Zakynthos Ferries
 
 
This page is devoted to postcards and photographs of ferries serving the Greek island of Zakynthos. Services to the island are run by a number of cooperating companies - a list of these companies is shown below. Below the table is a Fleet List of ships serving Zakynthos. Routes from Zakynthos are primarily to the Greek mainland at Killini. There are not many inter-island services, although numerous operators have tried. On my visit in August 2003, the Killini service was being operated jointly by the Dionisios Solomos of ANEZ, and the Ionis of Tyrogalas Lines. Also shown are a selection of local excursion boats.
