hi we stayed in the mavrias apartments last year at the start of august. we had a studio room in the new block opposite from the pool and were the cars were parked.  we have booked this year to go back for two weeks the same time in a room which sleeps up to 3 people. Does anybody know if these are the same studio's we stayed in last year, as our travel details state our accomidation as 'mavrias complex 3'

Hi, my mums going into book to stay at this apartments next year..... only to read on trip advisor some people were disappointed where the apartments were located, a charge per night for the air con??? Has anyone got any recent pictures??? very much appreciated before wee book x

Kim, I'm so glad to hear that you've been to Zeus, I've just been reading that it wasn't opening this year which would have been a shame.

Just came back from Zante after spending two glorious weeks there.Freddy was so lovely and the apartments were brilliant.Really enjoyed my stay there went to Zeus near planos Spiros and George such friendly guys the food was excellent and nikos and Jenny from Benicos I would say they are the best two places to eat.If you haven't been to Zante before I recommend it it was such a pretty place to visit with some lovely places to visit Shipreck island BlueCaves Keri Caves Turtle Island And looking for turtles I saw 2 it was lovely to see defiantly be goin back there again soon.

Pauline,

 hi me and my hubby are coming in july,does anyone know if the exchange rate is better than in england.

Thanks Bill and Adrian. Sadly we couldn't get in with there being 6 of us it has made it rather difficult but I'm sure the 4 first timers (to Greece never mind Tsilivi) will enjoy it just the same. We've ended up in Mavrikos Aparthotel now and if it turns out to not fulfill what Mavrias has set as a standard I'm sure I could always upheave the group down to Mavrias for cocktails and Greek dancing around the pool on a night (Y).

Nicola Try the Olympic Holidays site and look for Katerina studios they are part of Mavrias Village best of luck Adrian

Nicola, try going onto the Princess Hotel website as you can also book direct with them.

Wanting to come back this summer and bring friends but can't find the apartments to book anywhere

Just had a weeks stay at the Mavrias Apartments, great central location, very clean with excellent facilities, friendly people and complex kept very clean.  Only downside having to wait about 5 mins for hot water to come through, but got use to it after a few days. Would definately stay here again.  Lynn, Frank and Lisa White.

  Hi Ann

Enjoy   

Hi Kath

Hello Mellisa

Tele +30 26950 44482

Hiya everyone

Im needing help please

Don't want to book it then people not be happy , im wanting everything to be perfect for my wedding

Whoop whoop de whoooooooo  !  Its that time of year again - May looms and May means a trip to see our friends at Mavrias Village and Tsilivi !

'Anna' & 'Angelena'  ( this year to include Audrey & Janice too !)

A few comments to help out with the recent posts below. To see where the Princess / Mavrias is go to the new Tsilivi street view, find the Family Restaurant and open the view (in the centre of Tsilivi on an S bend), pan round 180 deg. You will see the bakery in the foreground and down the road to the left behind it you can just see the pool bar of the Princess. It is about a ten minute stroll to the beach. The service is very friendly and it is an excellent place to stay. You do have to pay for air con and safes as you do in most places in Tsilivi. I have not stayed myself for some time but use the pool bar every year because of the welcome you always get.

Hi. Just booked for the Princess Mavrias Studio Apartments, does anyone know if you pay extra for the air-con or a safe box please?

Hey, just booked a week in the Mavrias Apartments Complex 3 at end of July with my boyfriend. I've been to Tsilivi twice but not for about 5 years jut wondering if anything has changed much? and what these apartments are like? and where they're situated?
Thanks

Leah

Hi Leah - Are you staying at Mavrikos or Mavrias.....   Mavrais is great, very central and couldn't be nearer everything if you were to camp in the middle of the road !

We are out there 18th - 28th May - maybe we'll bump into you in Paradise  or if you are staying at the Mavrias we'll see you round the pool - we'll be the two women with hangovers every morning, sleeping it off o the sunbeds all day !!! .....lol

Can any one help!!

