What is the best month to visit Zante for good weather?

For a classic beach holiday, June and September are consistently the best bets. Both months offer long, sunny days with average highs around 28–30 °C and minimal rain, yet you avoid the peak July–August heat and inflated accommodation prices.

What should I pack for a Zante trip in different seasons?

From May to October, lightweight clothing, swimwear, a sun hat, and high-factor sunscreen are essential. A light jacket or wrap is useful for cooler evenings, especially in May and late September. If you’re visiting for the zante weather may shoulder season, pack a rain-proof layer just in case.
