Got back from 2 weeks in Tsilivi last weekend & stayed in a studio in the Filoxenia. It definitely surpassed my expectations. Our room was cleaned everyday & the pool cleaned every evening. The entire complex was very clean.
All the staff there were extremely friendly & helpful. The mini-market had quite a good range, although it was somewhat more expensive than the larger superemarkets in the resort centre.
The bar was quiet most evenings, except for Fridays when it livened up a bit for karaoke. The snack bar served a fairly good range of food and the prices were quite reasonable.
The main gripe I have about Filoxenia is its distance from the town. In the holiday brochure it was described as a 10 minute walk into the resort centre. If one walked briskly you might just reach the outskirts of the town in 10 minutes, but it took at least 20 minutes to get as far as the centre. To make matters worse, you were taking your life in your hands for the first 5 minutes of the walk as there's no footpath and we had to dodge lunatic drivers and psychos who zoomed around corners on mopeds. The beach was even more of a trek, so like many people we stayed by the pool.
Despite planes flying over at all hours the complex was very quiet & the only noise at night was a few noisy mopeds revving by.
Families and couples in their 20s/30s made up the majority of the guests staying there.
All in all, the Filoxenia is a lovely, quiet, clean complex, ideal for a relaxing holiday.

OK,how is everyone else raving about this place?? First of all, it's so out of the way and then all the times we actually bothered heading up there the place was E M P T Y!!! It sucked!! Music didn't sound great and it was 20 euro to get in-madness!! There was nobody dancing and only about 5 people standing around the bar looking bored. Maybe it's better at the peak of the season...........?

Popeyes looked really busy every evening, so that had to be a good sign. We only went there once, but had fully intended to go back. Staff were all very friendly, even if one of the waiters did get a bit confused and thought we were from Holland, instead of Ireland. It was really funny as he asked whether we lived near to or far away from Amsterdam, we didn't have the heart to point out his mistake, so just said we lived "really far away" from Amsterdam!!
Food was lovely, very generous portions, although they seemed to have a slight obsession with cloves...?!!

Got back from a 2 week holiday in Tsilivi last weekend and I definitely recommend it. I stayed in the Filoxenia apts, which were about a 20 minute walk from the resort centre, but were lovely- very clean & quiet, with friendly staff.
The resort was pretty quiet, because of the time of year, so the nightlife wasn't great. On the plus side, it was always easy to find seats in any of the bars.THAT bar was one of the best pubs we went to,music was pretty good, reasonably priced drinks.A bar that just has to be mentioned for its silliness is Tizzys,just across the road from Athena restaurant. We never actually went in there, but it certainly caught our eye!! The sign above the door said "English bar", but one Thursday night, it had a bit of an identity crisis and covered up the sign with an Irish tricolour, put on a Dubliners CD & put up a "Céad Míle Fáilte" sign (spelled incorrectly!!) It was very funny-obviously there had been an influx of Irish tourists that day!!
Went to a good few different restaurants, but can't remember the names of most of them. No complaints about any of them anyway, lovely food and so much cheaper than at home. Oh yeah, and almost all of them had at least one cute waiter!! :-) Popeyes, Contessina and Athena are the only three whose names I can remember and they were all lovely. Athena has got to be mentioned-great food & VERY friendly staff. (Hello George!!!) We went there early on in the holiday and every night after as we walked by we were asked back in. We went back there on our last night and again the waiters were extremely friendly-my friend & I got a lot of attention from 2 in particular. (Antonio & I didn't quite catch the other guy's name) They seemed very disappointed when we asked for the bill and made to leave, trying to convince us to have some wine & wait around til they finished work!! No offence lads, but ye were a bit old for us!!
Only managed to get to the beach once (and that was at night!!) cos our apartments were so far from it, but it looked fine.
The shops were above the usual crappy souvenirs so prevalent in other resorts. Every shop always had at least a few nice things- ceramics, olive wood, etc.
I would definitely go back to Tsilivi and would recommend it to couples and families. There weren't many groups of young single people around when we were there (end of Aug/start of Sept), I don't know if this is the case earlier on in the season, but if you can live without really wild nightlife I recommend it-a good place to just relax.
