Preveza Airport Transfer Costs to Lefkada and Beyond

Preveza Aktion Airport serves two distinct sets of destinations — Preveza city to the east, and Lefkada island to the west. Prices reflect the distances involved.

To Preveza city centre (5 km)

• Taxi: 8-12 EUR.
• Pre-booked transfer: 10-15 EUR.

A short 10-minute drive. Taxis are readily available for this route.

To Lefkada Town (25 km)

• Taxi: 35-50 EUR.
• Pre-booked transfer: 35-50 EUR.

The journey crosses the causeway and the floating bridge into Lefkada town. About 25-30 minutes under normal conditions.

To Nidri (50 km)

• Taxi: 50-70 EUR.
• Pre-booked transfer: 50-70 EUR.

Nidri is the main resort hub on Lefkada's east coast, popular for sailing holidays and access to the Ionian islands. Allow 45-55 minutes from the airport.

To Vassiliki (65 km)

• Taxi: 60-80 EUR.
• Pre-booked transfer: 60-80 EUR.

Vassiliki is at the southern tip of Lefkada, famous for windsurfing. About 60-75 minutes from the airport.

To Agios Nikitas (45 km, northwest)

• Taxi: 50-65 EUR.
• Pre-booked transfer: 50-65 EUR.

A charming village on the west coast, accessible via the mountain road across the island.

To Sivota / Poros (55-65 km southeast)

• Taxi: 55-75 EUR.
• Pre-booked transfer: 55-75 EUR.

Quieter bays on the east and southeast coast.

To Lefkada west coast beaches (Porto Katsiki, Egremni)

These beaches are not near any accommodation — they are day trip destinations accessed by car. If you are going directly from the airport to a property near the west coast, it is a mountain road journey and distances vary. Expect 55-75 EUR for properties near the west coast clifftops.

What affects the price

Night surcharge: Greek taxi Tariff 2 applies midnight to 5 AM, adding 20-30% to fares. A 50 EUR Nidri fare becomes approximately 62-65 EUR after midnight.

Vehicle size: Minivan transfers cost 10-20 EUR more than standard sedans. Worth it for families.

Return airport transfers: The reverse journey (resort to airport) follows similar pricing. Book this in advance — taxis in Nidri and Vassiliki are not always available on short notice.

Is there a budget alternative?

For Preveza city, a taxi at 8-12 EUR is already inexpensive. For Lefkada, there is no meaningful budget alternative to a taxi or transfer from the airport. Some travellers take a taxi to the junction near Lefkada bridge (cheaper) and then a local bus onward, but this is impractical with luggage and the time savings rarely justify the complexity.
