Bus

You can give the bus driver cash in euros as payment for the bus ride. Ask the driver to call out your stop when you need to get off.  


Buses run from most cities to Zakynthos town. The website with times and stops: www.ktel-zakynthos.gr 

The easiest thing for visitors is to find the nearest stop and take a picture of the departure times there. Times may be different Saturday-Sunday and fewer/no buses. Cash payment on the bus is 1.6 euros per person. 

There is also a free bus to Banana Beach during high season

Taxi

You can request a taxi from the front desk of your accommodation or restaurant. You may also wait for a taxi at the taxi rank. 


Before you get in the taxi, you must inform the driver of your direction. Ask the taxi driver to activate the Taximeter, and when you reach your destination, you pay the amount of the ride which is indicated on the screen. Additionally, you and the taxi driver can agree on an amount to pay before getting in the taxi. You can pay with cash. If you need a receipt, remember to ask the driver if it is possible to get it, before the ride starts. The driver often needs to be paid in cash.
