Rent a Car in Downtown Zakynthos

Zakynthos town is the island's administrative and cultural center with a beautiful Venetian character, located on the east coast. With 6 rental companies in the city center, you have good opportunities to find the right car to explore all corners of Zakynthos. From here you can reach all the island's icons—from Navagio to the turtle beaches in the south.

The city center with Solomos Square and the rebuilt Venetian church Agios Dionysios is located directly by the harbor. The airport is just 6 km south (approximately 10 minutes), and Laganas Beach with its sea turtle reserve is 12 km away and takes 20 minutes. Park by the harbor and stroll through the city center—the streets in the old town are narrow.

Rent a car for at least 3 days to have time for Navagio, Keri, and the Vassilikos Peninsula. Refuel at the gas station on the way out toward Laganas—cheaper than at the tourist resorts. What are the best car trips from Zakynthos town?
