Great bar. Good music. Entertaining and friendly bar staff. Cabaret nights are best, featuring Hayley Bell and Elvis. These nights are not to be missed. Also watch out for barman George ( Party Boy ! ) singing Speedy Gonzalez on top of the bar, whilst the other barman Nico sets fire to the bar ! His duet with Hayley on 'Valerie' is showstopping !!!

Jim D

Great music, atmosphere, thanks Nico for the t-shirts for my grand kids, see you in September

hey! we also spent every night at the ark cos it was one of the only bars we felt had a good atmosphere. We were made to feel very welcome and ive got great memories of george and nikos, especially lighting the fires on the bars and giving teejay lessons in the dirty side of the greek language! Not to mention george being the sex machine he is and nikos making me laugh with his 'sexy ladies' phrase. All the other staff here were great too....everyone is lovely. only been home a day and i want to go back!!! take me back!!! Pleeeeeease!!!!

Yiammas!!!! Love Loran.xx

Thanks Bounce (Best DJ ever) for playing 'Pump it up', 'Live is life' and 'Everlasting love' for Nige!
 
George The Sex Machine -Totally mad
You looked great in your new glasses and cap!!
  Sorry George but Nikos definitely makes the best cocktails!!!
 
Nikos - The Best Sexy Barman ever!
Thanks for making our holiday such a great laugh  - you need to give Nigel some tips on greek dancing -he still can't do it as good as you!!
 
You and George are very naughty getting Nigel so so drunk -especially the night we were leaving for the airport!!!
 
We miss you both and can't wait to see you on May 20th next year xxx

Zoe            

Had many good times in here again, for the second time this year..thanks for making me feel welcome again guys...get well soon george..great music still played by Bounce..I'd recommend this bar to anyone!!

 
As for the rather negative comment a few posts ago, we're all allowed our own opinions..but i really don't think you should let your personal feelings get in the way..( i know why u said what u did)..i just dont think this is the place for name calling

Lisa H           

We were in Tsilivi for 2 weeks and ended up in The Ark bar nearly every night and some days. The atmosphere was excellent, made to feel very welcome especially by Nico and George. Would definately go back again.

What a bar, what a team!!! George and Nicos - "we are ready!!!!"

We had heard all about the Ark from friends who had been previously and so we thought we might spend a couple of nights in there. Of the 14 nights we were in Tsilivi, we went to the Ark Bar on all but one of them (other commitments - otherwise we would have been there every night).
 
The Salt and Pepper team were great, very busy, but always had time to spend with the kids. Bogi, Dora, we love you. xx
 
DJ Bounce (Paul) - what a great collection of music this man has - the only complaint I have is that I couldn't get him to put a ban on Shakira. ;-)
 
George, the nicest lunatic you will ever meet, Mr Speedy Gonzales himself, bless his scorched cotton socks. George has no rhythm and is tone deaf, but is relentless in his pursuit of entertaining everyone with his fire dance on the bar.
 
Nicos, the most genuine and hospitable landlord you could ever wish to meet, (unless of course you are George). A well practised bartender and pyromaniac, once the evening is in full swing and Nicos has had a few to drink he cannot stop giggling like a guinea pig on speed.

The music was great & Bounce was very entertaining, cant wait to go back!!!! 

Karen W           

have an absolutely amazing holiday in general but at the ark, had a brilliant time. nic and george were great fun and i cant wait to come out again.

spent every night being entertained and somewhat charmed by the pair of them.
 
recommend anyone who goes to tsilivi to pop into that place for a night of fun and laughter
 
great tunes by bouncy - and fair play to him for refusing such naff bands as westlife.
 
me and sue will be back
 
thanks boys  x

Just got back from tsilivi, we spent every evening in the ark bar, it was fantastic, nico and george are great, we felt so welcome, even with our 2 children in tow! it's great watching the guys mix up the cocktails, very entertaining, we especially loved george singing "speedy gonzales" with nico setting fire to the bar (and occasionally george!)  all the girl's and guy's serving were fantastic, we had such a good time, we were sad to leave  hope to see you guy's again next year.

