Argassi Weather
As with all the resorts on Zante, Argassi has a Mediterranean climate with warm sunny summers and mild winters. If it is a bronzed tan that you want from your holiday, then the best time to go on holiday to Zante is any time from April to late September when the temperatures are high.
Should you wish to experience what Argassi has to offer minus the tan, then you're best time to visit is late autumn when it is still pleasantly warm, but not outrageously hot.
