Kyllini Port (Peloponnese)

37° 56.1′ N · 21° 8.9′ E

The mainland ferry port facing Zakynthos, about 15 nm north-east of Zakynthos town, and the nearest Peloponnese harbour if you need to bail out, change crew or reach Patras and Olympia. Small-craft basins sit beside the ferry ramps, under the ruins of medieval Glarentza.

Practical

Coordinate is the small-craft basin mapped as a harbour on OpenStreetMap (seamark harbour category marina). Harbour entrance light Fl R 3s (E 3995.5, OpenStreetMap). It is first and foremost a busy ferry port: Levante Ferries run to Zakynthos (about 1½ hours, zanteisland.com) and there are ferries to Kefalonia (Wikipedia); berth well clear of the ferry ramps and the wash. No cruising-guide berthing data, depths or fees were found for visiting yachts: call the port authority before arriving. Port Authority (Limenarchio Kyllinis): tel +30 26230 92211; customs office (Telonio Kyllinis): tel +30 26230 92176 (both OpenStreetMap).

Kyllini is 28 km north-east of Zakynthos and 39 km north-west of Pyrgos (Wikipedia).
