Us too, us being me, husband and kids. Going to Admirals any info.

We were in Tsilivi 3 years ago. We found Popeyes to be one of the best restaurants for the kids. They usually got a gift like a cap, pen or t-shirt. The food was lovely, try the lamb! We had to be there early as it was always very busy. We stayed at the Tsilivi Admirals, and our favourite restaurants were the fish restaurants on the beach next to the apartments. They were very inexpensive, and the kids could play on the beach while we finished off our meals. They did lovely chicken nuggets for the kids, proper chicken not manufactured like you get here, my husband enjoyed them at lunch time. And of course you had the lovely views. All the restaurants were good though, the best lamb kleftico I've had was in Zante.

Hire a car go down to Keri, wonderful sunsets there. We hired a boat for 4 hours, was great fun. Something not to be missed! Take a packed lunch and plenty of drinks though. I don't know what the prices are like now as it was pre-euro when we went. Have fun

I'm going back to zante this year having stayed previously in kalamaki. this year i am going to tsilivi, would be grateful of people's opinions on the resort and recommendations on eating out.

many thanks in advance.

we stayed here at the jupiter hotel 2 years ago, tsilivi, pronounced "sillyvee" we found it was a fairly quiet resort with adequate bars and restaruants, "smileys bar " not far from the jupiter was very friendly, "popeyes" a little further down the road provided good food, but was very popular, so you have to pick you time carefully, food was very good though, staff at restaruants can be a pain when they try to get you in , but be polite and just walk on if you dont fancy it, allthough we did not have a bad meal anywhere during our two week stay.
beach is nice but rather narrow so can get quite packed, we found a nice cove about 4 miles up the road, cannot remember what it was called at the moment, but will post again if it comes back to me.
Zante is a beautifull island so i would reccomend a car or scooter to see it.
road signs are weird, they only indicate when you have left a village, and not when you enter ???
Zante town is the pitz, but you have to go, if only to see how the other half live
sorry to go on but we think zante is 2nd best to ibiza, have a brill time, and let us all know how you get on
best wishes

hi,we are thinking of booking a week in tsilivi staying at the dannas studios i think we will book it sooner rather than later as we have read some good reports about the resort and we have always wanted to go to zante cheers Mark.

I've been to Zakynthos 3 times now and love the island. Tsilivi was my favourite resort but I visited there 4 years ago. I've also stayed in Alykes and Laganas. Alykes was too quiet, Laganas too busy and I found Tsilivi a happy medium

We stayed at the Jupiter hotel and nearby is a nice little cove which is much quieter than the main beach. The resort is compact and there were numerous eating and drinking places.

Personally, I don't think it is a place that people can dislike. Hiring a car or jeep though is a must. Drive over to the blue caves and get on a boat to take you round them. There is also a little town in the mountains that sells rugs (at least it did 4 years ago)

Have fun

hiya
We went to tsilivi 3 summers ago and had a really nice time, I reccomend the cats whiskers and manos grill gor a meal, and the level bar serves up a great cocktail, there is a website, http://www.justzante.co.uk I found some useful stuff on there.I am sure you will love it, it was a place with something for everyone, if you enjoy a full english breakfast, fawlty towers was superb

Hi

here's a current Tsilivi forum with a good thread to start with.
there's plenty of current info on the forum from 2004.

Have a read of this for starters

I have a good friend who went to Tsilivi a couple of years ago. big familly holiday.. mum dad.. children.. granchildren.. aunts uncles.. granparents..
They all loved it and rccomended Tsilivi as the best resort they had ever stayed in on a familly holiday.

paul..

Went to tsilivi in 2003 for the day.
Fantastic beach and none of the hotels seemed to be too far away from it!
There was a bit of buliding work along the front but should be well finished by now!

We went in May and there was a bit of a wind off the sea, not sure if it was just that day. If thats normal be careful you don't burn.
Have a nice time!

We stayed in Old Alykanas the year before last and hired a jeep to see the island, we wanted to stop in Tsillivi as we'd heard the beach was lovely but as soon as we saw the Macdonalds!!! and the amount of bars etc we soon changed our minds and carried on driving! We went down to Vassillikos (much nicer) and ended up at Dafni beach one of the best beaches on Zante. Tsillivi certainly wasn't our cup of tea! We thought Alykanas was commercialised until we saw Tsillivi, but if you want lively and don't mind lots of other Brits around you then you'll be fine.

I have to say that I agree with Duffi on this one. I used to go to Argassi in Zante with my parents when I was a kid & thought I would take my husband 'for old times sake' in 2001. I had heard that Argassi was now very busy & commercialised, so we chose Tsillivi as this was said to be quieter. We hated every minute of it! If you want english 'pubs', burgers, spaghetti bolognese & full english breakfasts galore, then Tsillivi is the place for you. If good, traditional Greek food & atmosphere is what youre after, then i'm sorry, I think you've booked the wrong holiday.

We went to Tsillivi in 2001 and had a great time. I think you'll be fine.

Hi there My wife and I went to Tsilivi last september for the week first time away on our own for 12 years left the kids with my sister and off we went.
I thought that it was a great place we stayed in the Diasy appartments which were a little bit of a walk from Poppeys bar but not too far.
eating out was realy cheap and a meal and a bottle of whine was about £15. There are some great places to eat i suggest you try them all we tried most of them. Poppeys is good but a bit too much like eating at home. I must reccomend a cocktail bar right on the corner before you get to Poppeys and across from the supermarket the cocktails are first class and the bar staff mad.

can anyone reccomend a nice hotel to stay here, pref half board but not really fussed family type place
