Zante Weather
Generally speaking, the weather in Zante is amazing, which is why it is one of the most popular places for Brits to holiday. Below we have set out what the weather is like in each month in Zante, giving you a play-by-play of what you can expect on your holiday in Zante.
May
May is the very start of the season in Zante. If you go out any earlier, you are basically a local. The very first workers come out to Zante at the start of May in order to try and get jobs.
It’s not really a time for tourists to be coming out as most of the bars and clubs are still shut at this time. With that being said, you can get some really cheap deals if you aren’t too bothered about partying in the big clubs in May.
The weather in May is pleasant — you can expect highs of around 25°C and a few days of rain, but on the whole it’s a lot better than the UK!
June
June is when the main bars, clubs and events all start, and over the past few years it’s become extremely popular to come earlier and earlier in June due to cheaper flight and package prices.
The weather in June in Zante is pretty much perfect — not too hot, with a little breeze, highs of around 30°C and barely a cloud in the sky.
We would say mid-June is the ideal time to come to Zante weather-wise. With that and the cheap deals that are in place, it’s not hard to see why it’s becoming such a popular month in Zante.
July
July is always going to be the busiest month in Zante, and for good reason. The weather is scorching — you can expect highs of up to 35°C, sometimes even hotter, and you would be lucky to see any rain at all.
If there is any rain, it will usually pass in no time. With July being the busiest month in Zante, it also makes it the most expensive month for tourists.
Prices may be high for your holiday, but you are guaranteed clubs that are wall to wall and events that bring out the biggest acts, because it’s when venues can fit the most people in. So if you are looking for the most popular time to go with the best weather and aren’t too bothered about cost, July is your month.
August
August is a real mix of different nationalities. We tend to find it’s the main holiday season for Italians, who come in their thousands to Zante.
So the resort really does get split down the middle in something like a 50:50 split between Brits and other nationalities. With that being said, they do tend to stick to their own parties and clubs.
The weather in August is still pretty much as hot as it gets, especially in the first few weeks. Towards the end of August it starts to cool down a little, and there are also some amazing deals to be had later in the month for people looking for a last-minute escape from the UK.
September
September is pretty similar to May. The first week or so is when many of the closing parties for events take place, and it tends to be less busy than peak season.
The weather is still pretty good — cooler than in peak season, but still with highs of around 25°C and plenty of sunshine.
The upshot of travelling to Zante in September is definitely the price. You can get some amazingly cheap deals, but our top tip would be to make sure it’s in the first two weeks, as after that a lot of the best events are no longer running.
Top Tips
Sun Cream
Nobody wants to be burnt — it spoils your holiday. Honestly, don’t think you’re some sun god or goddess and try carrot oil. You will burn and look like a lobster for the rest of your holiday.
Please wear a suitable factor. It’s literally for your own good, without trying to sound like your parents.
H2O
Make sure you get plenty of water into you during the day, especially if you are going out every night. It will help, and if you do get sunstroke you are very likely ending up on a drip in the medical centre, which will massively eat into your holiday budget and waste a day of your trip.
