+ 1. Can you estimate the amount of gasoline we will spend?

Fuel consumption depends on the distance you cover, the speed you travel, and the number of people on board. On average, the cost ranges from €40 to €90 for a full-day trip, depending on the route.

+ 2. How far can we drive?

You can reach the most popular destinations such as Shipwreck Beach, Blue Caves, Marathonisi (Turtle Island), Keri Caves, and Banana Beach.

+ 3. Can we cruise around the island?

No. For safety reasons, cruising around the whole island is not allowed. The west side of Zakynthos (from Shipwreck Beach to Mizithres) has no mobile signal, which means we cannot assist you in case of emergency.
