Other Transport Options from Zakynthos Airport to Alykanas
While several transportation alternatives exist for reaching Alykanas from Zakynthos Airport, each has limitations compared to a private transfer:
- KTEL Bus (via Zakynthos Town): KTEL Zakynthos operates bus services from the central bus station in Zakynthos Town to the northern resorts including Alykanas, with a limited number of departures daily in summer. Tickets cost approximately €2.00–2.50 per person. From the airport, there is no direct bus — a taxi to the town bus station (€18–25) is required first. Total journey time from airport to Alykanas by this route exceeds 60–75 minutes.
- Airport Taxi to Zakynthos Town: Taking a taxi from the airport to Zakynthos Town bus station (€18–25, approximately 20 minutes) and then a KTEL bus northward to Alykanas is a two-stage option. The limited frequency of northern coast bus services makes timing this connection around flight arrivals unreliable. A direct private transfer is significantly more practical.
- Standard Taxi: Taxis from the rank outside Zakynthos Airport arrivals cost approximately €25–38 to Alykanas for the 17km journey. Taxis are available at the airport, though pre-booking during peak summer (July–August) is recommended to guarantee a vehicle is ready on your arrival.
- Car Rental: Car hire desks from local operators are available at Zakynthos Airport. Renting a car is useful for Alykanas visitors who plan to explore the northern coast, visit the Blue Caves, and drive to the hilltop villages. Rates start from approximately €25–40 per day. Parking in Alykanas is freely available near the beach.
Our private taxi from Zakynthos Airport to Alykanas eliminates these hassles with direct, comfortable, door-to-door service at a guaranteed fixed price.
About Alykanas
Alykanas is a small and genuinely relaxed resort on Zakynthos's northeastern coast, adjacent to the larger Alykes resort but with a quieter, more intimate character. The village has a beautiful sandy beach with clear, shallow water particularly well-suited to families with young children, and a small selection of tavernas, bars and shops that keep the atmosphere pleasantly understated. The name Alykanas refers to the ancient salt pans that once operated in this area — the remaining shallow lagoon behind the beach is today a nature reserve and important habitat for waterbirds.
The northern coast of Zakynthos around Alykanas offers some of the island's most attractive and least-developed scenery, with views across the channel toward the island of Kefalonia on clear days. The famous Blue Caves at Cape Skinari, one of the most spectacular sea cave systems in the Ionian, are just a short drive north of Alykanas and are best visited by boat excursion from the cape. The Venetian-era village of Volimes, perched in the hills above the northern coast, offers excellent local honey, nougat and woven goods at roadside stalls and is a popular excursion from the northern resorts.
Important Transfer Information
Adjacent to Alykes: Alykanas and Alykes are neighbouring resorts sharing the same bay. The boundary between them is informal — your hotel may be described as being in either village. Please provide your exact hotel name and address when booking so our driver delivers you accurately.
Salt Pan Nature Reserve: The shallow lagoon behind Alykanas beach is a protected nature area and an important flamingo habitat during migration seasons. The area is accessible on foot from the beach and is particularly rewarding for birdwatchers in spring and autumn.
Blue Caves Access: The Blue Caves at Cape Skinari are approximately 10km north of Alykanas. Boat trips depart from the cape throughout the day in summer — a short taxi ride from the resort. Our drivers can arrange drop-off and pickup for cave excursions on request.
