Igoumenitsa/Preveza

[ThereAndBack]

Hi everyone.

I am sure this has been asked before but I can't find the answer:

Can anyone tell me the times(s) of the bus from Igoumenitsa to Preveza, please? (I know, I should have made a note of it last time I was there ).

The KTEL site no longer seems to publish this info so any help is appreciated.

Thanks

Alan

Well found, thank you. Was there any indication of how recent/reliable this info is, please?

Talking on reliability..
Googled on KTEL, found offices, called and the numbers are 11:30 and 11:15 (12:00 on weekends).
(But I don't recall which is which...so go a quarter earlier to be on the safe side)
apologies

Thanks for going to such lengths to help me. That is the last piece in the 'Durham to Preveza problem' .

Again, many thanks.

According to the marina in Prev the bus leaves Igo at 14:00 and not the published 15:00. I'll tell you on the 28th when we catch it

All the Preveza locals recommended using a taxi or hiring a car, when I was looking at some friends joining me from Kerkyra.

So that's what I did!

Thanks for that. Perhaps it will be better if I tell you when I catch (or miss it) on 20th

I used the bus last year, albeit in the opposite direction (from Preveza) and the service was excellent. Just wish I had made a note of the b****y times .

Well just to add my two penneth. From talking to someone aho caught the bus from Igou recently it leaves around 2 o clock. From Preveza it leaves around 11 to go to Igou. You would have though with all the boats at Preveza we might have warranted more than 1 bus per day? sigh...

Juat had a text from Aktio Marine to say (as you said) the bus is at 14.00. Is that who your information came from?

I am beginning to think that one bus per day is good for Greece. (They are having a crisis you know )

 

[dukes4monny]

I blame GMT (Greek Maybe Time)

 

[JonJon]

Of course once you get to the bus station you have to get to the marina with your bags?

With a bit of luck we will get picked-up by Aktio. (If we ever get the bus, that is ). That's a whole new adventure; riding in their Land Rover.

Hey! Don't knock the landie! Without it we'd have to taxi or walk from the airport or bus stop. Sure its a bit 'rustic' but it beats shank's pony.

Advice from Vassa ( sp? ) at the desk is to phone them as you get on the bus at Igo. They then know when to meet you at the bus stop in Preveza.

Go via Athens . . . five buses a day, far more frequent flights

I'd 2nd that suggestion - cheaper, more convenient.

My analysis of travel to Preveza from UK Midlands, when I had the boat there, inevitably ended with that conclusion.

- cheaper, more convenient.

Not in my experience.

This week: Flight form Newcastle to Corfu - £47 (inc luggage), Ferry to Igoumenitsa - about 12 Euros, bus to Preveza - about 12 Euros. Total Newcastle to Preveza under £70 - and no 6 hour bus journey from Athens.

Just depends on what is available and how hard you look, I guess.
