- | + | Cleopatra Marina is a relatively new marina (opened 2009) situated on the Aktio peninsula opposite the town of [[Preveza]], which lies at the entrance to the [[Ambrakikos Gulf]] in the South Ionian Sea. The marina, although small, is associated with a large boatyard capable of storing nearly 1,000 yachts on land and is therefore popular with cruisers laying up in the yard. The marina offers 100 berths for yachts up to 30.0 metres and in depths of up to 8.0 metres. The marina has a wide range of services and the yard is capable of most repairs. The marina offer berths in the water ONLY in the summer, as the winter is considered dangerous. In winter the marina offers only dry berths. | |
