Hi Sara

There are no direct ferries, but you might find a direct flight with Olympic - I think they fly three times per week.

If you could take a hire car off the island of Corfu (some hirers will allow this for an extra charge) you could take the ferry to Igoumenitsa, drive down to Lefkas and then get another ferry from Vassiliki (south coast of Lefkas) to Fiscado

I thought there might be problems when I started looking for ferries/flights. And it seemed such a good idea. I was initially worried about Greece this year, for the obvious reasons, but if we all did this they will never get out of the financial difficlties, and I reckon we will be very welcome visitors.

So next plan is where. Will definitely be Nissaki, but a weeks is enough. Will give Paxos a miss, to try somwhere else, and Lefkada or Kepahlonia seemed obvious choices, but too hard work and expensive to go from Ionian islands to Athens and back. Same with driving -
drive all the time at home so don't usually do hire care on holiday. Went to Parga one year and liked it (via Paxos and back by Bus and Igoumenitsa ferry.) Anywhere else down that coast worth visiting? Anyone with bright ideas for stage two would be very welcome. Just somewhere quiet but walking to tavernas, beach etc and pretty - not too busy or touristy. Thanks!

PS whatever has happened to the forum since I last visited?

My daughter and her friend travelled from Kephalonia to Corfu last summer; ferry from Fiskardo to southern tip of Lefkas (runs 3-4 times/day, about 1 h), from there the local bus to Lefkas town, about 1 h (stay over night). Local bus from  Lefkas town to Preveza airport (about 1 h, frequent timetable), then local bus from Preveza airport to Parga (frequent timetable), about 1 h (stay over night in Parga). Next day boat to Paxos, then from Paxos to Corfu with the hydrofoil. Information and timetables can be found in "The Rough Guide to the Ionian Islands". The journey takes a couple of days but you will have the pleasure of seeing the Ionian islands on the way! The girls had no problem in finding hotel rooms on the day.

Roger, there is another thread running on the ferry service.
