Zakynthos transportation to Alykes beach

[rockjock75]

What is the best way to get from the the tender port to Alykes beach? I want to hang out at the beach and have lunch for the day and I do not want to rent a car.

Thanks in advance for your replies.

One option is to take the local Ktel bus.  

We took the bus to Laganas Beach but looking at the timetable pamplet I took home, it looks like it goes to Alykes beach too.   However, it is only for June 12 to July 2.  The URL on the pamphet is:  www.ktel-zakynthos.gr where you can see the latest timetable (note the different secion for local routes).  

 

On google maps, we tendered to "Zakynthos Marina".  The central bus station is a reasonable 15-20min walk.  You can locate it on Google Maps as "Central Bus Station KTEL".  

On the pamphlet, it says:

From Zakynthos

07.00, 10.00, 12.00, 15.00, 19.00

From Alykes

7.40, 10.40, 12.40, 15.40, 19.40

Except Sunday

Ticket price is 1.60e each way.  

 

Note:  At the bus station, there are separate areas to buy tickets for inter-island travel versus a different smaller window for local buses.  

There was a helpful guy at the local ticket booth that spoke English and gave us some ideas where to go, which was the correct bus, etc.  

 

Word of caution is to get to the bus stop early on the return trip because we missed our original bus that we planned to take back as it got to the stop early and didn't wait until the scheduled departure time.
