We fly from London to Zante between April and September and the peak season runs from June to August, so it may be cheaper to fly outside of these busy summer months. To find the cheapest flights to Zante, search our low fare finder.

Zante is a very affordable destination, with lower prices on food, drink and accommodation than on many of its neighbouring islands. Choose a lively resort holiday or immerse yourself in traditional Greek culture in Zante Town and travel to small mountain villages – the choice is yours.

Zakynthos International Airport (ZTH) is a short distance from the island’s main town of Zante. Book a private transfer or airport shuttle to your hotel or take a bus to the city centre from outside the airport. If you prefer, there are metered taxis outside the airport 24 hours a day, and a journey to Zante Town takes about 10 to 15 minutes.

You can also hire a car with British Airways if you want to see more of what Zante has to offer. You’ll receive great benefits, with all mandatory charges included and 24-hour customer support, plus you’ll collect Avios points on every rental.

Zante, known as Zakynthos in Greece, is known for its spectacular natural scenery, from lush, rolling hillsides covered in wildflowers to beautiful beaches with turquoise waters. Home to Smuggler’s Cove –one of the most famous and photographed beaches in Greece – you can also find olive groves, lemon trees and secret hidden lagoons if you go beyond the tourist trail. Whether you’re looking to spot loggerhead turtles on Laganas Beach, immerse yourself in Greek culture or enjoy the exciting nightlife scene, the Ionian Island has a lot to offer.

You can book a hand baggage-only ticket or make the most of our generous baggage allowance. If you choose economy standard or one of our British Airways Holidays’ packages, each passenger can check in a bag weighing up to 23kg – in addition to a handbag, laptop case or other small bag.

If you travel to Greece with a valid British passport and stay for less than 90 days, a visa is not required. If you’re from a country outside the EU, you may need to apply for a visa in advance of your trip. You can find out more about visa requirements for all the countries we fly to at the IATA Travel Centre.
