Just back from Tsilivi where we had a great holiday. Metaxi Mas stood head and shoulders above the rest of the eateries (which were all pretty good and decent value for money). We ate three times at Metaxi Mas and it was the only retaurant we went back to. On holiday I like variety, to try things that I've never tried before, so for me to return to the same restaurant even once is praise indeed. And I returned to Metaxi Mas twice! On our first visit we selected a 'variety' plate for 2 which give a little bit of several traditional Greek dishes - enough for 2 adults for about 18euros. Extensive menu with plenty for kids (and mine are particularly fussy eaters). Service is first class - the staff are attentive without being invasive; will chat with you just enough without pestering you during your meal. Well done Metaxi Mas
Sandra's bar is the most welcoming of places with waving, calling out and even blowing a carhorn to passers by. They score huge on enthusiasm. But there is no class/ style/ professionalism. It actually becomes embarassing to walk past. If I could have found another route into Tsilivi (we stayed at Filoxenia which is just outside the village) I would have walked an extra mile to avoid the place. Great fun if you have no taste.
The cleanest / best maid service of any Med package holiday hotel I've ever stayed in. New towels and bedding every other day, cleaned every day. A bit of a trek into Tsilivi (15mins to centre, half hour to beach at an easy walking pace) There are two buildings and our apartment was within the main unit including the bar which did make it a bit noisy in the evening and into the night. However, overall superb and I'd recommend it to anyone - especially families.
