crowd as

sailboats arrive to enjoy the famed seafood at the many tavernas. One of the

largest natural coves in the Ionian island chain is located here, providing excellent

shelter.

2. Visit beautiful Sami

Sail to the beautiful coastal town of Sami on the island of Kefalonia – a favorite of

many yachters. The waterfront is lined with tavernas serving fresh fish and wine

that was grown and bottled on the island.

3. Sail to Ithaca

Home to the Greek legend of Odysseus, the magical island of Ithaca is loved for its

ancient ruins, breathtaking harbors and wonderful wilderness walking trails.

4. Soak up the sun on Milos Beach

Milos Beach on the island of Lefkas is popular for sunbathing and swimming, but

the serene walk through the forest to reach the beach from Agios Nikitas is just as

delightful. There are no facilities here, so be sure to bring along your own

refreshments.

5. Hike to the Nidri Waterfalls

While on the island of Lefkas, a scenic walk to the Nidri waterfalls is a must-do.

Stroll through beautiful olive groves to a footpath leading to the sparkling falls. Be

sure to bring your walking shoes for this 40-minute walk – and a swimsuit for a

refreshing swim.

SAILING CONDITIONS

SAILING AREA

The beaches found in the Ionian are plentiful, and second to none. Sail to Meganisi to

swim and explore Papanikolis sea cave, an impressive natural wonder. At Vathi, discover

secluded golden sand beaches that are accessible only by boat. Fanari offers a scenic

pebbled beach with perfectly clear shallow water, and Megalo Limonari features a

backdrop of lush foliage popular with nature lovers.

Lefkas is one of the main Ionian Islands and is home to many beautiful anchorages and

towns surrounded by spectacular cliffs, a favorite is at the traditional village harbor of

Sivota. Another Preveza yacht charter highlight is the busy resort town of Nidri on Lefkas,

where you can find excellent dining at traditional “Fistaria” grill houses serving delicious

souvlaki skewers and local wines. WEATHER

The best time of year to sail Preveza is in the summer when you can make the most of

the Mediterranean climate and hot, dry and sunny weather. The best month for an island

sailing Lefkas vacation is June, when there are fewer crowds and warm weather.

Temperatures in summer can reach 88ºF and the sea is warm for swimming at 77ºF.

Lefkas has a long sailing season and the spring and fall are also perfect for sailing with

good weather.
