Preveza occupies a peninsula at the entrance to the Ambracian Gulf, opposite Cape Actium, where Octavian defeated Antony and Cleopatra in 31 BC. To the west stretches Monolithi, a sandy beach of about 22 km. With Zonetransfers, a driver meets you at the ground-floor arrivals hall and takes you straight to Preveza at a fixed price from €499.
From Athens Airport to Preveza, a private car starts at €499 with one to four people on board, for a drive of about 378 km (4 h 15–4 h 20). Motorway and bridge tolls, fuel, VAT and 60 minutes of free waiting are included. Zonetransfers emails your voucher with a 24-hour number.
