Notes
- Floating swing bridge at the northern entrance of the canal between the mainland and Lefkada; it swings open on the hour for 10 to 15 minutes, while road traffic stops.
- Summer (1 June to 15 September) at 08:00, 10:00, 14:00, 17:00, 19:00, 21:00 and 22:00; winter every two hours from 08:00 to 18:00 and at 22:00. The Lefkada port fund often changes the times (several times in 2026 because of works); check with Lefkas Marina on VHF 69 or +30 26450 22176 before departure.
- Dead slow in the canal; outside the buoyed channel it is shallow (under 2 m).
