Preveza
GPS: 38°57.6′N, 20°45.4′E
Background
Preveza (Πρέβεζα) is a commercial port at the entrance of the Ambrakikos Gulf. In the vicinity there are at least 4 shipyards/marinas where many visiting cruisers winter their boats. There can be confusion because Preveza is often used to describe the facilities on both sides of the entrance to the gulf, when I believe that technically the town of PREVEZA is on the NW side and ACTIUM is on the opposite SE side, near to Preveza airport. The 2 sides are connected by a tunnel under the channel. The Preveza side is where you will find the commercial centre, port authorities, town quay, town marina and a small yard in an inlet about 0.8nM north. The Actium side is where you will find the 3 large yards that accommodate hundreds of wintering yachts. From N to S these are Aktio Marina, Preveza Marine and Cleopatra Marina. Therefore Preveza Marine is actually in Aktium not Preveza!
