Tips for travelers at PVK
The airport sits about 25 km from Preveza town and roughly 35 km from Lefkada. Car rental is your best move here — public transit options are thin, and you'll want wheels to explore the region properly anyway. Book rental cars early in peak summer, prices spike hard in July and August. Seasonal service is the big thing to plan around: most routes operate April through October, with connectivity dropping sharply in winter. If you're traveling outside peak season, double-check your return route still operates before you book accommodation.
