Ferry: Kyllini Zakynthos

Levante Ferries operates the Kyllini–Zakynthos route. Its timetable page says the crossing runs daily, publishes schedules for every season of the year, and names the ships used on the line: Fior di Levante, Mare di Levante, Andreas Kalvos, Kefalonia and Smyrna di Levante. The ferries take foot passengers and vehicles.

The same company also links Kyllini with Poros on Kefalonia, and Patras with Kefalonia and Ithaca, so check that you pick the Zakynthos sailing when you book.

Who to contact

E-tickets and boarding

  • Book on the Levante site; the e-ticket arrives by email. Print it or keep it on your phone, then go straight to the ship with no ticket-office stop.
  • Every person, vehicle and leg is a separate ticket. Levante's own example: a return trip for 2 people and a car means 6 tickets to show.
  • Bring ID, a passport or a driving licence with the e-ticket.
  • Arrive early: the e-ticket page asks for 30 minutes before departure on busy days, and cars in the vehicle waiting area at least 30 minutes before. The terms of use ask passengers to be at the ship half an hour early and vehicles in the waiting area 1 hour early, so allow the longer time with a car.
  • Passengers with disabilities: tell the company at least 48 hours before you need assistance (terms of use).

Travelling with animals

Levante's terms say every animal needs its own ticket and its documents (health booklet, microchip ID, passport). Declare the animal when you book.

Times and fares: use Levante's own timetable and fares pages. We deliberately do not copy euro amounts or sailing clocks onto this site.
