Travel Info
I went to zante about 2 years ago and the airport was terrible.I would love to go back,but not sure if the new airport has been built,and if it is any different fron 2 years ago.

Travel Tips
Yep, I was there September 2006. They have now built another arrivals hall and we took just half an hour to get our bags - (two conveyor belts) and get our car. No problems at all. The return is different - you do stand outside under cover, but was quite quick to get through. Standing only in departures, and 7-up is over 4 euros!!

The new arrivals area was opened in 2005 which has greatly improved the airport and has made the process of passengers collecting their luggage much quicker. A new departures area is also being built and it will open in 2007, but until it is finished departures can feel crowded, particularly if many flights are leaving close together. Night flights are banned on Zakynthos, so as not to disturb the endangered Caretta Caretta turtles which nest their eggs on the beaches of Zante.

Through the night flights being banned, it means that the hours for planes to arrive and depart are severely restricted; so often planes land in waves and this also plays a part in the congestion sometimes experienced. Both the arrivals and departures areas are fully air- conditioned and the departures area has a snack bar and duty free shop.

Hope this helps!
