Preveza ((ギリシア語:Πρέβεζα)) is a town in the region of Epirus, northwestern Greece, located at the mouth of the Ambracian Gulf. It is the capital of the regional unit of Preveza, which is part of the region of Epirus. The Aktio-Preveza Immersed Tunnel, the first and so far only undersea tunnel in Greece, was completed in 2002 and connects Preveza to Aktio in western Acarnania in the region of Aetolia-Acarnania. The ruins of the ancient city of Nicopolis lie north of the city. == Origin of the name == The name ''Πρέβεζα Preveza'' is of uncertain etymology. There are three hypotheses about its origin: * from the old Slavic word ''prevoz'' meaning "crossing, passage" (Diogenes Charitonos and Fyodor Uspeski);〔Petros Fourikis: "Nikopolis Preveza" first edition, Athens 1930〕 or * from the old Albanian word ''prevëzë-za'', meaning transportation (Petros Fourikis and Konstantinos Amantos);〔 or * from the Latin word ''prevesione'', meaning sustenance (victuals) (Max Vasmer, Peter Schustall, Johannes Conter).〔Harry Gouvas: "History of Preveza Prefecture", edition 2009, ISBN 978-960-87328-2-7〕〔Max Vasmer: "Die Slaven in Griechenland", 1970 (reprint), p. 64 "Preveza"〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Preveza」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
