What should I pack when moving to Zakynthos?
We asked people living in Zakynthos to list three things they wish they had brought and three they wish they had left behind. They responded...
"When moving to Zakynthos, you should pack a variety of clothing suitable for a Mediterranean climate, including lightweight clothing for the hot summers and warmer clothing for the cooler winters. Don't forget to pack swimwear, as the island is known for its beautiful beaches. You should also pack a good pair of walking shoes for exploring the island's many hiking trails and historical sites. Sunscreen, sunglasses, and a hat are essential to protect yourself from the strong Mediterranean sun. If you plan on cooking, consider packing some of your favorite spices or non-perishable food items, as they may be hard to find on the island. Remember to pack all necessary toiletries, including any prescription medications you may need. It's also a good idea to bring a basic first aid kit. Don't forget to pack important documents such as your passport, driver's license, and any necessary visas or work permits. Lastly, consider packing a power adapter for your electronics, as the plugs in Greece may be different from those in your home country," mentioned another expat when asked about moving to Zakynthos, Greece.
