When to visit Zante
Spring, from April to June, marks a splendid time to explore Zante. The weather is pleasantly warm, and the island's landscapes burst with colorful blooms, creating a picturesque backdrop for nature enthusiasts and photographers. During this period, the tourist crowds are thinner, allowing for a more serene and authentic exploration of Zante's hidden gems.
Summer, spanning from July to August, is peak tourist season in Zante. The island comes alive with vibrant energy, offering visitors sun-soaked beaches, bustling markets, and lively festivals. The crystal-clear waters are perfect for swimming, snorkeling, and diving, making it a paradise for water enthusiasts. While the island buzzes with activity, it's worth noting that popular attractions may be busier, so planning ahead and booking accommodations and activities in advance is advisable.
For those seeking a more tranquil and relaxed experience, the autumn months of September and October present an appealing option. The weather remains pleasant, and the sea waters are still warm for swimming. During this time, you can relish in the serenity of the island, enjoying its natural beauty, historical sites, and local culture without the bustling crowds of summer. It's also a fantastic time for couples looking for a romantic getaway, as the atmosphere is quieter and more intimate.
Winter, from November to March, offers a unique perspective of Zante. While some tourist services may have reduced hours, this is an excellent period for budget travelers who wish to explore the island's authentic charm without breaking the bank. You'll find a more genuine glimpse into local life and have the chance to discover the island's cultural heritage, warm hospitality, and traditional cuisine. However, it's important to note that some attractions and activities might be limited during this season.

Food and drink in Zante
Freshness takes center stage as Zante's cuisine celebrates the bounties of the Mediterranean Sea. Seafood lovers will delight in savoring the catch of the day, expertly prepared with traditional Greek flavors. Picture yourself relishing succulent grilled octopus, tender calamari, and melt-in-your-mouth local fish, all complemented by the island's famed olive oil and aromatic herbs.
For those seeking an authentic taste of Zante, the local specialty, "Sartsa," is a must-try. This hearty dish features slow-cooked beef or rabbit infused with local wine and spices, delivering a symphony of flavors that encapsulate the island's rich history and culture. Pair it with a glass of crisp, locally-produced Robola wine for a truly immersive culinary experience.
Zante's sweet offerings are equally enchanting. A stroll through charming villages will lead you to traditional bakeries crafting mouthwatering pastries like "Pasteli," a treat made from sesame seeds and honey. And of course, no visit to Zante is complete without a sample of the island's world-famous "Mandolato" – a nougat-like confection that perfectly balances sweetness and texture.
Quench your thirst with an array of refreshing beverages, including the island's signature "Zakynthos Beer," known for its crispness and distinctive character. The local "Avgoustiatis" wine, with its unique blend of fruity and earthy tones, provides an excellent companion to your dining adventures.
