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 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!
