Best time to go to Zakynthos and how to get there

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. April, May and October are low season months – the weather is still sunny, but in April-May the sea is still quite cool for swimming. Many hotels, restaurants and bars are closed from November to April.
