My boyfriend and I are going to Tsilivi on TUESDAY! We are staying at the Alamis Apts. We are hoping for a nice sandy beach,plenty of places to drink in that are more lively bars rather than nightclubs and some decent restaurants. Any particular favourites I should keep an eye out for? Mandy

thanks warren! i am sure as long as it doesn't p**s down with rain i will be happy - just as long as i can get intoxicated, eat big and get a bit of sun! i'll write my opinion here when i get back!

Warren or any other person out there - just read the weather forecast for Tuesday (the day we arrive) and its not good - 68 degrees and showers! In anyone's experience how long does this last?! Is Zante due for a week of downpours?! HELP!

My boyfriend and I have just returned from a week in Tsilvi at the Alamis apartments and we had a fantastic time. The rooms were simple but very clean and we had no complaints. As for the pool! I've never seen one so clear and clean! Everything about these apartments was first class and I wish we were still there!! It is about 2 mins walk to the beach and about 1 minute's walk to the main street of the town - everything is basically on your doorstep! Hope you have as a great a time as we did!!

My boyfriend (hope you remember the man you thought was Nicolas Cage!!) and I loved this pub and spent every night of our holiday propping up the bar. The staff were great, a big hello to Yiannis (thanks for all the free cocktails although I wasn't thanking you in the mornings!) and the boys!! We had a fantastic time - Tsilivi is the best.

We loved this restaurant, it was traditionally Greek and the dancing and mandolin playing on a Tuesday was well worth seeing! The food was superb, so much so, having said we were going to eat somewhere different every night we decided to go back to Koukos on our last night in Tsilivi. We weren't disappointed!

Just to add to my review of the Alamis - a big hello to Nick the Barman and Natalie the Rep from probably the only woman to have a lens of her spectacles pop out during the vigourous pool side games!!!! Still, at least we won!! Balloons are an essential in our bedroom now!

We went to Tsilivi for a week from 19th June and it was great - weather was hot (any hotter and we would have melted) but there was a welcome breeze. Lots of greenery and flowers, lots more bars and nice restaurants (litre of wine with every meal became an essential!), Alamis apartments were fantastic, Red Lion pub was the best bar with the best staff (you must try Yiannis lethal doses of Metaxa!)and basically we would recommend Zante and in particular Tsilivi to anyone and everyone - you will have a fantastic holiday!
