Zakynthos Airport taxi price
Zakynthos Airport taxis generally don’t use meters. Instead, they work with a list of set prices from and to popular tourist destinations. The price list is easily accessible: It can be found at the airport, inside the taxis, in hotels, and at popular tourist attractions. For less frequent destinations, a meter will be used to calculate the cost according to a set rate per km on top of a base fare.
The price list is based on up to 4 passengers in a standard vehicle. Of course, the final price will be higher if you choose a van or request an extra, like a child seat. It’s also worth noting that not all Zakynthos Airport taxis offer transfers in mini-vans. You may pay for two vehicles if you’re travelling as a group.
A 10-minute sedan or equivalent ride from Zakynthos Airport to the city centre costs €15, while a 15-minute ride to Laganas costs €20. The north-eastern seaside town of Alykes is a 35-minute taxi ride that costs €33.

How do I get from the airport to the hotel in Zakynthos?
Flights are not known for being restful. Factor in the heat, the need to carry luggage, and possibly children asking, “Are we there yet?” for the 100th time, and you’ll see why taking a taxi from Zakynthos Airport is probably your best option. Taxis are readily available, and the short distances make them affordable.
If you want to cut costs, you can take the KTEL bus, which stops outside the terminal. However, the bus doesn’t come very often, and you might have to wait a while. Also, the bus routes can be confusing if you don’t speak Greek.
