What to expect in Zante
Zante is a little haven, with beautiful beaches and scorching dry heat. WIth a transfer time of only ten minutes, it’s certainly the most convenient resort. The time from stepping off the plane and relaxing with a cheeky cocktail is minimal!
With low prices, and high temperatures, sun worshippers that want to get the most from their money should walk this way. As if that wasn’t enough, it’s our only resort with a turtle sanctuary - perfect fodder to ease a hangover.
What type of people get jobs in Zante?

When is the best time to go to Zante?
Early Zante workers are our first guests to head off, dates run from April to July, but you can stay on for the closing parties - we’ll help you secure further accommodation when you’re out there. If it’s your first time working abroad, 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!
Just finished my second year abroad with Summer Takeover and they’ve made it just as amazing as the last!
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.
This was my second year with summer takeover and as normal there was no disappointment in it!
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.
Just wana say thanks to summer takeover for giving me the best summer ever. Went to Zante and had unreal time.

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.
