Zakynthos is the third largest island in the Ionian Islands archipelago. Its landscape includes white beaches, olive groves, impressive cliffs and a sea that shimmers in shades of blue and green. Zakynthos is one of those beautiful places where you can forget about the whole world. It doesn’t hurt either that the weather here is typically fantastic.

Zakynthos has a hot-summer Mediterranean climate – this means that the summer is, as the name suggests, very hot, very sunny and very dry (rainfall is pretty much nonexistent).

It’s also the month where 30°C becomes the low-average for a day, so you’re going to need that refreshment, trust us. It doesn’t get much warmer than this, perhaps a degree or two higher in August at most. It’s very, very warm, in short. It’s no wonder that all the popular beaches on Zakynthos are overcrowded from morning to sunset.
