Lefkada is the only island in the Ionian Sea that is accessible by car from the mainland. Due to its short distance from the shore of Akarnania in Central Greece, the island is linked to the mainland with a 50-meter floating bridge. Therefore, getting there is easy if you have a car, and it saves on the ferry costs. There are different ways to drive to the island depending on where you are travelling from. From Athens to Lefkada is about a 5-hour drive (377 km – 234 mi). If you are heading to Lefkada from Northern Greece, the Balkans or Eastern Europe, then you will have to drive along the Egnatia Highway all the way to Ioannina and to Preveza before driving through the undersea tunnel in Aktion. Lefkada Town is 20 km from the tunnel exit.
