Zakynthos International Airport "Dionysios Solomos" (IATA: ZTH, ICAO: LGZA) is an airport in Zakynthos, Greece.

It is 4.3 km from Zakynthos town and close to other seaside tourist destinations such as Laganas, Tsilivi and Kalamaki. The main approach into the airport is Runway 34. Aircraft usually have to fly over Laganas bay and make a 180-degree turn, before their final approach over sunbathing tourists on the busy Kalamaki beach.

Kalamaki beach is part of the National Marine Park of Zakynthos. During the summer months, endangered loggerhead sea turtles lay their eggs at the marine park's beaches. This has resulted in aircraft movement restrictions: flights are not permitted to take off or land between 10:00PM to 5:00AM, except under extenuating circumstances.
