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
.
