If you decide to fly straight to Zakynthos Airport (usually a more expensive option), just rent a car directly at the airport. It’s the easiest way to start your trip without wasting time.

And honestly, having a car on the island isn’t optional, it’s essential. Zakynthos is bigger than people expect, and all the best spots are spread out. You’ll be driving to viewpoints, different beaches every day, and harbors where tours and boat rentals leave from.

Without a car, you’ll be limited. With a car, you actually experience the island.
