Calinica Hotel - (Accommodation in Tsilivi)

Lucy P           

We have just come back from calliniga 4 apartments and were pleasantly surprised after reading all the previous comments! I thought the housekeepers did a wicked job with our very untidy room and although we were right next door to the bar, all music is off at 1am and we found it very quiet. The pool was nice and all the staff really friendly, especially as they kept findin our lost belongings! The only thing was the shops were fairly expensive but i think that was a general tsilivi thing! I have stayed in many different places in greece and i find accomodation pretty much the same, yeah it is basic but at the end of the day your're just there to base yourself and to sleep, i think english people moan too much because at the end of the day your holiday is what you make it, obviously its not on if the apartment is unsafe in any way but greek accomodation is pretty basic. Tsivili itself is nice and loads of different taverna's, the one on the corner by calliniga is great, plus nemesis and la fiora, found zante quite expensive though, and don't bother with any of the rep's trips, they're a lot cheaper elsewhere! The only problem we had is we hate football and even there where we thought we could escape it,it was rammed down our throats!!!!
it is a lovely island though and we had beautiful weather, most of the time, and all the locals are really lovely and its hard not to have a nice relaxin time!!

Really liked it here too, staff were great if a little crazy, no DJ but we went in quite lowish season, fairly cheap and great service!

Would have been good if it wasn't centred on football!

Bouka Beach - (Beaches in Zante)

Lucy P           

Is lovely especially if you want it nice and quiet away from too many kids, bar around the corner is great just need to change their cd once in a while!

Libra Holidays - (Tour Operators in Zante)

Lucy P  (26 June 2004)         

Overall found Libra pretty good! Didn't see much anything of rep but wasn't that fussed about them anyway, flight was basic but very punctual and even left early from zante so only stayed in the cattleshed for 10 mins!! Good value for money and we had no problems with any aspect of the holiday!

June - (Best Time to Visit)

Lucy P           

Great time to go, avoid all the t***s and most the kids(unfortunately not the greek ones at our apartments!), get lots of free drinks and service is generally better than in high season, bars aren't crammed packed with karaoke every night, is much nicer if you want a more chilled out holiday! Weather was great not too hot its uncomfortable but some rain and great thunderstorms!! I would say make sure u take some warmer things this time of year as can be quite chilly at night.

Avgoustis - (Restaurants in Tsilivi)

Lucy P           

Lovely place, great views, friendly service and good food- fish quite pricey though!

Premier (old) - (Restaurants in Tsilivi)

Great place, great veggie selection and fantastic service and also it was actually a bit more authentic greek than a lot of places here!

Day trip to Olympia - (Zante Excursions)

Lucy P           

Absolutely brilliant day, lovely site, really interestin and we had a brilliant guide who was very knowledgeable and funny! Only problem was it tipped it down whilst we were there and we got soaked!!! All part of the experience though! Would hvae liked to spend a little more time there rather than in the olympia village which was so unlike any part of greece i have ever known it was unreal! Really worth doin if you can but shop around for prices we paid 29 euros which was very reasonable.

Water Village - (Places to Visit in Zante)

Lucy P           

Quite enjoyed day out here, very expensive entrance fee for a fairly small park but was a good day, there from 10-4 just long enough, slides were fun and no queues which was great, could do with addin a few more slides but saw the other water park and that was even worse even tho its only 6 euros entry! Best waterpark still remains with corfu's sorry zante!
