I learned a lot about the Agios Nikolaos to Pesada ferry service on this forum, but there are still some vague spots. I would be very grateful if someone could fill in the blanks:

- AFAIK the only way to buy the tickets in advance is to visit the XIONIS TOURS travel agency in Zakynthos town.

Am I correct? Are they really open from 7:00 to 23:30 (like their Google Places page states)?

- If the service gets canceled due to bad weather, when and how do they announce it? If I call them in the evening, will they be able to tell me if next morning's service is canceled?

Only if you've got prior permission from your rental company & paidany extra insurance premium required.

I am looking at the same trip and trying to work out how to get the tickets.

I have found that there are several travel agencies which sell this ticket, however it seems that there is no online option to buy it.

http://www.ionianseaferries.gr/en/sale-pointsprices

Not certain but I think the only way to get tickets early is to phone or call in to one of the agencies. The day before should be early enough.

Hi there, I have the same query, did you get an answer? We will just be foot passengers so really just need to know if you can buy tickets on the ferry when you arrive or you need to book in advance. As you say there only seems to be one place on Zakynthos, the Xionis tours company you mention, but a travel agent on Kefalonia says you can order tickets through them and they'll have them waiting for you on the ferry. It seems too complicated, hopefully you can just buy on the ferry.

This is an opportunity to discover the beauty of this paradise island.

Starting from your accommodation we head for the first stop of Bochali.  A small village above Zante Town.  A perfect photo opportunity with spectacular views over the city and the coast of the Peloponnese.

We leave Bohali village and make our way to the Northeast of Zakynthos, stoping at Xigia beach and Makris Gialos, two amazing places ideal backgrounds for your photos. After that, we arrive at Agios Nikolaos Port.  A picturesque port village where we stop to take you visit the spectacular Blue Caves via a glass bottom boat.  The name Blue Caves comes from the clear blue waters inside the cave, making all objects including people swimming appear blue.

The next point of call is probably one of the most favourites.  We visit Shipwreck beach, the most famous beach on Zakynthos, by the same glass bottom boat.  On our stop there, we spend one hour to have your swimming, relax and enjoy this floating paradise.

Coming back from our boat trip, we continue on to one of the most photographed viewpoints not only in Zakynthos but the World, Navagio – the famous Shipwreck but this time from above. Walk onto the platform and let your breath be taken away by the magnificent view of this amazing beach.

From here we travel to the western part of the island, up into the mountains to the traditional villages here on the island.  Kiliomeno, Agios Leon, Maries and not forgetting Exo Hora, where you will be fascinated by the oldest olive tree of more than 2000yrs old. Later stopping at olive oil factory house where you have the chance to try the extra virgin olive oil, and watch the whole production.

Nestled in the enchanting Ionian Sea, the captivating island of Zante, also known as Zakynthos, is a holiday haven for beach lovers and party enthusiasts seeking the perfect escape.

Rich in fertility and nobility, Zante was once hailed as the “Flower of the East” by the Venetians who recognised the island as the jewel of their empire. Its stunning landscapes, iconic attractions, and vibrant atmosphere make it an unforgettable destination for travellers from across the globe.

One of Zante’s most remarkable features is its breathtaking coastline graced with pristine white-sand beaches and crystal-clear waters.

The famous Navagio Beach, or Shipwreck Beach, is the epitome of this beauty, showcasing a dramatic cliff backdrop and a mysterious shipwreck at its heart.

Besides its mesmerising beaches, the island is also home to diverse wildlife, such as the endangered sea turtles known as Caretta caretta, which can be spotted on the island during their nesting season.

With just a week of exploration, you can cover all the major attractions and hidden gems – ensuring an unforgettable and fun-filled holiday on this sun-kissed paradise.

Getting to Zante

Zante, also known as Zakynthos, is a popular holiday destination in Greece. To help you plan your trip, this guide provides information on how to get to Zante by air and sea.

Best Time to Visit

Zante, or Zakynthos, is located in the Ionian Sea, and its Mediterranean climate makes it a great holiday destination throughout the year. However, the best time to visit would be between May and September, as the weather is warm and sunny, with temperatures usually ranging between 16°C and 30°C.

During May, the island starts to warm up as the summer season begins, with temperatures averaging around 20°C. June, July, and August are considered as the hottest months, with the average temperature reaching around 25°C to 30°C. September is still warm with temperatures averaging about 24°C, yet the weather might be more pleasant as the humidity starts to decrease.

Shipwreck Beach

Also known as Navagio Beach, Shipwreck Beach is one of the most famous and picturesque beaches in Greece. Hidden in Smuggler’s Cove on the island’s west coast, this beach is home to an old shipwreck that adds an air of mystery to the scenic landscape. Surrounded by dramatic cliffs and featuring electrifying blue waters, this beach is a must-see for any visitor.

To access Shipwreck Beach, you’ll need to take a boat trip, as it’s not reachable by land. Several tour companies offer excursions to this iconic spot, making sure you’ll have a memorable experience.

