Tsilivi Beach Hotel - (Accommodation in Tsilivi)

We've just returned from a week here and had a fantastic time. The hotel was very clean (and we stayed in the old part.)Everyone was extremely friendly and helpful. The only bad points I found were that there are no adjoining rooms in the hotel (even if you are promised this by travel company) and my children suffered blisters in the pool due to the non-slip tiles at the shallow end. My youngest wore swimming shoes which had to be discarded as they had been ripped to bits but the older two had plasters on continually as their toes were bleeding after a couple of days. Despite this, they loved the pool to bits and really enjoyed the holiday - they can't wait to go back!
If you are considering an island tour by boat, I would highly recommend Pergolas tours (ask for Tasos) which is located opposite the Troc. Not only were the extremely reasonable (42 euros for 2 adults and 3 kids compared to 50 euros each that our friends were charged by the rep) but they were very well organised, delivered everything they said they would and it was not expensive on the (huge) boat. We enjoyed swimming at the shipwreck and near Keri, wonderful views and even followed a turtle. It was worth every penny and was one of our best days.
For eating, most places are very good but our favourite was Menir's. This was a pleasant, short walk along the beach toward Planos, turn left on the first road off the beach, past the fish restaurant and you'll find it. Children are treated exceptionally well here - free ice-creams with sparklers etc. and the food is wonderful and also reasonably priced.
