My mum and me went on "Who is Carol" day. It was the highlight of our trip. Poor paul had a sore throat :'( but that didnt stop him telling wierd tales. Totally true of course!!!! You wouldnt have been able to see the beautiful views in any other way. I definately recommend it and any "moody" teenagers will love this trip. And buyin ice creams last minute on the last stop BIG MISTAKE! The drivers were sponatiously funny and didnt seem like bored tour guides like most do, they look like they thoroughly enjoyed themselves, but i would if i had their jobs. There is sooo much more to say because it was sooo good but i dont want to spoil it for you. Three words, GO GO GO!!
Im going to be honest, i didnt really like the beach at Tsilivi, the sand was lovely and fine, the sea was warm and the whole beach was clean but it was totally covered with thousands of sun loungers. Its fair that you have to pay for the loungers but there is virtually no other room on the beach for you to spread out a towel on the sand so it meant that if you didnt want to pay then you couldnt go out on the beach during the day. i went out at night and walked along in thw water which was lovely but i still would have wanted to be on the beach during the day. The rest of the resort was lovely with many many bars restaurants and tavernas.
Well hate is a very strong word but i would never go back their again. i stayed at the Tsilivi beach hotel. i didnt like the beach particularly and all of the bars were virtually on top of each other in the town. and the beach was sooo crowded. all of the people that love it are obviously easily satisfied. it doesnt take much to satisfy me but the only thing i liked was the Zakfari and staying in the room at night. the pools were nice but obviously not cleaned out very often as you could see the grease on the surface. There were far too many sun loungers. however i do have something nice to say. the room was kept very clean, the bar staff were lovely, (and not bad looking) and the reception staff were brilliant.
just wondering if anyone knew that at one time only 3 people were allowed on there at a time ,it isnt actually sturdy and it was built illegally. I wouldnt risk my life on there! i saw it from the other side of the mountain and you can see that it isnt sturdy and you get a better view as well.
