The
Aktio–Preveza Undersea Tunnel is an
undersea road
tunnel across the mouth of the
Ambracian Gulf in western
Greece. It links
Epirus and the city of
Preveza on the north shore of the gulf with the cape of
Aktio (Actium) in
Aetolia-Acarnania, in
Central Greece. Completed in 2002, the tunnel is an important piece of infrastructure in a previously underdeveloped region, and greatly shortens the travel distance between the two sides of the gulf, which previously was only possible by ferry. It is the first and so far only
undersea tunnel in Greece.
