Zakynthos is a small island — even the furthest resort areas are under an hour from the airport. Prices are relatively consistent between taxis and pre-booked transfers, with the main advantage of transfers being guaranteed availability.

What affects the price
Night surcharge: Greek taxis apply a 20-30% surcharge between midnight and 5 AM. Pre-booked transfers may or may not include a late fee.
Vehicle size: The prices above are for standard sedan (up to 4 passengers). Minivans cost 10-20 EUR more and are worth it for larger families.
Season: Zakynthos prices are fairly fixed year-round. In peak July-August, transfer availability (not price) is the variable — book early.
Is there a cheap option?
There is no bus from the airport. The cheapest option after a taxi is a taxi to Zakynthos Town (10-15 EUR) and then a local bus, but local buses are infrequent and not practical with luggage. For budget travellers, sharing a taxi or transfer with other passengers heading in the same direction can reduce individual cost.
