Flight, Transfer and Getting Here Info

Nearest airport is Preveza/Aktio

(do check with us first to make sure we have room for you - and then book flights!)

Well, 2020 and 2021 have knocked all sense out of any flight suggestions we might have had. This year (2022) the prices have been incredibly good (£140 return with bags) or a bit nuts (£400+). Flights are currently available from London Gatwick, Heathrow, Stansted, Manchester, Bristol, Birmingham and as of 2022 - Edinburgh!

The best places to check for flights are here but please note, it's always best to book with the company direct rather than through a third party. However, sometimes the third parties have bought an allocation of flights so offer them more cheaply if they haven't managed to sell the amount they were expecting to...

• www.easyjet.com - great if you book REALLY early
• www.ryanair.com - amazingly during June 2021, Ryanair were the most reliable flight provider
• www.jet2.com - also a good affordable option (Edinburgh flights are with Jet 2)
• www.britishairways.com - for Heathrow flights
• www.charterflights.co.uk - our go-to company, often has prices that no one else has
• www.skyscanner.net - a good general flight resource (although I'd use them to check the flight details and then book direct
• www.sailingholidays.com - sometimes have Birmingham flights and good deals, generally

More flight information:

• The flight time is about 3 hours and 15 minutes
• When booking flights please remember that check in time is 2pm at the earliest, and check out is 10am, regardless of your flight departure time
• Transfer time is approximately 30- 40 minutes
• September flights are always really popular, so we would recommend not hanging about with booking them
• If you can hold your nerve to two weeks before travelling the prices can go down significantly (but not always) - but NOT with Easyjet or Ryanair. If you're planning on using them, then you need to book as soon as possible
• If you are arriving on Saturday (or any day other than Sunday) you will need to pay for any extra nights accommodation at a local venue and an additional transfer charge. Please contact us for more info.

Transfers

• Free transfers by taxi are available to meet all Sunday flights. The latest bus arrival we can meet is 10pm (4.30pm from Athens)
• There may be a wait between being met and being transferred. Normally you'll leave directly, but in order to keep costs down we group some guests together.
• The maximum waiting time is normally no more than an hour. Waiting over an hour happens infrequently but it DOES happen. It depends on the vagaries of flight arrivals - some flights arrive early and some late. If you want a guaranteed direct transfer there is an additional cost of £40 (this covers the transfer both ways).
• 85% of arriving guests leave immediately - no waiting. We just can't guarantee it!
• Flights arriving or departing on any day other than Sunday will be subject to a £40 charge both ways.
• We will get you back to the airport with plenty of time to check in. Normally somewhere between 2 and 3 hours before your flight is due to depart.
• Regardless of the time of your departure flight, rooms must be vacated at 10am on Sunday. There will be somewhere to leave your cases, but we can't promise a shower.... There is the option of renting a room for the daytime for about 35 euros.

Cheaper/Alternative Route

If flights don't go directly to Preveza from your country, or the prices are prohibitive, it can be worth checking out the Athens option.

There is an (air-conditioned) coach to Lefkada. Here is the timetable. We can meet buses departing Athens before 3pm, the ticket costs about 60 euros return and it takes about 5 hours. It takes about an hour to get to the bus station from Athens airport (there is a bus that goes every 20 mins and it costs about 5 euros, by taxi it's 30 euros or more). Here is the timetable for the cross-Athens bus. Email us using the 'Get In Touch' box at the top of the page, if you want more info.