4 adults going to tsivili staying in mavrikos apts. Can anyone help and tell me is this close to the main resort and what activities do they do at the main beach eg.. paragliding, diving etc? I am going middle of may this year and have never been and so excited, could anyone recommend good places to visit trips etc, sorry for so many questions but I would love to kow more about the resort!!

Thanks all!!

Hi.  Have stayed at the Mavrias on four occasions now and going back again 18th May this year.  Kyriakos, Freddy and all the staff are the most lovely people and the apartments are just absolutely fine.  The location is fab too, as you are on the doorstep to everything. (Especially Paradise Bar, which is a 'Must visit' if you go to Tsilivi - you will never want to leave !!!)

Roll on 18th May for the first of this years visits - we just can't wait.  Hoping to see some regular faces again . 

Hello Samuel

I assume you have booked the Mavrias and not the Princess Hotel, as they are the same complex and enjoy all the same facilities. You do not need to go via the hotel reception to get to the apartments as they are built around the hotel.

Yes they are just down the road from Popeyes, by the new bakery just before Paradise Bar.

You will enjoy it here as all the staff are very helpful and friendly.

Hello everyone, I'm going back to Tsilivi but never stayed here before. Is this the place just down the road from Popeyes restaurant and if so what it is it like and has it got 24 hour reception in case I come back late from drinking and partying.

Hi Sophie,we were in Tsillivi Sept 07 we didn't stay here but i dont think you can go wrong where ever you go for a meal or a drink,the menus are all round about the same,we stayed at he Contessina hotel  which is at the other end of the main street from the Mavrias you could have a walk into the Contessina and try out the lovely pool,  we used a lot of the bars/restaurants the only one we thought was bad was the Mediterrane hotel the food was stone cold when they served it so we didn't go again the service wasn't to clever either.We ate at the Zeus/Menir/Popeyes/Giorgios pretty often we did use few more but as i say dont think you can go wrong where ever you go.Take a taxi to Zante town about 6-30 have a walk round till you see the restaurants getting busy then decide  where to eat, we went 3/4times for a meal some good places to eat there plus its a nice night out, i asked at the hotel where to eat in Zante town and they told us the best places to eat.Well i hope you have a great holiday i'am sure you will its a nice place Tsillivi.PS forgot to say we come to the Mavrias in Sept,you will have to post a comment for me to read when you come back.,  

Me and my boyfriend have just booked a holiday with thomas cook to these apartments. Can anyone tell me if its any good? I have paid extra money as we booked the last room for july and its a studio for 3 for under occupancy. i hope they give us the right room!!

Hi  Jane would just like to say thanks for your comments on these apartments,they have given us a good idea where they are,and what to expect when we arrive

Hi Alan,

yes they aren't far from popyes, 5 min walk or so. My parents loved it there too, they found their studio big enough for the 2 of them and they thought everyone was really friendly too. Have a great time!!

Hi,we have just booked these apartments for September 09,we have been to Tsilivi before but we are not sure where these apartments are or what they are like,we have booked into complex 3 can anyone give us any idea what to expect as regards to size of rooms-how often the rooms are cleaned etc,are there any facilities to make a cup of tea or coffee etc. Thanks for any information.

Got home yesterday from the most amazing week in Tsilivi. Stayed at the Mavrias 1 (Princess Hotel). Lovely little apartment, very clean and had everything to make the stay comfortable.

Thanks to all the staff at the Mavrias/Princess Hotel hope to see you all again  

Just came back from holiday after stopping at the Princess Hotel (Marvrias Apartments) excellent holiday just right for entertainment. Hotel staff was lovely very friendly, couldn't do enough for you especially Freddie and Tony and the young lady who worked by the pool. Hopefully going back next year!

stayed at princess hotel 1st may 08 what a fab little friendly hotel and team freddie, tony and vanessa who work day and night at the bar are so warm and welcoming this was our 1st time in tsilivi but will def go back to see them all again bakery is to die for check out the cheescakes and banoffeepie the smell all day makes sure you go an get some rooms are very modern and clean the bar and pool area have just had a major revamp and are v nice will def go next yr hopefully andy and amanda x   

just got back from these apartments. great place really central and lovly pool we went with our 3 year old son and pool was great for him as quite shallow so he could touch the floor until the middle.

we had a pool view and room was clean and very well equipit, would def go back again this was our 5 time to tsilivi but our 1st time at these apartments and these our the best we've stayed it .

