Route: Kyllini to Zakynthos: Average one-way cost per person travelling on foot in July: €9,5

Additionally, they have an agency in Zante town at Lomvardou Konstantinou 18. If you go to a non central agency you may have to pay a small fee to get your ticket - normally a couple of Euros.

We can also send your ticket to you by courier wherever you are, just choose this option when you book.

You can travel to Zakynthos from the mainland town of Kyllini.
  • On foot: Please arrive at least one hour before you travel
  • By car: Please arrive at least two hours before you travel and in July and August allow for traffic jams on your journey
  • Yes, you can take your dog or other pet on the ferry but it isn't possible to book a space in the kennel in advance. All Greek ships by law must have some kennel space.

    • On conventional ferries

      If you are travelling on conventional ferry (not a fast ferry or catamaran) there is normally space available in the kennels and you should also be able to have your dog on all deck areas (but not inside) with you. Strictly speaking, this at the discretion of the ferry company but in general you should have no issues - though please take a muzzle with you just in case and keep your dog on a leash at all times. Small sized dogs and cats can travel in the ship as long as they stay inside a special travel box.

      The other option, for absolute peace of mind, is to book a pet cabin. These are like normal cabins but have linoleum flooring. They are also available for day crossings at reasonable prices. This way you don't have to worry about finding space in the kennels and you and your dog or cat can relax. In July and August ferries can get very busy with people and other dogs.

    • On fast ferries or catamarans

      Fast ferries and catamarans will also have kennels but these will be limited in number. In addition, the majority of fast ferries (though there are exceptions) don't have open deck space accessible throughout the journey, so you will not be able to stay out with your pet during your crossing. However, if your pet is small and inside a travel box you will be able to keep him or her inside.
