Preveza - click to enlarge The Preveza port of entry lies on the Greek mainland guarding the Gulf of Amvrakia.  Leading lights will guide your way into this gulf. On the left side of the channel a dense forest and Fort St. George can be seen. Some guides mention a strong cross-current and the channel is not likely to live up to the 'official' depth of 8 meters - due to silting: 6 meters!
Beware of the current which will often be running through the buoyed channel (up to 3 knots!) and with a NW wind, this can create an unpleasant chop. Also watch out for the car ferries plying back and forth across the channel.  Shelter in the harbour itself is good. Moor stern-to on the west quay or alongside, just outside the basin. The mud of the bottom provides excellent holding..
