Zakynthos International Airport (ZTH) is about 3 km from Kalamaki — close enough to hear arriving planes. Flights operate from most major European cities during the summer season (May–October), with charter flights dominating. Year-round flights from Athens connect the island to the mainland.
From the airport to Kalamaki is a five-minute taxi ride. There are also seasonal buses from Zakynthos Town (about 10 km north), but for exploring the island independently a hire car or scooter is strongly recommended.
