Preveza : Profile

Clearance

The offices of the Port Police, Customs and Immigration are rather spread out, but the tourist office on the quay can provide a very useful map.

The entrance to the Port Police is behind the building - not easy to find!

Docking

This mainland harbour, just north of the island of Lefkas, guards the inland waters of the Gulf of Amvrakia.

Beware of the current which will often be running through the buoyed channel (up to 3 knots!) and with a NW wind, this can create an unpleasant chop. The car ferries very rarely run now across the channel, having been replaced by a tunnel. Shelter in the harbour itself is good. Moor stern-to on the west quay or alongside, just outside the basin. The town basin now has concrete pontoons for yachts in addition to the usual long wall. The quay is much improved. The mud of the bottom provides excellent holding.
