The typical taxi fare from Zakynthos International Airport “Dionysios Solomos” (IATA: ZTH) to Zakynthos Town is €28 during the day and €33 at night under the regulated Greek tariff.  

Zakynthos Airport is 5 km far from Zakynthos town and takes around 35 minutes by taxi.  

Flights at Zakynthos Airport operate only between 05:00 and 22:00 so public buses run limited services, don’t stop at every destination, and often fill up in peak season.
