Traffic Information

Those arriving on the island by air can pick up their vehicle at our Zakynthos Airport (ZTH) car rental location. Also know as Dionysios Solomos, the airport is near the town of Kalamaki and the 3.3 mile drive to the center of Zakynthos takes just 12 minutes. Alternatively, pick up your vehicle at Zakynthos Port an easy to reach location from the town center and an ideal starting point if you want to explore the island's rugged northern coast. When you rent a car in Zakynthos you won't have to rely on local bus services which tend to be infrequent. There are only a few roads on the island so everywhere is relatively easy to reach.

Sixt Tips

Kakynthos Town is the island's largest town and the piazza and port are among its most popular places. The town lost many of its Venetian ruins during an earthquake but many have been beautifully restored and the piazza is said to look almost exactly like St. Mark's Square in Venice. You'll also find some of the best shops here so be sure to stock up on local crafts and leather goods. Zakynthos Town is an excellent base from which to explore local sights like the Blue Caves near Cape Skinari or the beach and marine reserve at Dafni.

Sightseeing Destinations

No vacation or trip to Zakynthos is complete unless you have seen Shipwreck Cove. The beautiful sheltered cove at Navagio is one of the island's most popular landmarks. Try to arrive early as the beach and the wreck itself can get busy. Fans of extreme sports can try base jumping from the surrounding cliffs.

Distance to Navagio

  • Zakynthos Airport: 23 miles, around 55 minutes
  • From Zakynthos Port: 21.5 miles, around 1 hour

Head for Vasilikos and Agios Nikolaos beach. Agios Nikolaos is considered the island's best beach and is ideal for water sports enthusiasts as well as sun worshipers. Try a jet ski, swim or dive in the clear blue waters or simply relax on the sand with a cool drink.

Distance to Vasilikos

  • From Zakynthos Airport: 10.6 miles, around 30 minutes
  • From Zakynthos Port: 8,6 miles, around 25 minutes
