Zakynthos Solos Exclusive

Our exclusive property: Angela Studios, Alykanas, Zakynthos
- The Personal Touch: Our hosts and your Solos Tour Leader provide genuine Zakynthian hospitality and personalized attention that only a boutique property can offer. From local recommendations to the convenience of an on-site honesty bar for refreshing drinks, you'll feel right at home from the moment you arrive.
- The Perfect Base: Enjoy our private pool area, reserved exclusively for our group, where a lounge chair is always guaranteed.

There are no nonstop flights from the United States to Zakynthos, but the island is easy to reach with convenient connections through major European hubs. The fastest and most affordable itineraries usually connect through Athens or London, where frequent onward flights make layovers short—often just a couple of hours.
For East Coast travelers, total journey times average 12.5–15 hours. Multiple daily nonstop flights operate from New York (JFK and Newark) to Athens, served by airlines such as United, Emirates, Aegean, and Norse. With several carriers to choose from, it’s often possible to use frequent flyer miles and start your trip in comfort.
From the West Coast, you’ll find good options as well. Los Angeles (LAX) offers around nine direct flights per week to Athens, with flight times of just under 13 hours. With regular connections from Athens to Zakynthos, the total travel time typically falls between 15–17 hours.
When planning your trip, keep in mind that Zakynthos International Airport may also be listed as Zante Airport (ZTH).
With your trip, your airport transfer is included, so your arrival in Zakynthos is completely stress-free. After landing, you’ll be greeted at the airport and taken straight to your hotel in about 30 minutes. No navigating buses or negotiating with taxis—just a smooth ride that gets you checked in and ready to enjoy a refreshing swim or a relaxing drink by the pool in no time.
Whether you'd like us to arrange your flights or prefer to book your own, we're here to make the process easy. Our team can secure flights from the location that suits you best, or provide all the arrival and departure details you'll need if booking independently.
If you are taking part in an excursion which includes 4 x 4 off road drives, quad biking, motorcycling or snowmobiling you need to check your travel insurer will offer you adequate cover. You will also need to sign a waiver form.
Shortly before your holiday, you will be invited to join an optional WhatsApp group to connect with your fellow travellers and your Tour Leader.
We recommend that you check passport and visa requirements for the country you are visiting at the State Department if you have a U.S. Passport. Most countries require that your passport have at least six months validity when traveling internationally, and many require that you have one to two blank visa pages for either an entry stamp or visa. As a general rule, please check that your passport has six months validity beyond your planned trip, and if not, please renew your passport with plenty of time to provide Solos with your updated passport information by the final payment due date.
