Dionysios Solomos Airport in Zakynthos, named after the poet of the Greek national anthem, who was born on the island, lies a few kilometres south of the island's capital, near Laganas Bay. To protect the loggerhead turtles that nest on the nearby beaches, night flights are restricted during the nesting season. In summer the airport receives many charter flights.

- Transfers arranged by tour operators and hotels.
- Hire car: useful for seeing Navagio beach from the viewpoints and visiting inland villages.
Practical tips
- Documents: EU citizens only need a valid identity card or passport.
- Islands in summer: island airports are small and very crowded on peak days; arrive well ahead of your return flight.
- Domestic flights: Aegean, Olympic and Sky Express link Athens and Thessaloniki with dozens of islands; alternatively there are the ferries.
- Taxis: ask the price before getting in or check that the meter is running; on the islands it is best to book.
