Preveza is a working town at the mouth of the Ambracian Gulf with one of the largest charter fleets in Greece behind it. It is not the prettiest base in the Ionian and it is one of the most practical: a real airport nearby, a sheltered approach, and Lefkas, Meganisi and the whole southern Ionian within the first day.
What a Preveza week reaches
South through the Lefkas canal to Nydri and Meganisi, on to Ithaca, Kefalonia and Kalamos, with Sivota and Parga to the north if you prefer that direction. Everything is a short hop, the afternoon breeze is reliable and moderate, and shelter is always close. It is the gentlest bareboat week in Greece and the standard recommendation for a first charter.
What it costs
The Moorings publishes $2,634 to $36,999 for a 7 day charter for 2 people out of its Greek bases, the only published Greek weekly range in this record, and Seafarer Sailing publishes nothing across twelve Greek bases including the Ionian. The Ionian fleet is large and includes many older boats, so it tends to sit at the more affordable end of the Greek market.
The canal and the airport
Two practical points. The Lefkas canal has a swing bridge that opens on the hour, so the first afternoon is timed around it rather than around the wind. And Aktion airport is close enough that a Saturday handover works without an overnight, which is a real convenience and part of why the base is so busy.
