An experience how to get from Athens, Greece to Zakynthos Island
An experience how to get from Athens, Greece to Zakynthos Island. Information such as car-rentals, drive times, dining, zante hotels and zakynthos accomodations, nightlife and boat rides to Navagio beach.
My Wife and I 1st saw the pictures of Shipwreck beach (Navagio) immediately fell in love and bought tickets to Athens.... We then found out that there is virtually no active information about what is actually a very remote and rural island trip. There is many online travel guides on Zakynthos like www.travelzakynthos.com and there are a lot of hotels where you can book a room!
This is not Athens on the mainland, this is Zakynthos.
The locals are all very very friendly unless they are driving and you are in front of them.
You can fly directly onto Zakynthos Island. This was over $3,000.00 USD from the US. We flew into Athens for under $1,000.00 USD. Your choice. There is a Rent a Car at both airports and we got a good deal on a Fiat Panda that we drove the hell out of for our trip.
If you fly directly into Zakynthos Island, this trip is much easier. If you fly into Athens, rent a car and drive West towards the the port town of Kyllini. Buy a fancy map of Greece and you can figure this out. There are
3 toll booths as you are leaving the Athens area and you'll pay about 3 euros each time. Stay on this road which steadily gets worse and wilder for about 4-4.5 hours and look CLOSELY for the sign that says
Kyllini. Turn right here and drive for 10 miles towards the giant ferry boats and good luck negotiating the wierd roads.
The ferry boats are HUGE and obvious. Look on the left as you approach the boats and there's a tiny building that says Ionian Ferries(tickets to Zakynthos). For 2 people and 1 small car it was 52 euros one way to the island. The ferry is about 1.5 hours to Zakynthos and there are is a full bar and cafe upstairs with very fancy lounges and lots of places to relax.
As you leave the ferry and drive into the Zante town, you will see signs that point all over the place. Look for the sign that says 'Alykes' and drive that way. The drive through this small town is VERY beautiful and
very sketchy, Fast drivers and tiny roads mixed with fantastic Sea views is risky/awesome. You will pass through the town of Alykes and start looking for signs that point towards 'St. Nicholas Port'. This is a very
pretty, very tiny village with cheap rooms, a coffee shop/bakery, tiny market, tiny gas station, several places to eat and many boats in a beautiful harbor. This would be a great place to start. Get a room, find a
boat Captain that runs trips to the "Shipwreck Beach".
5 miles from here is the Skinari Lighthouse. There is two Tavernas (restaraunts), small rooms for rent(slightly expensive) and the best boat tours to and from the beach all right there.
From either St. Nicholas Port or Skinari Lighthouse, the exit point is about a 15-20 minute drive. soon you should find the one of the most exotic exit points you will ever see rather easily.
My information is for the people who just want to go to Zakynthos and enjoy this wonderfull island!
Even with this info, expect a full on adventure with many possible perils both financially and bodily. For us it was worth every minute and every penny.
Please feel free to ask any questions to www.travelzakynthos.com.
Fancy maps and Google Earth will get you almost impossibly lost, maybe. Good Luck!!
Explore Zakynthos!!!
