Where is the Zakynthos cruise port?

Cruise ships anchor in the bay off Zakynthos Town and tender passengers to the town harbour, which also handles ferries and commercial traffic. The tender landing is on the waterfront, a few minutes' walk from Solomos Square. Tendering can take time on busy days, so note the last tender back to the ship.

About Zakynthos

Zakynthos, also called Zante, is one of the Ionian Islands off the west coast of Greece. Cruise ships anchor off Zakynthos Town and bring passengers ashore by tender to the harbour, a short walk from Solomos Square and the town's arcaded streets.

Above the town, the village of Bochali looks out over the harbour from beside a Venetian castle. Further afield, Laganas Bay is a protected loggerhead turtle nesting area in the National Marine Park, and on the north-west coast a clifftop viewpoint looks down on Navagio, the Shipwreck Bay.
