Having returned the Preveza area after many years away from Greece, I would be grateful for info on cruising. Are there services (water/electricity) at harbour walls e.g. Prevezza, Gaios, Nidri, Vathi?
We have Irish passports and a UKI reg boat, what do we need to get from the authorities and where?
Any comment/info e
will be welcome.

Water and electricity on the quay wall in all the places you mention. Fuel by mini tanker

You’ll need to register and pay the monthly DEPKA cruising tax ( register online and pay at post office ) and you need to ensure your U.K. boat has proof it was in eu waters on or before 31 Dec 2021. Carry this proof on board as you are Eu citizens there’s no issue over how long you can stay

You must now have minimum third party insurance with environmental damage cover

Thanks for that, Goboatingnow, all useful. If Ipapadi gets to Lefkas, perhaps we can meet. Re the 'proof of location', try as I might, I was unable to get anything better than a standard letter from Cleopatra Marina (the recent purchasing location) confirming that a contract was in place straddling a period, within which was the 31st Dec 2020, but not quoting "2300 hrs UTR on 31st Dec 2020", the RYA recomendation. Do you know has this 'general' approach has been the norm, or has it differed, marina to marina? For our previous boat in Sicily the letter specified the date. Try as I might, this present marina will not move from their standard pro-forma document.

Consideration could be considered to re/registering in a Eu registry

It would be better that the transition date was specifically mentioned but what you have should be sufficient
