Zakynthos Weather

During the summer months and especially in August, rainfall is very rare, while north winds are very common in this month.

These winds, known as "Meltemia" blow from north to south usually starting after 14:00 - 15:00 pm. If you prefer calmer waters for swimming, we recommend you to go to beaches on the south side of the island.
