My partner and I are looking at booking our 2007 holiday in the next month or so, and wanted to go to a Greek island. I think we've narrowed it down to Zante. We originally looked at going to Crete, but Zante just looks stunning. Problem is, not sure which resort to go to. I have looked into it a bit and Tsilivi looks lovely. Just wanted some opinions. The sort of stuff we're looking for is:
- nice beaches , preferably not rocky
- plenty of nice restaurants and tavernas
- some lively bars (not bothered about nightclubs though)
- somewhere that looks attractive and still has an authentic feel to it
That about sums it up. We are both 22 but not really into clubbing, more bars and restaurants really. I have found a hotel online that looks good and the reviews are excellant, it is called Planet studios and apartments.Is this quite central to everything? We will be booking to go in the last week of August 2007, any idea as to when is the latest we can leave it to book? I don't know how popular these place are!!
Right, sorry that's a bit of an essay but I have no idea about Greek islands really, let alone the resorts and you don't always want to go soleley on what the brochures say!!
Advice would be Very gratefully recieved!!
Cheers!

In fact we stayed there on our last night as we had an early morning flight and couldn't keep our room at our own apartments which were just up the road from Planet. If I am thinking about the same one it is 2 mins from the beach and probably 5-10 mins walk to the 'town centre' although there are bars and restaurants en route! One I remember in particular was at the top of the road from Planet apartments called Utopia (I think) - very friendly and brilliant cocktails (our first and last call every evening). If I went back to Zante I wouldn't hesitate in going back to Tsilivi.
Thanks in advance.
Booked Alykanas this morning before reading replies but it does look like the less commercialised option in Zante. We plan to get a car so we can have a look at the other resorts.
