Planning & Ionian Sailing
Why is Lefkada a top Greek charter base?
Huge fleet choice, easy airport access via PVK, and quick access to blue-water Ionian classics — Meganisi channels, Sivota bays, and longer hops toward Kefalonia.
Airport — Preveza (PVK) logistics?
Aktion serves many crews; taxi/transfer times to Lefkas town marina vary — book return transfers on busy Saturdays.
The floating bridge — any yacht limits?
Mast clearance and operating rules apply — your charter check-in briefing covers whether your yacht transits north/south of the canal zone; do not assume car-bridge clearances equal sailing clearance.

Maistros NW afternoons across Ionian; Vassiliki can build strong thermal patterns attractive to dinghy sailors — still relevant for anchoring plans.
Is Lefkada beginner-friendly?
Often cited as one of the friendlier Greek starts versus Cyclades summer — but channels, ferry wash, and afternoon breeze still need respect.
