There are plenty of bars and restaurants, Jokers bar was one we drank in a lot. The beach in Tsilivi is nothing special in my opinion, but it depends what you want. We stayed in Phoenix Beach Hotel.

have you read the members otel reviews for Zakinthos yet??

Yes I have & found it helpful. Thanks

Try Molyvos or Petra on the island of Lesvos. From what you said I think either of them would fit the bill. Incidentally are you the same claireyfairy on b3ta.com?

Nope

Hi. Naxos is a lovely island. Went in May so it was quiet. It hasn't got an airport so you have to fly to Mykonos then go to Naxos by boat, round about 2 hours if stopping off at Paros on the way. It is well worth the traveling. Naxos has some off the best beaches I've seen and has the main town for nights out. From Naxos there are plenty of other islands to visit, Santorini, Paros, Mykonos and the smaller islands of Iraklia, Koufonisi ect. There are plenty of places to visit on the island and nowhere is too far away.

Unless you like to be around '18-30' people in Zante I would personally reccomend the more peaceful and certainly more beautiful island of Kefalonia. Prices however might be higher in contract to Zante

Kafelonia is in a totally different league to Zante.
