Spring on Zakynthos

Spring on Zakynthos is arguably the most beautiful time. Everywhere a profusion of flowers and blossom. The coastline around the cliffs and beaches is surrounded by fields of bright coloured wildflowers and red poppies.

The temperature is delightfully warm ranging form 21 degrees early in the season to 32 degrees by June.

And there's the added benefit of being on holiday during term time.

If you would like to check the weather in spring or for that matter now then go to weather underground - it's usually a good guide.

Given the warmth and beauty it's no surprise that painting and walking tend to be favorite pastimes.

If you simply want to paint then the ever changing light and dramatic colours of Zakynthos offer the artist a rare opportunity.

Equally there is no shortage of beautiful walks. Above and behind Paliovigla are the most beautiful pine-covered mountains and hills. the roads are quite and relatively traffic free and the views stunning.
