I returned from a week in Zante today, and I have to say that both myself and my boyfriend felt this trip is overrated. No-one got to steer the boat, although a couple of people did get to sit on the front of the boat. I felt Spiros was trying to be funny and therefore wasn't. I am 17 and my boyfriend is 21, which may have been a factor. However, my boyfriend felt Spiros was being quite rude to him, to get laughs.
The shipwreck is beautiful, and the blue caves are good too. I just think that the stop at the taverna (incidentally, the view may be good but the chips were awful!) is a way to get money for the locals and of no benefit to us. The trip did get a tad boring after a while too and I think 35 euros is a bit expensive.
During our week, we went on the turtle trek organised by Dionisis tours, with Graham. This was by far superior to this excursion. In my opinion, this trip is severely over-rated and I would recommend other trips over this one.

Maybe your trip was just lucky but no-one drove the speedboat on ours. And also, the person whose fiance swam with the turtle, they are an endangered species. On our turtle trek, the guide (a member of the protection society) would have been horrified. You're not supposed to get that close to them or they can become distressed. Maybe you didn't swim very close to them but I feel that is a bit bad you were allowed off the boat with the turtles.
We were only near the turtles for only a short time and got to see 3. As soon as more than 2 boats were near them, we left, so as not to disturb them too much. It's the turtles time for relaxation and they need to rest. I'm sure it was great experience, but not too good for the well-being of the turtles.

This was the best bar we went to. George and Nicos are crazy! They made us feel really welcome, and let me shake the cocktails a few times! They give out free shots and the cocktails are gorgeous! Loved this bar and would definitely go back if we ever came to Tsilivi again.
We love you George and Nicos! Sex on the bar!

First off, spell my name right (Fiona ALLAN), and secondly, can I have an opinion? You all thought it was great, fine, but don't attack me for my view. I may be 17, but I am entitled to an opinion, just like you.

My boyfriend and I recently stayed in Callinica 2 for 1 week and found it to be a great base for our holiday. We weren't expecting a lot, but it had a good balcony and a great sea view. The apartment was a good size and, although it was basic, we were happy with it. I would recommend it, as it is only a 10-15 minute walk to the centre of Tsilivi, and is very close to a cluster of bars and restaurants (Planos). The beach is lovely and we walked along Bouka Beach to Tsilivi, which is a lovely way to get from A to B.

Excuse me, how dare you call me a prat? And for the record, no I'm not spoilt. I didn't like the chips is all I meant! I thought my original comment was clear, but all I meant was I didn't really think the trip was all it was cracked up to be! My opinion is as valid as yours. I think you are just plain rude.

I don't understand why people think the internet gives them the right to be insulting to other people. Fiona and I (her boyfriend) didn't enjoy the trip. I found it rather boring, sorry if for some reason that offends anyone even though I can't see why it should. I thought Spiros was a little bit rude to me to make everyone else laugh. But if you guys enjoyed it thats great! We were just saying that we didn't it may have something to do with our ages Fiona is 17 and i'm 22. So are you going to call me spoilt for not enjoying the trip as well?
