Camper Pickup at Aktion Airport (PVK): Your Gateway to West Greece
Everything you need to know about starting your road trip at Aktion National Airport โ from Preveza and Lefkada to the wider Ionian coast.
Aktion National Airport (IATA: PVK) sits right on the strait between Preveza and Lefkada โ which makes it one of the most convenient starting points for a campervan trip anywhere in Greece. Land, collect your van, and you can be parked by a beach within the hour.
Unlike Athens or Thessaloniki, PVK skips the long transfer drive entirely. Preveza, Lefkada, Parga and the wider Ionian coast are all within an hour's drive โ some considerably less.
Quick Facts
- Aktion Airport (PVK) sits directly across the strait from Preveza, connected by an undersea tunnel.
- Most Ionian coast destinations are 10โ60 minutes away by camper.
- Ideal for travelers flying in from the UK, Germany, the Netherlands and other European countries with seasonal PVK connections.
Why Start Your Road Trip Here
Most campervan rentals in Greece are based near Athens, which means hours of driving before your trip even begins. Aktion Airport puts you in the heart of West Greece from the moment you land.
We hand-build every van ourselves in nearby Agrinio, so your camper is prepared specifically for the roads you'll actually be driving โ narrow coastal lanes, mountain passes, and everything in between.
How Pickup Works
We meet you directly at Aktion Airport with your camper ready to go โ no shuttle to an off-site depot, no waiting around. Walk out of arrivals, and your home for the trip is right there.
- Full walkthrough of the van's systems โ kitchen, solar setup, water tanks โ before you drive off.
- All our campers are under 7.5m, so they comply with Greece's free parking regulations at almost every legal spot.
- Return the van at Aktion Airport at the end of your trip, in time for your flight.