The Blue Caves are a natural wonder located on the northern tip of Zante. Known for their mesmerising bright blue waters and unique rock formations, the Blue Caves are perfect for exploring by boat. Many boat trips depart from nearby ports, allowing you to admire the caves from the water or even enjoy a refreshing swim.

When visiting the Blue Caves, make sure to bring your camera to capture the incredible colours and fascinating geological features. The best time to visit is in the morning when the sunlight enhances the vibrant blue hues of the water.

Turtle Spotting

Zante is home to the endangered loggerhead sea turtles, also known as Caretta caretta. These magnificent creatures can be spotted nesting on the island’s pristine beaches, particularly on Laganas Beach in the south. To protect their delicate ecosystem, certain areas are designated as National Marine Parks, and visitors are encouraged to respect these conservation efforts.

If you’re interested in getting up close with these gentle giants, several eco-friendly turtle spotting tours depart from Laganas and Keri, providing a responsible and enlightening experience for all ages.

When visiting Zante, it is important to immerse yourself in the local customs and etiquette of this beautiful Greek island. There are a few key aspects to consider that will make your trip more enjoyable and help you gain a better understanding of the local culture.

Firstly, Greek people are known for their hospitality, and this is no exception in Zante. Locals are welcoming and will often go out of their way to make tourists feel at home. When entering a shop or cafe, it is polite to greet the staff with a friendly “Yassas” (hello).

Dress code is generally relaxed on the island, however, when visiting religious sites such as churches and monasteries, it is important to be respectful and cover your shoulders and knees. In addition, it is polite to remove your hat when inside a church.

When it comes to dining in Zante, it is customary for meals to be shared among the table. You may notice that utensils are not always provided, as it is common to eat with your hands, particularly when enjoying traditional Greek dishes like souvlaki and gyro. Tipping is appreciated, and you can leave around 10% of the bill if you are satisfied with the service provided.

If you are lucky enough to be invited to a local’s home, it is important to be punctual and bring a small token of appreciation, such as a bottle of wine or chocolates. Additionally, remember to praise the food, as Greek cuisine is a point of pride for the locals.

Finally, when visiting Zante, it is essential to respect the environment and the island’s natural beauty. Try to minimise your waste and avoid disturbing the local sea turtles that breed in the island’s enchanting azure waters.

Following these etiquette tips while visiting Zante will not only make your trip more enjoyable, but also help foster a deeper connection with the island’s culture and people.

Safety Tips

Visiting Zante is an exciting experience, but it’s essential to prioritise safety while exploring this beautiful Greek island. Here are some safety tips to ensure a worry-free holiday:

• Beware of jellyfish on the beaches, particularly around Laganas Beach. The purple jellyfish in this area can cause painful stings and leave scars if touched. Always pay attention to your surroundings when swimming or walking near the water.
• During the peak summer months, temperatures in Zante can soar above 30°C, making it crucial to stay hydrated and protect yourself from the sun. Wear sunscreen, sunglasses, and a hat, and take breaks in the shade whenever possible.
• Keep in mind that a northerly wind called the ‘meltemia’ can be present during the afternoons, helping to cool things down. However, strong gusts can be hazardous to those on boats, so be cautious.
• On the subject of transportation, avoid using quad bikes as they can be unsafe, particularly for inexperienced riders. Instead, consider renting a car, scooter, or bicycle, but do ensure to follow local traffic laws and wear necessary safety gear such as helmets.
• Zante is known for its vibrant nightlife, and while it’s great to have fun, remember to drink responsibly and never leave drinks unattended. Stick to well-lit areas and travel with a buddy or in groups when exploring the island at night.

Following these simple safety tips will allow you to make the most of your time on Zante, creating cherished memories while staying safe and sound.

Leaving Zante

When planning your departure from Zante, it’s important to be well-prepared and have all your belongings sorted. Make sure you’ve double-checked your accommodation for any forgotten items, and have packed souvenirs you may have purchased during your stay on the island.

It’s recommended to visit local shops for last-minute gifts, or even something to remember Zante by. There are numerous shops around Zante Town, where you can find local products like olive oil, honey, and handmade crafts. Don’t forget to also try some local delicacies like mandolato, a delicious nougat with almonds, before leaving the island.

As you make your way to the airport, ensure you have booked your transportation in advance to avoid any last-minute hassles. Taxis and airport shuttles are available and can be pre-booked for a smooth and stress-free journey. If you rented a car during your stay, be sure to return it in a timely manner to avoid any additional charges.

At the Zakynthos International Airport, allow yourself ample time for check-in, security checks, and potential delays. The airport can get busy during peak tourist season, so arriving at least two hours before your flight is advisable. While waiting for your flight, you can take advantage of the facilities available at the airport, including shops, restaurants, and a small lounge area.

As you board your flight, take the time to reminisce about your Zante holiday and the wonderful memories made. We hope you enjoyed your stay on this magical island and will keep that experience alive by sharing your favourite moments with friends and family. Until we meet again, safe travels home!

Frquently asked questions for the Ionian Islands

Can i get an e-ticket for ferries in the ionian, which companies sail to the ionian islands, where can i collect my tickets.

If you go to a non central agency may have to pay a small fee to get your ticket - normally a couple of Euros.

