Other Transport Options from Zakynthos Airport to Alykes
While several transportation alternatives exist for reaching Alykes from Zakynthos Airport, each has limitations compared to a private transfer:
- KTEL Bus (via Zakynthos Town): KTEL Zakynthos operates limited bus services from Zakynthos Town to Alykes, with a small number of departures daily in summer. Tickets cost approximately €2.00–2.50 per person from the town. From the airport, a taxi to the town bus station is required first (€18–25). Total journey time from airport to Alykes by public transport exceeds 60–75 minutes.
- Airport Taxi to Zakynthos Town: Taking a taxi from the airport to Zakynthos Town (€18–25) and then connecting to a KTEL bus for the northern coast is possible but involves two vehicle changes and uncertainty around bus schedules. A direct private transfer from the airport to Alykes is more reliable and often only moderately more expensive when total costs are combined.
- Standard Taxi: Taxis from the rank outside Zakynthos Airport arrivals cost approximately €25–38 to Alykes for the 17km journey. Pre-booking during peak summer is advisable to guarantee prompt service. The metered fare may vary slightly depending on traffic and time of day.
- Car Rental: Car hire at Zakynthos Airport is a practical option for Alykes visitors who plan to explore the island — particularly the northern villages, Cape Skinari and the Navagio Beach viewpoint. Rates start from approximately €25–40 per day. Parking in Alykes is freely available along the beachfront road.
Our private taxi from Zakynthos Airport to Alykes eliminates these hassles with direct, comfortable, door-to-door service at a guaranteed fixed price.
About Alykes
Alykes is one of the largest and most developed resorts on Zakynthos's northern coast, offering a long sandy beach, a wide range of hotels and apartments, and a good selection of restaurants, bars and shops. The beach at Alykes is one of the finest on the island in terms of sand quality and water clarity, with the shallow northern bay providing calm, warm swimming conditions throughout the summer. The resort has a friendly, relaxed atmosphere popular with British, German and Dutch visitors, and the long beachfront promenade is busy with activity from morning to late evening.
Alykes takes its name from the ancient salt flats (alyki in Greek) that can still be seen as shallow lagoons behind the beach, today home to flamingos and other waterbirds during migration. The windmills visible on the headland above the resort are a local landmark, and the views northward along the coast from the windmill hill offer excellent panoramas of the bay and the outline of Kefalonia across the channel. The nearby Blue Caves at Cape Skinari — one of the most dramatic sea cave systems in the Ionian, where sunlight reflected through the water creates brilliant blue illumination inside the caves — are a must-visit excursion reachable by boat from the cape, just north of Alykes.
