Car Rental in Zakynthos Town

Zakynthos Town (Zante Town) is the lively capital of the island, rebuilt after the 1953 earthquake in its original Venetian style. Its heart is Solomos Square, named after the national poet Dionysios Solomos, with arcaded streets full of shops, cafés and restaurants.

Do not miss the Church of Agios Dionysios, the island's patron saint, and the drive up to Bochali hill. From the old Venetian castle area and the cafés at the top, you get one of the best views over the town, the harbour and, on clear days, the Peloponnese coast.

Staying in town with a car gives you the best of both worlds: local life in the evening, and easy access to every part of the island during the day. The east coast resorts of Argassi and Tsilivi are 10 to 15 minutes away, the Vasilikos beaches about 25 minutes, and the famous north and west coast around 45 to 60 minutes.
