I honestly had the best summer ever! I went to Zante on the 6th of June and I really wish I went earlier! I couldn’t thank Summer Takeover and our reps Dan and Jordan enough! They went about and beyond to make sure everyone hadn’t the best time! Can’t wait to go back next summer!

I went to Zante with Summer takeover on 23rd may this year, I spent 3 months working for Tidal boat party which was the best experience I’ve ever had I loved it!! I met some amazing people who became family and friends for life, the reps (Dan and Jordan) we’re amazing always kept everyone happy and in spirit, I’d recommend Summer takeover mainly for if it’s your first season working abroad as it helps you meet people easier and opens opportunities to multiple jobs.

I arrived in Zante with Summer Takeover on the 16th of May, I met some friends for life and worked on Tidal, the sickest boat party in Zante. Dan and Jordan were quality reps, always there for everyone, whatever the problem, helped secure jobs and further accommodation. Will recommend ST to anyone wanting to work abroad.

Summer takeover made my experience of working in Zante excellent. The staff are always happy to help and always ask how things are going. They helped me get a job within a day of arriving in Zante. They sorted me out accommodation also while I was out there and just made my experience a whole lot easier and organised. If anyone is looking to work abroad in the summer 100% go through summer takeover.

This was definitely a summer to remember. Summer takeover were a massive help on the job front and great people who you could speak to whether you just wanted a chat or if you had a problem. Very friendly and would recommend anyone who want to go out and work through ST. They provided me a job on Tidal as a VIP host and it was hands down the best job on the island, making friends for life.

Best Summer ever 😁
Early Zante workers are our first guests to head off. Dates run from April to July, but you can stay on for the infamous closing parties - we’ll help you secure further accommodation when you’re out there. If it’s your first time on a working holiday, we recommend going out earlier - it’s easier to get your bearings when it’s a little quieter than to jump in at the deep end mid season!
If you’re from any country inside the EU, you don’t need a visa for a working holiday in Zante. If you are from a country that is not in the EU, eg. USA, Australia, New Zealand, you will need a visa. Applying for a visa is relatively simple and can be done online.
