Yes, you can smoke at Zakynthos International “Dionysios Solomos” Airport (ZTH) — at the designated outdoor area outside the terminal building, landside, before security. The terminal interior is smoke-free from check-in through to the gates, so plan to smoke before you go inside, or once you clear arrivals.
Zakynthos (Zante) Airport is a single-terminal airport on the island’s east coast.
Before Security (Landside)
The designated smoking area is outside the terminal building, landside. There is no smoking permitted anywhere inside the building — check-in, the departure hall and the gates are all smoke-free.
After Security (Airside)
There is no smoking area of any kind past security at Zakynthos Airport. Reviews collected on airportsmokers.com, with reports dating from September 2024 and updated as recently as June 2026, consistently describe no smoking facility of any kind past security, whether the flight is within the Schengen area or international. A connecting passenger who wants to smoke has to leave the secure area to reach the outdoor smoking area outside the terminal, then clear security again before boarding the next flight.
Arrivals
After landing and clearing arrivals, the same outdoor area outside the terminal building is available for a cigarette.
Vaping
Greece’s 2019 anti-smoking law (Law 4633/2019) extends the indoor ban to e-cigarettes in enclosed public spaces, so vaping is not permitted inside the ZTH terminal. Use the outdoor area outside the building for vapes as well as cigarettes; heat-not-burn devices such as IQOS follow the same rule.
