Travelling from Italy to Lefkada, Zante and Santorini

The Question:

hello I will be travelling from italy to greece and would like to visit santorini as well as lefkada and possibly zante and am having troubles connecting the pathways,
can you please assist me,
thanks Stavros!!


The Answer:

Hello!
This sounds like a nice trip!
So, if you start from Italy then you will probably stop at either Igoumenitsa or Patras. From Patras you need to either rent a car or catch a bus to reach Zante or Lefkada. There is no direct ferry connection from Lefkada to Zante. To reach Zante you can take the bus from Patras which will take you to Killini and from there you will take the ferry to Zante. To reach Lefkada, you can take the bus from Patras and it will take you straight there, without having to take a ferry since the island is connected to the mainland by a bridge. Another interesting way to travel from Lefkada to Zante is to take the ferry from Vassiliki in Lefkada and go to Kefallonia and from the Kefallonia (southern part) take the ferry to Zante.
Santorini is on the other side of Greece and belongs to the Aegean Sea islands. To reach Santorini you need to take the ferry from the port of Athens (Piraeus) or take a plane from the Athens International Airport.
Hope I have helped!

Raijmond Pijnenburg

The Answer:

Hello Raijmond!
Actually this is a seaplane company that mainly sells its tickets through the website and through the phone. I can see that there is no access in the information regarding timetables, so here are some useful numbers where you can call and ask all relevant information:
In Corfu it is +30 26610 99316 and in Lefkas it is +30 26450 22360.
Hope this will help!

Where is the suburban bus station of Igoumenitsa?

The Question:

Hi,
I want to travel by bus from igoumenitsa to Lefkas. Can you tell me where to find the busstation in igoumenitsa?
Thanks, Raijmond

The Answer:

Hey Raijmond!
So the suburban bus station KTEL of Igoumenitsa is located at 29 Kyprou street in Igoumenitsa. I am not so sure though, that they have a direct bus connection with Lefkada, so it would be better if you could call them first and confirm bus schedules. The phone number is +30 26650 99300.

Holy Cross festivities in Lefkada

The Question:

Geia sou Stravre,
You helped me so well in the question of Melissa gorge that I would ask the following.I have been trying to find out if there are any festivities concerning the day of the Holy Cross, Sept 14. As we arrive 13 Sept. on Lefkada it would be nice to know weather there are special things to see. May be only in churches dedicated to Agios Stavros if there is any on Lefkas?
Thanks in advance for your reply,
have a good Sunday,
me enkardious xairetismous,
Johan

The Answer:

Hey Johan!
As far as I know there is no listed festivity for the date mentioned...But churches of the same name will definitely be celebrating and it is quite possible that some small feast may take place. This depends on the mayor though and on the people of the village, as a result so far I do not have any information on a scheduled feast!
Have a nice day,

To Athens from Lefkada by train or bus?

The Question:

Hi Stavros!
My friends and I (8 in total)are going on a sailing holiday leaving from Lefkada. We have all managed to rent a car to get from Athens to Lefkada but not to return to Athens on Sunday the 31st of August. If we can\'t find a hire car (there are some available but too expensive) what is the best and fastest way to get from Lefkada to Athens? Would you recommend a bus or maybe a train journey?
Thank you very much for your help!
Kind regards,
Alex

The Answer:

Hello Alex!
I would definetely recommed the bus journey since it is going to be much faster and it will last approximately 5-6 hours. There is no train near Lefkada so things can be quite complicated. You can call +30 210 5250108 to learn about the scheduled bus itineraries!

The Melissa Gorge in Lefkada island

The Question:

Geia sas kurie Stavro
Also this year I will visit Lefkada. What I would like to know is the following:Where is the entrance to the Melissa gorge situated, how long is the gorge and where is the exit? I cannot trace the info on the net or on a map. As we walk distances and locations are important to avoid taking wrong roads.
Your reply will highly be appreciated,
me hairetismous,
ellinas

The Answer:

Geia sas!
What a nice question!
So the Melissa gorge in Lefkada is a beautiful gorge 2km long and it will take you almost 1 hour to cross it. Its exit is in the area of "Kako Lagkadi". To find the entrance of the gorge follow the instructions:
As soon as you have left the city of Lefkada, follow the regional road to the "Sfakioton Municipality". After a 6km drive you will come across a memorial the municipality has built. There you turn right into an asphalt built road and drive another 3km. There you turn right again and follow a non-asphalt road. 2km later you will see the entrance to the gorge as well as the cave Spilia and a fountain to drink some water!
Hope you will have a nice time at Lefkada!

Distance from Igoumenitsa to Lefkada

Travelling from Bari to Igoumenitsa, Lefkada and Athens

The Question:

Hello
Could you please tell me how I would get from Bari, Italy to Igoumenitsa then to Lefkada and finally onto Athens?
thank you

The Answer:

Ferries depart daily from Bari in Italy that arrive in Igoumenitsa. Some of the ferry companies are Blue Star ferries, Agoudimos lines and Ventouris lines. From there you need to rent a car and drive approximately 3 hours to the island of Lefkada. Lefkada is connected to the mainland of Greece by a bridge so you don't need to take another ferry. From Lefkada to Athens you can either drive or take a suburban bus (KTEL).
