Zante Weather in October

What's the weather like in Zante in October? 

Zante has typical Mediterranean weather due to its location in the Ionian Sea off the west coast of southern Greece. This means the island’s long, hot summer does its best to carry on in to October, meaning you'll get plenty of high temperatures and sun if you go at this time. You'll be kept cool by the sea breezes and north westerly winds, which are usually at their strongest in the afternoon so evenings will be nice and calm for you. The amount of rain does pick up as the month goes on with the most rain falling in the north west and Zante’s west mountain range. Head to the southeastern beaches for the best shelter from wet and windy weather. Central Greece’s mountains will also protect you from cold northerly winds that pick up as the year goes on.