Hi To Everyone at the Mavrias Apartments.  This was our sixth time in Tsilivi and first time staying here. Let me thank all the staff who were friendly and extremely helpful for a wonderful time. I would recommend these apartments to anyone, they are kept clean, the pool and bar are excellent and accommodaition is of a very high standard. Will definately be returning. The locality is right in the centre of Tsilvi and yet set back slightly so no noise at all. With the added benefit of a beautiful bakery right next to the complex what more could you ask for?  Once again would like to thank all the staff for a great time.

This is probably a bit late for your Stephen but you can book these through Cosmos.

Thanks Gerry for the info. Just out of curiousity, what tour operators go there. I've looked on all the main one's that I can think of, but no one seem to list these apartments.

Have stayed at Mavrias many times,and never been bothered by noise some rooms are near road but no noisy bars around this part of the village,most rooms are set back.Always good mix of guests not an18-30 small and friendly ,excellent location well kept by friendly owners and staff.Having visited Tsilivi many times and stayed in various parts and differnt accomadation The Mavrias in my opinion is second to none.  

We have stayed in Tsilivi many times but never in the centre of town or at the Mavrias Village Apartments. Can any one tell me how quiet the area is at night. Can you hear  the bars and clubs near by into the early hours or is the complex set back far enough to block it out?

We enjoy the area like everyone but it's nice to be able to get some sleep at night

Also, what age group stay there. We are in our mid to late forties so don't want to end up somewhere that resembles club 18-30

Hi linda and family been to zante a few times great place, tsilivi beach is great. See you on your second week , you can easily spot us , we will be pale and sober.

Hi again!

 Going on 8th July for two weeks,have stayed in Mavrias a few times and can assure you the complex is fantastic.The owners Babis and Dima have become friends,I am sure you  will enjoy these appartments,if you require any info please feel free to contact me. 

Got back from our stay at Mavrias Village on 5 October 2006, the apartments were lovely and very clean, kept that way by the daily maid service.  Kyriakos, the owner, picked us up from the airport and drove us straight to the apartment showing us the best places to go for hiring scooters etc along the way.  As soon as we reached Mavrias and the Princess Hotel we were greeted by Freddie who was an absolute diamond and soon were firm friends.  Tsilivi is a fantastic resort and without doubt I think Mavrias/Princess Hotel must be one of the best places to stay, right in the heart of everything.  The apartment was well insulated from the noise of the road and the only thing that woke us was the cockrel in the garden behind. Met some great people too. We would recommend Mavrias to anyone, it truly was a perfect holiday with no complaints whatsoever.  Was so sad to leave and whoever goes there next say hello to Freddie from Mr Gary and Sheryl, we will definitely be back!

had a good time at mavrias freddie behind the bar was really welcoming and we would go again its a nice place.

Deborah, it's a nice 10 minute stroll to the beach. If you don't already know Mavrias is on the same complex as the Princess Hotel so you will also have all their facilities as well. Great place to stay.

If you remember say hello to Fredde for me (Billy) and I hope to be back in September.

going to mavrias in a week we usually go to lagana this will be our first time in tsilivi is it close to the beach?? I love zante so hope the mavrias don't let me down!!

Liz. I was out there in June. What I believe was the oldest block had been completly renewed so you should be ok.

hello all at princess hotel - especially our friend freddie.

the staff were excellent , customers service, cleansiness superb .

whilst we stayed at the princess hotel, freddie and the team were superb.  we enjoyed the greek way of life, they made you feel so welcome and relaxed.  they must think us brits as crazy - they way we always rush around.  for example: when you go for a meal they expect you stay and enjoy wine, or their famous ouzo.  they can't understand why we go for a meal, want to eat all 3 courses in 20 minutes then get up and leave.

also you must try the 7* metaxa - a must for you brandy lovers !! and a visit to traffic bar - those boys with the horns are mad - and very entertaining. 

