Near security in T1, Gregory’s is the quick caffeine stop
Gregory’s sits airside in Terminal 1 at Zakynthos International Airport, a few steps past security and check-in for all ZTH flights. It’s a straightforward Greek café setup: counter service, pastries in a glass case, and a bar for espresso drinks. You’ll see it on the way to the main departure lounge, so there’s no detour required from most gates in T1.
Coffee is the main play here, with standard espresso drinks, Greek coffee, and iced options like freddo espresso and freddo cappuccino priced in the mid-range for an airport in Greece. Expect to pay more than in town in Zakynthos, but less than at major hubs like ATH. Pastries and simple snacks sit in the €3–€6 bracket, depending on size and filling.
Food runs to basic bakery items and light bites: cheese and spinach pies, croissants, and packaged sandwiches that work for a quick pre-boarding snack on short-haul flights of 1–3 hours. Portions are sized for a hold-over rather than a full meal, so don’t bank on this if you need a proper sit-down lunch before an international connection through another airport.
Service is counter-only and generally moves at the pace of the queue, which builds fast in peak summer months when multiple departures leave within 60–90 minutes. Staff handle both takeaway cups and in-terminal consumption, so order everything in one go to save time. Cards are accepted alongside cash, which helps if you’re burning through leftover euros.
Practical tip: lines thin out between outbound waves, so if your flight from T1 boards around mid-morning, aim for Gregory’s 30–40 minutes before boarding starts to avoid the pre-flight rush.
