Toiletries and Medical Supplies: always take your suntan lotion, it is expensive here, the higher the factor the higher the price
expect to pay 15 euros for a small bottle of factor 15.
Mosquito repellent is a good idea, but i prefer to get something local, biggest bottle and cheapest usually means the locals use it, and therefore it works

Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: Towards the end of the tourist season, late September and October, it rains quite a lot and there are some amazing storms, just bring some rainwear with you, a poncho or something, everyone tends to wear them in the evenings if its raining so you wont look too stupid.....Just sensible!

Toiletries and Medical Supplies: Zanti is a small island so medical supplies in chemists are going to be expensive so bring with you a well equiped first aid kit, """BETTER TO BE SAFE THAN SORRY"""

Miscellaneous: Some of the accommodation on Zante will be tucked out of the way off the main roads so the street lighting may not be there, so my tip would be to bring a torch just in case.