What do I need to print my tickets?

How much do corfu to bari tickets cost, what islands in the ionian are best for families, when is the best time to visit ionian islands, can i take my dog or cat with me.

Yes, you can take your dog or other pet on the ferry but it isn't possible to book a space in the kennel in advance. All Greek ships by law must have some kennel space.

If you are travelling on conventional ferry (not a fast ferry or catamaran) there is normally space available in the kennels and you should also be able to have your dog on all deck areas (but not inside) with you. Strictly speaking, this at the discretion of the ferry company but in general you should have no issues - though please take a muzzle with you just in case and keep your dog on a leash at all times. Small sized dogs and cats can travel in the ship as long as they stay inside a special travel box.

The other option, for absolute peace of mind, is to book a pet cabin. These are like normal cabins but have linoleum flooring. They are also available for day crossings at reasonable prices. This way you don't have to worry about finding space in the kennels and you and your dog or cat can relax. In July and August ferries can get very busy with people and other dogs.

Fast ferries and catamarans will also have kennels but these will be limited in number. In addition, the majority of fast ferries (though there are exceptions) don't have open deck space accessible throughout the journey, so you will not be able to stay out with your pet during your crossing. However, if your pet is small and inside a travel box you will be able to keep him or her inside.

Which island in the Ionian are best for young people?

Can i pay by paypal or debit card, how to find a cheap ticket.

• FOR TRAVELLERS

I learned a lot about the Agios Nikolaos to Pesada ferry service on this forum, but there are still some vague spots. I would be very grateful if someone could fill in the blanks:

- AFAIK the only way to buy the tickets in advance is to visit the XIONIS TOURS travel agency in Zakynthos town.

Am I correct? Are they really open from 7:00 to 23:30 (like their Google Places page states)?

- If the service gets canceled due to bad weather, when and how do they announce it? If I call them in the evening, will they be able to tell me if next morning's service is canceled?

Only if you've got prior permission from your rental company & paidany extra insurance premium required.

I am looking at the same trip and trying to work out how to get the tickets.

I have found that there are several travel agencies which sell this ticket, however it seems that there is no online option to buy it.

http://www.ionianseaferries.gr/en/sale-pointsprices

Not certain but I think the only way to get tickets early is to phone or call in to one of the agencies. The day before should be early enough.

Hi there, I have the same query, did you get an answer? We will just be foot passengers so really just need to know if you can buy tickets on the ferry when you arrive or you need to book in advance. As you say there only seems to be one place on Zakynthos, the Xionis tours company you mention, but a travel agent on Kefalonia says you can order tickets through them and they'll have them waiting for you on the ferry. It seems too complicated, hopefully you can just buy on the ferry.

Ξεκινούν σήμερα 20/5 τα δρομολόγια Αγ. Νικόλαος Βολιμών – Πεσσάδα Κεφαλονιάς

Ο Κίμωνας Σωτηρόπουλος, ναυτικός πράκτορας της «Xionis Tours», δήλωσε στην ΗΜΕΡΑ: «Και φέτος, όπως και κάθε χρόνο, ξεκινάμε τα δρομολόγια στη γραμμή με το φέρι μποτ «Ιάσων». Η κίνηση αναμένεται αυξημένη. Το πρακτορείο μας βρίσκεται στη Λομβάρδου 8 και θα εξυπηρετήσει όλους τους ενδιαφερόμενους που θέλουν να πάνε στην Κεφαλονιά, στην Ιθάκη και στα υπόλοιπα νησιά. Τα τελευταία χρόνια διατηρούμε τις ίδιες ώρες στα δρομολόγια ώστε να εξυπηρετούνται όσοι κάνουν οργανωμένες εκδρομές που ξεκινούν από Ζάκυνθο, ώστε να έχουν στη διάθεσή τους κάποιες ώρες να περιηγηθούν στην Κεφαλονιά. Όσοι ενδιαφέρονται να ταξιδέψουν, τουλάχιστον 1-2 μέρες πριν, να επικοινωνούν με το γραφείο μας, το οποίο είναι ανοιχτό κάθε μέρα από το πρωί μέχρι το βράδυ, για να κάνουν κράτηση, να πάρουν το εισιτήριο τους και να τους εξυπηρετήσουμε για ό,τι χρειάζονται». Τον Γενάρη έφυγε από τη ζωή ο Κώστας Χιώνης, ο ιδρυτής του γραφείου «Xionis Tours», ωστόσο όλα όσα έχτισε θα μείνουν εκεί χάρη στους δικούς του ανθρώπους που συνεχίζουν την προσπάθεια. «Είναι μια δύσκολη χρονιά για μας, γιατί λείπει ο ιδρυτής του γραφείου, ο Κώστας Χιώνης ο οποίος τα τελευταία 60 χρόνια ήταν επικεφαλής. Θα προσπαθήσουμε όσο μπορούμε να συνεχίσουμε το έργο του», δήλωσε ο κ. Σωτηρόπουλος στενός συγγενής του, οποίος μαζί με τα υπόλοιπα μέλη της οικογένειας συνεχίζουν τη λειτουργία του γραφείου.
