Parking at Zakynthos Airport
The car park was rebuilt with the terminal and sits beside it, open-air and a minute from the doors. Zakynthos is an island of package holidays, so almost nobody drives themselves to the airport; the car park serves islanders flying to Athens, staff and the rental companies, and it has space in every month but August.
The plain behind Laganas Bay is hot and shadeless in summer; a sunshade is worth leaving in the car.

Drop-off and pick-up
On Saturdays and Tuesdays the forecourt belongs to the transfer coaches; private cars stop briefly and move on. To meet a flight, use the car park’s free first 10 minutes and the arrivals hall. The evening UK arrivals into Zakynthos are the ones that run late; the live arrivals board here will tell you whether to leave yet.
Alternatives in Kalamaki
Private airport parking barely exists on Zakynthos because the demand is tiny; a couple of fenced lots in Kalamaki serve islanders for a week or two, and the rental companies keep their own yards for customers. The airport has no involvement in private services.
Frequently asked questions
Where can I park at Zakynthos Airport?
In the open-air car park beside the terminal, from about €3 an hour or €10 a day, first 10 minutes free. It is used mainly by islanders and rarely full.
Can I wait outside the terminal for an arriving flight?
Only briefly; on changeover days the forecourt is full of coaches. Use the car park’s free first 10 minutes and check the live arrivals board before leaving home.
