Admiral Hotel - (Accommodation in Tsilivi)

Michelle T

I have booked a 2 weeks holiday from last week of August with my husband and 7 year old son. Are the rooms at the Admirals overly hot as I believe there is no air conditioning? Also wanted to find out where is good to visit as a family and any handy hints anyone has that have been there before. Thanks very much

Hi we have booked to go to the Admirals on 25 August for 2 weeks. There are conflicting reports on the place but I am going with an open mind. I am going with my hubby and 7 year old son - any advice, hints, tips, information gratefully received as never been to Tsilivi or Zante before.  Let me know if you are going the same time as us too!  Thanks

I really recommend doing this safari at the start of your holiday to get a true picutre of the island of Zakynthos.  We were fortunate enough to have Paul,  the owner of the company as our Guide. Despite his many year of running safari's he still injected enthusiasm, humour and great story telling to the day.  However, I would recommend that the reps tell holidaymakers to wear suitable footwear and to warn people that there is quite a bit of walking which for some could have proved difficult.  It would be also good if they told you to take a towel as we didn't - however we were able to purchase a new one from the market stall we stopped at. However despite my flip flops, I managed to scramble rough terrain to see some spectacluar views that I would never have seen otherwise - well worth it and I managed to get brilliant photos.  We did get some funny looks when we returned to the hotel due to the stench coming from us after dipping in the sulphur springs (I was also covered in blue fluff from my new towel)  Great experience though and Paul's extra beauty treatment tip of exfoliating with the sand left us all smooth skinned and refreshed after a brilliant day! 
 
Thank you Paul and good luck with everything in the future! And I hope you manage to get that old Greek woman to finally say "he's not coming out - he's been a very naughty boy" - would love to be there to hear it!  I would have rated Comfort as Excellent if only you would take your good wife's advice and buy some cold boxes   Final word - if you do one excursion on your holiday DO THIS ONE!!!!
