Getting There
LEFKADA IS AN ISLAND CONNECTED TO THE MAINLAND VIA BRIDGE.
Reaching Lefkada Island can be done in two ways.
You can take a direct flight to PVK international airport which is just 25 minutes away from Lefkada Island.
PVK operates during the season and has many flights coming in from Europe.

Another option is to fly to Athens International Airport, then rent a car or a private bus. The journey to Lefkada is mostly highway with beautiful views and a smooth ride.
We can assist you with the local travel arrangements from either airport.
