Yannis and Spiros are very entertaining and friendly,watch out for flying straws.Located near planos beach and very close to Alexandra beach hotel.
The hotel is really nice (much better than expected), it is very clean, it has friendly staff, the only downfall was the limited choice of food at breakfast time. The location is excellent for the beach, pool, shops, restaurants and the local bar (Try Kaliva, it's the best)
This is a place to avoid, there are many very good restaurants and bars in Tsilivi but unfortunately this isn't one of them. We went in the early evening when it wasn't very busy, by the time we left it was heaving but that was only because the service was so slow there was a backlog of people waiting for their food/drinks/plates to be cleared/bills etc. There were two people who looked like they should be waiting at tables although only one seemed to be doing anything at any one time (and that was at snails pace!) and at one point one of them went and sat at the bar not doing a thing whilst customers were waiting for service. The food was also pretty average. If you've come from the Alexandra Beach Hotel or the Caravel Hotel then keep walking and find somewhere better, they're not far away. However, if it's a snack you want just nip into Kaliva, a bar on the corner just opposite the Caravel Hotel, and they do great food with excellent service and a very relaxed atmosphere.
Very wide choice of food and what we had (after spending ages choosing!) was very good, the complimentary liquer at the end was an added bonus.
We have travelled with First Choice twice and on both occassions have found them to be excellent and would have no hesitation in using them again.
Well, we were going to do some watersports but when we saw the prices we changed our minds and by the amount of boats/jetskis etc sat in the water not being used, so did everyone else. A rough idea of price was approx £22 per person for 5-10 minutes parasailing and £18 for 10 minutes on a jetski. Very disappointing.
The beginning of June for us was great, not too busy and bearably hot. Mandy, look out for Kaliva , a bar at the Planos beach end of the town (on a corner near the Caravel Hotel and the Alexandra Beach Hotel). The men in this bar are completely bonkers and if you are friendly to them and spend time actually at the bar you will benefit. Avoid the Copacabana restaurant unless you have got all night to wait before you can finally finish your meal and go. Good places that we ate in were The Red Lion, The Troc, Premier Taverna, Popeyes, Stamnes and of course - Kaliva for snacks.
Oh yeah, also don't expect too much sand on the beaches, there is enough but not loads.
Any one tell us how the pup is?we were there beginning of june.how are yannis and spiros ?
