Great time to go. Nice and hot during the day (30 deg +) but cool enough at night to have a good nights sleep. Tsivili beach was fairly quiet, as were most restaurants and bars - no queing anywhere - except at the airport to come home!!

Don't rely on your cash cards and the bank machines. They are often out of order, although the one near Paradise Bar is Tsivili wasn't too bad. We ran out of cash and travellers cheques, and neither machine was working. Fortunately, we had some sterling which we changed to euros in our hotel.

Agreed also! We had two fantastic meals here, both traditional Greek food which seems to be their speciality. There was live music being performed on the one night which made for an extra authentic atmosphere. It was recommended to us by the people who owned our hotel and how right they were! We particularly liked the mixed platter for two, including various meats, feta cheese, tzatziki, chips etc etc Yammas!
