The bus from Zakynthos Town to Thessaloniki leaves from Zakynthos Town and arrives at Thessaloniki (Macedonia terminal). The departure point is the bus station at Iatrou Mothonaiou, Zakynthos 29100 — no numbered street address — phone numbers, hours and directions are on the station page.

The journey takes roughly 7 h 00 min — our estimate from the route’s length, as the operator does not publish a travel time.

KTEL Zakynthou (KTEL Zakynthos) sells tickets online — bookings are currently open for travel dates up to 31 October 2026. That is how far ahead the booking system sells, not when buses stop running.

Read this before using the times below. Part of this journey is by ferry, and the fare covers the bus only — the operator states the price does not include the crossing, so you buy the boat ticket separately.

Route map

The line joins the stops in order. It is not the road the bus takes — it is a straight chord between points, so treat it as sequence, not geometry. A hollow, dashed stop marker means the coordinate is a village centre rather than a surveyed bus bay; tap it to see where it came from.
