October - (Best Time to Visit)
Diane W 
parkin, the weather last year in Zante was fantastic in the first week of October. We had hot, sunny days and in the second week the weather changed and hammered down with rain. During our first week we sat by the pool at the Villa Helena and sometimes had to wear a baseball cap because the sun was so strong. Then sit under a parasol. After the four days of rain and high winds my birthday turned out to be sunny all day. This year we are going out in three weeks time on October 10th to the 24th. 
One trip I would recommend is the cruise around the fab coastline of the island. Wonderful. We visited the wonderful Smuggler's Cove.

The picture shows Julie and myself on the boat going over to Turtle Island. We booked it from a chap on Laganas beach. During the stop on the island we got to see a baby turtle.

Julie and I visited Kalamaki last year (2004) and the sea was rough and the wind was high. We had lunch in Mermaid's taverna. Put pic on later. The date was the 14th October. We had had 4 days of high winds, thunder and lightening and heavy rain. The last trip we went on before the weather changed was the Island tour by coach.
