Zakynthos

Zakynthos Airport is midway between Kalamaki and Laganas. It is located about 4 km from the major holiday resorts such as Tsivili or Laganas. There is no public transport from the airport. You will find plenty of taxi companies outside the terminal, or you can book one in advance.

A regular bus service connects all the main resorts to Zakynthos Town, with buses running throughout the entire day and tickets sold on board. Car rental is widely available and perhaps the best option if you are planning a tour of the island. Scooters and motorcycles may also be hired, but inexperienced riders should take great care.

Taxis are plentiful, cheap and professional. Most taxi drivers speak English and taxis carry up to four passengers. The main taxi station is in the central square of Zakynthos Town. Taxis can be booked for a whole day for a tour of the island. You can either go to the main taxi station or book it online.

The main post office of the island is located at Georgiou Tertseti, in Zakynthos Town, where you will be able to buy postcards, stamps and mail letters. The post offices are run by the Greek company Elta and feature a blue sign on the outside.

There are several pharmacies in Zakynthos Town and at least one in most resorts. If you require medicine after midnight, a doctor must contact the pharmacy first. For the location of the nearest pharmacy, you should ask at your hotel.

Greece uses the Type F electrical plug with two round pins, same as in many countries in Continental Europe. The standard voltage is 230 volts, but some hotels have special plugs for 110 or 120-volt shavers.
