How much does the ferry from Zakynthos to Kyllini cost?

The cost of the ferry from Zakynthos to Kyllini depends on the operator, the type of vessel, the date, whether you travel as a foot passenger or with a car, and the seat or cabin you choose. A conventional ferry is cheaper than a high-speed one; a summer Saturday costs more than a weekday in May; a car adds a vehicle fare; a cabin on an overnight sailing adds more. That is why Haqqi Tours does not print a price: we look up the live fares for your exact date and send the real cost by WhatsApp, with the options side by side.

Let us know for two or three sailings and we send the cost of each - fast boat and slow boat, morning and afternoon - so you can see the difference before you book the Zakynthos to Kyllini ferry.

Cheapest ferry ticket from Zakynthos to Kyllini: how to pay less

Getting the lowest fare on the ferry from Zakynthos to Kyllini is a matter of vessel, timing and flexibility. Here is how Haqqi Tours finds you a cheap ferry ticket:

  • Book the return with the outbound - open returns and round-trip fares are cheaper on many operators
  • Ask about children's, student and resident fares, and about vehicle offers outside high season
  • Choose the conventional ferry over the high-speed boat when time allows - it is cheaper, steadier and often more scenic
  • Book early for July, August, Easter and holiday weekends, when sailings sell out and fares rise
  • Travel on a weekday - Friday and Sunday sailings carry the highest fares
  • Let us know if your dates are flexible; moving by a day frequently changes the fare
