Arriving in the charming capital of one of the most beautiful Ionian islands? Begin your visit in comfort with our professional Lefkada Preveza Airport to Lefkada City transfer service. We provide direct private transportation from Aktion National Airport to Lefkada's colourful town centre in approximately 27 minutes.
Lefkada City is 22 kilometres from Aktion Airport, connected via the coastal road through Preveza and then across the floating causeway bridge that links the mainland to Lefkada island. There is no direct public bus from the airport to Lefkada city — the connection requires a taxi or local bus into Preveza city first, followed by a separate intercity coach. Our Lefkada Preveza Airport to Lefkada City taxi service provides the most direct and comfortable connection with fixed pricing and a driver waiting at arrivals.
While several transportation alternatives exist for reaching Lefkada City from Lefkada Preveza Airport, each has limitations compared to a private transfer:
Our private taxi from Lefkada Preveza Airport to Lefkada City eliminates these hassles with direct, comfortable, door-to-door service at a guaranteed fixed price.
Lefkada City (also known as Lefkas) is one of the most distinctive and charming island capitals in Greece, its character shaped by a unique combination of Venetian influence, earthquake-resistant traditional architecture and a relaxed Ionian pace of life. The town's most immediately striking feature is its unusual building style — the upper floors of traditional houses are clad in painted corrugated metal or timber rather than stone, a construction method developed after devastating earthquakes to create lighter, more flexible structures. The result is a colourful and visually distinctive townscape unlike any other in Greece.
The town's waterfront promenade, the marina, and the Venetian-era Santa Mavra castle at the entrance to the lagoon are the main focal points of the city. The bustling pedestrian shopping street running through the old town centre offers excellent local produce, olive oil, local honey, and the renowned Lefkadian lace — one of the finest traditional handicrafts in the Ionian. Lefkada city serves as the main transport hub and services centre for the entire island, making it an excellent base for day trips to all corners of Lefkada by local bus or rental car.
Floating Causeway: The transfer crosses onto Lefkada island via the floating causeway bridge just north of the city. This is a standard road crossing — no ferry is required. The causeway opens periodically for boat traffic, which can occasionally add a few minutes to the crossing time.
Marina Area: Lefkada city's marina is one of the most popular yacht charter bases in the Ionian and is very busy in summer. If your accommodation is on the marina waterfront, please specify this when booking as access and parking arrangements differ from the town centre.
Island Hub: Lefkada city is the departure point for local KTEL buses to all major villages and resorts on the island, as well as for boat trips to the nearby Meganisi island and day excursions to Kefalonia and Ithaca. Pre-planning your island excursions from the city is straightforward.
