We should also count the thousands of tourists who arrived to Zakynthos on ships from Italy, as well as vehicles from the countries of the Balkans and central Europe. Zakynthos for the first time in the history of the island’s tourism, appears to go well beyond the limit of 500,000 visitors, something that has been a goal of the islands tourism agents for years.
An important tool that contributed very much to the rise in the number of tourist arrivals to the island of  Zakynthos, are the independent low cost flights, that make it easier for the tourists to visit the Greek islands from all parts of Europe.
