What is the best time to visit the Greek island of Zakynthos?

Flowering plants and a fantastic view of the surroundings and the village of Keri. This is the end point of a beautiful walk through nature. We have lunch at the harbor and then get into a boat that sails us around the island.

Zakynthos is actually beautiful all year round and worth a holiday. But I personally prefer spring to stay on the island. Why exactly?

Spring (especially the months of April and May) is an ideal season for a holiday to this island, because

1. The temperatures are mild and pleasant: In spring, the temperatures on Zakynthos range from 15°C to 25°C. This is perfect for people who want to avoid the hot summer temperatures, but still want to enjoy sunny and dry weather.

2. There are fewer tourists: Spring is outside the high season, so the island is less crowded. You can therefore enjoy the quiet beaches and more space to explore nature and culture without the hustle and bustle of the summer months.

3. Green and blooming nature: After the winter - when it often rains - the fields and hills of Zakynthos are lush green, with flowers in full bloom. This is the ideal time for nature walks, exploring the mountains and enjoying the colorful landscape.

4. Lower prices: Due to the fact that it is outside the peak season, prices for accommodation, food and activities are often lower in spring than in summer. This makes it a more affordable time to visit the island.

5. Perfect for outdoor activities: Whether you want to hike, cycle, sail or kayak, the mild spring climate is ideal for outdoor sports and activities. The island offers many opportunities for adventurous discoveries. You can organise this yourself, or you can ask us to develop a tailor-made trip for you with varied activities.

6. The start of the tourist season: In spring, local taverns and restaurants start to open their doors again after the winter months. You can enjoy the local cuisine and authentic atmosphere without the crowds of the high season.

7. Animals and birds: Zakynthos is known for its protected sea turtles (Caretta caretta), which start to migrate to the beaches of the island in spring. This is also a great time for wildlife watching.
