Rent a Car in Downtown Planos

Rent a car in Planos in the center of Zakynthos and move freely along the island's stunning coast and inland. Planos, also called Tsilivi, is located on the island's northeast side about 5 km from Zakynthos Town. With a car you can easily reach the island's most famous attractions without relying on expensive taxi rides.

Planos borders Tsilivi Beach and is one of the most popular resort areas on Zakynthos. From here it's only 15 km to Navagio Beach (Shipwreck Beach) at the island's northwest tip, and about 8 km to Zakynthos Town with its Venetian architecture and harbor. Drive to the Navagio viewpoint in northwest Zakynthos for the classic view from above – it takes about 25 minutes from Planos.

Visit Agios Nikolaos Harbor in the north, about 12 km away, from which ferries depart to Kefalonia. Take a trip south to Laganas Beach and the Caretta-caretta sea turtle nesting area, about 20 km from Planos. How far is it from Planos to Zakynthos Airport?

The airport is about 8 km south of Planos and takes about 15 minutes by car via Zakynthos Town. Are the roads on Zakynthos suitable for self-driving? Yes, the main roads are in good condition, but the narrower mountain roads toward the northwest require a bit more attention and a compact car is recommended.

Can I take the car with me on the ferry to Kefalonia? Yes, car ferries depart from Agios Nikolaos Harbor about 12 km from Planos to Pesada on Kefalonia, but book in advance during peak season.
