      FAQs

      What is the best month to go to Zakynthos? ›

      Zakynthos: When to Go

      The mid-season months of June and September are our favourites; warm weather, and touristy sites like Shipwreck Beach are less crowded. July and August are high season – hot and busy, but you can always cool off with a boat trip.

      Is the sea warm in Zakynthos? ›

      You'll find sweet relief from the intense heat of Zante's summer from May to June, with sea temperatures of between 23-25°c. The sea heats up later in the season and can feel like swimming in a warm bath, with temperatures hitting a peak of 26°c in August.

      How hot is Zakynthos in June? ›

      Average daily temperatures

      The average daily maximum is 30 C and the average daily minimum is 17 C.

      How cold does Zakynthos get? ›

      The temperature in Zakynthos during the low season is around 15°C-17°C in spring and winter and around 20°C in late autumn.

      Is Zakynthos cheap or expensive? ›

      It is not very expensive, especially when compared to some Aegean islands like Mykonos, Santorini and Milos. You can find cheap and good accomodation, some restaurants with very logical prices (Malannos in Argassi comes to mind). Just don't be reluctant to explore, go off the beaten path and just ask the locals.

      Which is better, Santorini or Zakynthos? ›

      Santorini has the classic and very iconic blue domes with incredible sunsets, while Zakynthos offers more affordable accommodations with equally impressive ocean views and far less tourists.

      Can you drink tap water in Zakynthos? ›
