This is the one trip that everyone must to do if they come to Tsilivi. Capt Spiros and his friend are so helpful and friendly. As soon as we left the harbour my two girls aged 5 and 7 got to steer the boat (literally he just let go of the wheel!) and he made everyone clap them. We got to the shipwreck by 0915 and Spiros was constantly checking the weather and conditions with the coastguard so we got the most from the trip. We stopped at a nice little taverna for lunch and went in the blue caves on the way back. Spiros is such a laugh and knows what he's talking about and because there's only 24 on the boat everyone got on really well. The trip cost us 30 euros for adults and 15 for children. If you can't find Ian on the beach you can book through Tsilivi Travel Agency in Planos (same price). We would certainly do this trip again if we went back to Zante.

I think Mr Blaire must have gone to a different hotel to us. It was a great family hotel, situated close enough to the beach and bars for convenience. Our room was clean and tidy, the maid came in everyday and was so kind when our daughter was ill. The rooms are basic and functional but we really didn't spend that much time in them. The kids club was excellent, well run and with a good variety of activities. The Entertainment team were ok, didn't see alot of them really, and one of them was much more interested in certain guests (you know who you are!). The whole place was kept clean and the only down point was the muppet above our room who had their stereo on full blast for most of the second week. This is a good hotel for families and I would recommend it but I think couples or young people out for a party-time would find it boring.

Fortunately it was still shut down the whole time we were there (came back October 5th).

Having read all the comments we thought we would try the place out. It was ok if you like being packed in. The food was nice and the staff friendly but there are so many restaurants to choose from that we wouldn't go back to Popeyes again, even though our daughters did get a keyring each. Most other places were offering 10% off or free icecreams when we went and Popeyes did neither of those.

We loved this restaurant. Spiros lured our kids in on our first night and we were hooked. The food is great, gorgeous gyros and mezzes, the kids menu is good and they will do smaller versions of adult food if you want it. The staff are all very friendly (especially the english waitress who translated for us!) and Spiros is hilarious, dancing and singing in the street. We saw people virtually running past to avoid being dragged in!! We thought this was excellent value for money and went there several times. (One down point is the takeaway mezze - don't bother it wasn't that good.)

We wished we had found this bar earlier in our holiday. Everyone there is so kind and friendly. The food is excellent and good value for money. We ate there several times just because it was so relaxing sitting next to the beach eating your dinner. We were never rushed to leave and were told they close when the last person goes! Rory was so nice to our daughter who wasn't very well, making her marmite on toast to make her feel better! This is certainly one of the nicest bars in Tsilivi and the kids all love Freddie the dog as well. We ended up eating here more than any other place and hope to visit again some day. We never got an earthquake though Rory!!

We thought this place was ok. The staff were friendly, the food nice and the childrens play area was handy. What put us off in the evening was the huge screen with football on it and loads of people yelling at it - not really ideal for the kids.

My children were aged 5 and 7 when we went last September. They both loved the kids club and kids disco in the evening. The kids reps were excellent and the club was well run with activities most days. They also did evening parties in the club room until 9.30 pm and also a pyjama party until 11.00 pm. The room is safe and well equipped any I would definitely recommend it.

We went the last two weeks in September last year and had beautiful weather. The evenings start to cool off around 9.00 pm. We took cardigans and light jackets but never needed them. We found everywhere fairly reasonable and there are enough shops and restaurants to shop around if you need to.
