Why Choose Our Zakynthos Airport to Zante Town Taxi Service?

A public bus does serve this corridor, but it requires a change and drops passengers at the bus station rather than at your specific hotel.

Other Transport Options from Zakynthos Airport to Zante Town
While several transportation alternatives exist for reaching Zante Town from Zakynthos Airport, each has limitations compared to a private transfer:
- KTEL Bus (Airport Route): KTEL Zakynthos operates a limited bus service connecting the airport area to Zakynthos Town bus station, with a small number of departures daily. The fare is approximately €2.00–2.50 per person and journey time to the town bus station is approximately 25–30 minutes. From the bus station, hotels in the town centre are within walking distance for most properties.
- Standard Taxi (Town Centre): Taxis from the rank outside Zakynthos Airport arrivals cost approximately €22–35 to Zante Town centre for the 18km journey. Taxis operate 24 hours at the airport. For the 20-minute journey with luggage, a taxi is excellent value for couples or families compared to the bus, and delivers directly to your hotel door.
- Car Rental: Car hire at Zakynthos Airport is useful for those who plan to tour the island during their stay. However, driving and parking in Zakynthos Town centre can be challenging in peak season — most visitors prefer to park near their hotel and explore the town on foot. Rates start from approximately €22–35 per day.
- Ferry Port Connection: Zante Town ferry port connects to Kyllini on the Peloponnese (approximately 1.5 hours) with multiple daily departures. If travelling onward by ferry after arriving at the airport, our private transfer takes you directly to the port. Allow at least 90 minutes between your flight landing and ferry departure.
Our private taxi from Zakynthos Airport to Zante Town eliminates these hassles with direct, comfortable, door-to-door service at a guaranteed fixed price.
About Zante Town
Zante Town (Zakynthos Town or Zakynthos City) is one of the most elegant and architecturally refined island capitals in Greece, rebuilt entirely after the devastating earthquake of 1953 in a harmonious neoclassical style that gives the town a distinctive grandeur unusual in a relatively small island city. The broad waterfront promenade facing the harbour, the imposing Church of Saint Dionysios (the patron saint of Zakynthos), the elegant central square of Agios Markos, and the hill-top Venetian castle overlooking the entire bay combine to create a town of genuine beauty and historical depth.
Zante Town's cultural richness is reflected in its outstanding museums — the Byzantine Museum houses an exceptional collection of post-Byzantine icons and religious art saved from churches across the island after the 1953 earthquake, while the Solomos Museum commemorates Dionysios Solomos, the poet who wrote the Greek national anthem and spent much of his life in Zakynthos. The town is a major ferry port with connections to the Peloponnese (Kyllini) and is also the main hub for ferries to Kefalonia and the other Ionian islands. The lively evening dining scene along the waterfront and in the old town streets makes Zante Town one of the most enjoyable island capitals in Greece.
Important Transfer Information
Post-Earthquake Architecture: The entire town was rebuilt after the catastrophic 1953 earthquake that destroyed most of Zakynthos. The uniform neoclassical reconstruction gives Zante Town a harmonious, elegant character. The Venetian castle hill above the town survived the earthquake and offers excellent panoramic views — a short taxi ride or steep walk from the centre.
Ferry Connections: Zante Town is the island's main ferry port with frequent services to Kyllini on the Peloponnese mainland, and seasonal connections to Kefalonia. If you are arriving at Zakynthos Airport to connect onward by ferry, our driver can take you directly to the port. Please specify your ferry details when booking.
Hotel Locations: Hotels in Zante Town are spread across the waterfront, the town centre and the area south toward Argassi. Please provide your exact hotel name and address when booking to ensure accurate delivery.