Ken G           

click to enlargeclick to enlargeJust can not believe that Caroline. Your on holiday just chill, giorgio and nikos are top guys just trying to make your holiday memorable, or does this smack of being prudish that is so english. We have just bought an apartment in Tsilvi and these two guys have helped us big time, they are our friends and very well respected on the island. SO TO THE ARK BAR YAMASS!!! P.S. Just another little thing supporting the boys,it was my wifes birthday and who baked her a cake even though these guys are ultra busy, busy NIKOS. Oh! and Elvis is still alive!!!

Scarlet            

Oh Caroline   maybe you need to take a chill pill on holiday. How could a bit of chatting up ruin your holiday?  If you don't like it you don't need to stay at the bar - simple! We know the guys well and it's all harmless fun  - really.

Zoe            

Yes the guys flirt with you in the bar, but its all part of an act...its harmless fun, and offense shouldnt really be taken to it...if you look around the bar, you will see them being flirty and chatty to everyone, regardless of if theyre single or not

Giraffe            

 
ha ha ha ha ha ha .. nearly fell of my chair reading the last post. Basically the way i'm reading your message is that it's ok for the guys to try it on with you when your boyfriend isn't in the bar but not ok when he is??
 
They are just having a bit of fun. Too many people read too much into the way they behave. We've been going to the Ark Bar for many years and have never experienced any problems. Everyone flirts with the bar staff.. maybe they read more into your flirting than you expected (just a thought) You don't say whether this was the start of your holiday or not but unless something drastic happened you shouldn't have let it ruin your entire holiday (a bit narrow minded)
 
Coments please

Caroline M           

Basically the bar was wicked, the guys were great until one of them tries it on with you when your boyfriend is still in the bar. Beware guys these two are dodgy as anything and have absolutely no respect for women. Ruined our entire holiday, thanks a lot

Mandy B           

Thanks for making our holiday a brilliant one. Bounce.... what a man!  I tried to catch you out and still you managed to find most of the songs I asked you to play. George....get Niko to install a fire extinguisher behind the bar for when he sets fire to you again. Niko...cocktail maker extraordinaire. As a double act with George, legends in your own life time. Enjoy Australia! I am never drinking neat Smirnoff shots again as long as I live.

Mandy and Joe  

Moira F           

George, Nico and Athina - thanks for another great welcome this year and for the big send off on our last night - but especially for all the great nights in-between!! Ta for all the slammers and extra strong vodka/orange (yum) Luv you guys!  Bounce your music was as good as ever (Hips don't Lie & Paris to Berlin are our holiday tunes this year!) Big Hi to Crouchy (i.e.Tomas) and Theodora and to Sakis (great crepes).

See you next year,
Hugs & kisses,
Yiamas!!!

What can be said about this bar other than the rating below should extend to infallible for this bar. We have just come back from two weeks in Tsilivi and we have been in the Ark during the day and night and believe me when I say that the welcome is just as warm when the night time alcohol is not flowing.

Big thank you to Niko, George, Bounce and all the waiting staff for making my sons day with photos and his t-shirt.! You are all SIMPLY THE BEST!   

Rachel            

 
We had a fantastic time in May 2006. Niko & George are fantastic.... love you lots guys.
 
Thanks for looking after Lauren... she now can't wait until next year to come back!
 
See you all in September/October '06 for 2 weeks this time!

Steve G           

We just got back on Friday last, top resort, top Bar........the ARK is the best bar ever. 

George & Nico are great.
We stayed in Di Palai Hotel next door and our balcony faced the Ark, we had such a great time.
The music was great and everyone who works there are brilliant 
Noone leaves the ARK unhappy, Nico and George see to that.  
Lots of beer and cheer (and cocktails).
 
All the best to everyone there. hope to get back there next year
