Christina Hotel - (Accommodation in Tsilivi)

Jo S           

Ten of us, of all ages have just spent a week at Christina Apartments and we had a good time. The apartments are basic but cleaned daily. We were in the older apartments and they were fine. Christina and her mother Sula showed me the new completed apartments and they are lovely. Whatever we wanted from the staff was never too much trouble and the whole family put themselves out to ensure we had a great time. Food, drink and conversation were available any time day or night. It's only 5 mins walk into Tsilivi and the beach and that's great 'cos you don't have the bars booming out all night but you can be into the resort really quickly. The beach bars are great. Parasols and tables and waited service all day long. Check out the fun at Tsilivi water sports, we tried them all!
Most accomodation in Greece can be basic but always clean and the Greeks were fab. Christina's pool and pool bar were always quiet and beautifully cared for, but be careful of Sula's tortoise which is often resident in the bar! If you go you will have great fun, and Christina and her family will really look after you. Beware though, Christina is only 25 although she looks a little older. Don't offend, I had to do some really fast talking when I suggested she was about 30!! Would definitely go back. Never saw a mouse or a bug, only the tortoise.

Mavratzi Beach - (Beaches in Zante)

We booked into the Louis complex above Mavratzi as a last minute deal.
The beach was most certainly not as advertised within the travel brochure. It was not clean, it was TINY and we went in Sept. Can't imagine it in the peak season!
I truly believe it's imported sand and because it's so small the whole beach constantly stinks of the diesel from the watersports.
The sunbeds are so close together you could possibly get pregnant from the stranger lying next to you.
Don't go.
If you are reasonably mobile, climb the track at the end of the beach and walk to 3 lovely beaches within about 15 mins. The climb is a bit hard for 200 yrds or so then evens out.
We were party of 4 in our early 50's and we managed it!
