Just past security in T1, Hellenic Duty Free is your main stop for last‑minute Greek gifts.
This shop sits airside in Terminal 1 at Zakynthos International Airport, after security and before the gates, so you pass it on the way to all departures. It’s the primary duty free option at ZTH, and staff usually sync openings with the first morning flights and stay open through the last evening departures in summer. Off‑season, expect shorter hours, roughly aligned with the day’s charter schedule.
You’ll find Greek olive oil bottles, local wines, and ouzo lined up next to standard duty free brands. Typical 1L spirits run around standard EU duty free pricing, and wine from mainland Greece and the islands often comes with multi‑bottle promotions. If you forgot edible souvenirs in town, the packaged sweets section covers basic options: boxed baklava, loukoumi, and nut mixes you can throw straight into a carry‑on.
Beauty and tobacco follow the usual airport template: big fragrance names at slightly lower than city‑center prices, plus cartons of cigarettes behind the counter. Electronics and travel accessories stay pretty basic, with charging cables, travel adapters, and headphones priced at the usual airport markup. Don’t expect high‑end gadgets; this is more “I forgot a cable” than full tech store.
Check your airline’s liquids rules if you’re connecting beyond the EU, and keep your duty free receipt handy for secondary screenings. If your boarding pass says a bus gate, buy first, then head down; coming back up from the bus area to shop isn’t realistic once boarding starts.
