Getting around Zante

Taxis are available throughout Zakynthos, with main ranks at the airport, port, and in busy resorts like Laganas and Tsilivi. They are a convenient option, but demand can be high, especially late at night.

For a guaranteed ride with a professional driver and a fixed price, a pre-booked transfer with Aegean Taxi is the most reliable choice. This is perfect for airport pickups or ensuring a safe ride back to your hotel after an evening out.

With a pre-booked service, you can avoid any uncertainty about availability or cost, making it the most stress-free way to navigate the island, particularly for longer journeys to different resorts.

Renting a car is the best way to have the freedom to fully explore the large and diverse island of Zante. A car is essential for reaching the famous Navagio (Shipwreck) Beach viewpoint on your own schedule.

Numerous rental agencies are available at the airport and in all major tourist towns. Having a vehicle allows you to discover the mountainous interior, traditional villages, and the quieter northern and western coastlines.

While a car is great for exploring, parking in busy resorts like Laganas can be challenging. For a hassle-free evening, a pre-booked ride from Aegean Taxi can be a more convenient option.

The public bus system (KTEL) is an affordable way to travel between the main towns and resorts. The central bus station is located in Zakynthos Town, serving as the hub for the entire island's network.

From this station, you can find frequent services to popular destinations like Laganas, Tsilivi, Alykes, and Kalamaki. It's a great option for budget-conscious travelers sticking to the main tourist areas.

The bus service is less frequent in the evenings and may not reach the more remote parts of the island. For more flexibility and door-to-door service, a private transfer from Aegean Taxi is a reliable alternative.

Renting a scooter or ATV is a very popular way to get around Zante, offering an easy way to find parking in busy resorts and a fun, adventurous way to explore the coastal roads.

Many rental shops can be found in every major town and resort, providing a wide range of vehicles. It’s a great option for couples or solo travelers looking for flexibility.

Riders should be experienced, as the island has a mix of busy highways and winding mountain roads. For a safer and more comfortable journey, especially after dark, a professional driver from Aegean Taxi is a better choice.

Exploring Zante's coastline by sea is an essential experience. The island is world-famous for its boat trips to the iconic Navagio (Shipwreck) Beach and the stunning Blue Caves.

These full-day or half-day excursions are the only way to access the shipwreck beach itself and are the most popular activity on the island. Tours depart from many locations, including Zakynthos Town harbor and Porto Vromi.

Additionally, smaller boats offer trips to see the endangered Caretta caretta sea turtles in Laganas Bay. For transport to these departure points, a service like Aegean Taxi is a convenient option.

Zakynthos Town, the island's capital, is a wonderful place to explore on foot. Its main square, Solomos Square, the long waterfront promenade, and the main shopping street of Alexander Roma are all pleasant, walkable areas.

One of the best walks is the gentle uphill stroll to the Bochali neighborhood, where you can find the ruins of the Venetian castle and enjoy breathtaking panoramic views over the town and harbor.

While the town is walkable, the island itself is large and requires transport. A pre-booked ride with Aegean Taxi is a great way to get to and from Zakynthos Town for a day of exploration.
