The beaches in Zakynthos are some of the most stunning stretches of sand not only in the Ionian Sea but in all of Greece. This island is blessed with sunny weather, hidden coves, dramatic cliffs and powdery white sand, so if you’re coming to Greece for a beach holiday, this might be the island to choose.
From the sunsets on lovely Tsilivi Beach to the world-famous images of Shipwreck Cove, the sandy beaches in Zakynthos (Zante) range from calm bays perfect for families to spectacular secluded natural harbours surrounded by dramatic cliffs.

Best Time to Visit Zakynthos for Beaches
Peak Season: July & August
High Season: June-September
Shoulder Season: April-May & September-October
Off-Season: November-March
The best time to visit Greece is between the months of March and October, but for beaches, you’ll want to come during the warmer months when the sea temperature rises enough to go for a swim.
Anytime between May and September is perfect for sunbathing and enjoying the Ionian beaches of Zakynthos, but during the summer high-season months of July and August, the beaches can get uncomfortably crowded, particularly the popular ones like Navagio and Laganas.
The absolute best time to visit in my opinion is in April to May or September to early-October when the Ionian Sea is still a decent temperature for swimming, but there aren’t so many people crowding the beaches.