 

just 1 word of warning - when ordering shorts - their measures of a single are triples !! by my 3rd short - i was nearly plastered !! you have been warned

 

our only problem was when we got home we were sooooo chilled out - when we went to asda to do our shop we were nearly flattended by maniacs going 300mph with their trolley - (welcome home eh)

we would also recommend the majestic - their food was superb and delicious - plus they remembered us from 2 years earlier  (not sure if that was a good thing - lol   )

the staff on all the restaurants are never rude to you, should you decide not to eat in their taverna for the evening, they never pester you.

--To the last comment made by Mr shelley in Zante it is an tetonic movement zone surprisingly enough,  and the tremours can be triggered by temperature change which we did encounter late october. Maybe you should attend geography lessons and learn a little bit more about are world and what occurs in it, its not up to the rep or tour company to educate you in that, as it is a regular occurance in zante you should know your destination and were you are going you twit !.

Whilst the apartments, the staff (Hi Freddie) abd the pool were good,  the noise from the dogs barking all night is enought to put anyone off.

   Recently returned from Mavrias Village in Tsilivi. Some of our party stayed in block 3 - 13, which were lovely.  Make sure you don't get put in block 15-19.  These are disgusting.  Dark dirty smelly and not cleaned.  Definately go again to Mavrias but certain apartments need knocking down.   (Apartment 9 probably nicest)People very friendly.  Definately go next year but would need recommendation from cosmos that we are not allocated in block 15-19 or they can stick it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!    Richard (COSMOS REP) very friendly...not his fault.... problem lies with reservations.... village was full and he had to put us somewhere...this must be his worst nightmare... feel very sorry for the bloke

   Just got hame from a lovely holiday at the Mavrias Village in Tsilivi... Bar staff were wonderful.. First week unfortunately we were in apartment number 17.  It was small, dark, dirty and unlivable.  After complaining we were moved to apartment nunber 9 which was a different world.  Whover goes make sure you do not get put into apartments 14 to 19.  This is the only old block on site.  WE WOULD DEFINATELY GO BACK TO MAVRIAS VILLAGE AGAIN.. BUT WE WOULD NEED A GUARANTEE FROM COSMOS THAT WE WERE NOT PUT IN 'THAT' BLOCK

Hiya, am staying at the Mavrias apartments, booked a late deal and staying in a Studio. There are 3 of us, can anyone tell me what the Studios are like. Did you find them spacious/small/clean etc? what is the sleeping arrangments like? also do they have air con? I have also been told you can't flush toilet roll down the loo and need to put in bins, is this true?? thanks in advance for any info!!

I got married in Tsilivi, Zante in June this year and was accompanied by 23 guests.  I think everyone who went would agree with me that it was one of the best holidays that we had ever experienced.  The resort was great, loads of great bars and restaurants, all full of atmosphere and offering great service.  There was great watersports at the beach and we enjoyed some lovely excursions around the island. Even better, was our choice to stay at the Mavrias Village.  We were all made so welcome and the staff were incredibly accomodating in their service, especially Freddie who we all just wanted to take home with us.

Just returned from a stay at the Mavias Village. If you like being woken up by shouting Greek families at 7am this is the place to stay. The Cosmos rep Richard waste of space god knows how he got his job. Loved Freddie in the bar he made it bearable but wouldn;t stay again and wouldn't mind a refund from Cosmos. 

we as a family are looking to go to tsilivi end of sept to beginning of oct but a friend has said every where will b shut due to end of season, {no ice creams little to drink or even eat ] could someone please advise thankyou

MY WIFE PENNY AND I HAVE RECENTLY RETURNED FROM A GREAT HOLIDAY AT THE MAVRIAS VILLAGE OUR STUDIO NO.9 WAS ONE OF THE BEST WE HAVE HAD IN THE GREEK ISLANDS.LOCATION IS EXCELLENT FOR BEACH,BARS AND RESTAURANTS IN TSILIVI.FREDY AT THE POOLSIDE BAR IS A TOPMAN!!
