Periphery: Epirus
Preveza is a city capital of the synonymous prefectures of Greece. It is within the Epirus periphery. It is one of the prefectures that have no provinces. The city and the district has been planning a bridge which will connect traffic between Preveza and Thesprotia and Lefkada and western Aetolia in Aetoloacarnania because the ferry route is short. Preveza lies near the western part of the Ambracian Gulf. The population of the municipality was 19605 in 2001.
