Useful Information
CAR HIRE
Car hire is essential and should be arranged prior to arrival, for collection at the airport. There are a number of car hire companies located at the airport. We recommend taking out damage insurance as the Greek roads can be quite rough!
GETTING TO THE VILLA
From the airport, drive north in the direction of Volimes, along the coast road to the port of Agios Nikolaos.
Once you have left Zakynthos town, you will pick up the coast road. The drive to Agios Nikolaos is 40 minutes from the airport. At Agios Nickolaos, you will be met by our Manager, Nicoletta Nita. We advise calling her (see number at the front of this document) as you leave town to give her an idea of your timings.
From the port of Agios Nikolaos, Nicoletta will take you up to the villa, a 7 minute drive from the port, in the hills below the village of Volimes.
