Share videoThe Ionian Islands region
The Ionian Islands are located in the Ionian Sea, in the western part of Greece. The Ionian Sea is also called the Adriatic sea. The Ionian are some of the most popular Greek islands and attract a lot of people from all over Europe. They are composed of Corfu, Lefkada, Kefalonia, Zakynthos, Ithaca, Paxoi and Kythira. These islands are known for their beautiful beaches, their charming villages and their verdant landscapes.
The Zakynthos / Amoudi - Psarou Beach area
Psarou-Beach area is situated between the resorts of Amoudi and Tsilivi, on the North East coast of Zakynthos Island and is just 12 km away from Zante town.
Porta del mar villas are a quiet and peaceful haven, located over the Ionian Sea, where on a clear day you can see out to the island of Kefalonia. Our resort is literally only a few steps from a natural sandy beach. The private cove exactly next to the villas provides crystal clear waters while Psarou beach is awarded with the Blue flag for the last 10 consecutive years.
The surrounding unspoilt countryside provides interesting walks through the beautiful olive fields. Within walking distance (50 – 200 meters long) you may find many local, family-run Greek taverns, mini-markets and a bakery for your daily needs. To explore Zakynthos Island, car/scooter hire is available.
The weather in Zakynthos (Zante) is a typical Mediterranean climate consisting in hot, sunny summers and mild, rainy winters. Known to be one of the sunniest places in Greece, rainy days in summer are very rare in the island of Zakynthos.
During winters, rainfall is quite high as is the level of humidity; those are the reasons of the extreme fertility. Zakynthos is much greener than many other Greek islands and the climate is favourable for the cultivation of olives, citrus fruits and wines.
Average daily temperatures:
April: 22°C | May: 25°C | June: 29°C
July: 32°C | August: 34°C | September: 29°C | October: 24°C
The weather in April is most of the times nice and sunny. Zakynthos Island looks amazing as spring time goes by. Flowers are blooming, spring colors are everywhere in the green fields and the views are fantastic. In May, days are even longer, nature is bright, and the sea water is starting to get really warm (we also start swimming in late April). In June, July, August, September, the warmest months of the season, the morning and evening temperature is usually excellent but during the day, it can be hot. All night long you can enjoy Greek food and drinks sitting in a T-shirt on nice taverns or bars next to the sea!
October is mostly sunny and warm with a small possibility of rainfall. The sea-water however is warmer than in May with a bit cooler evenings.
