Picking up your rental car at Zakynthos Airport
About Zakynthos Airport (ZTH)
Zakynthos Dionysios Solomos Airport (IATA: ZTH) is the main gateway to the island and handles a high volume of charter and scheduled flights from across Europe during the summer season. The airport operates from a single terminal with car rental desks located in the arrivals hall. Vehicle collection takes place in the rental car area directly outside the terminal building. The airport is compact and the process from landing to collecting your car is typically quick. During July and August the arrivals hall can be busy, so completing your rental paperwork online before arrival is recommended.
Getting on the road from Zakynthos Airport
The airport is located approximately 4 km south of Zakynthos Town, making it one of the most conveniently positioned airports in Greece relative to the main town. From the rental exit, the main road north leads into the town centre in under 10 minutes. For the resort areas of Laganas and Kalamaki, follow the road south from the airport perimeter. For the north of the island and the road to the Navagio viewpoint, pass through or around the town and follow the coastal road northward. The island is compact enough that most destinations are reachable within 45 minutes from the airport.
Why pick up at the airport rather than in the city
Given the airport’s proximity to Zakynthos Town, picking up at the airport is almost always the most practical choice. You can collect your car immediately after landing and head directly to your accommodation without arranging intermediate transport.
