St Denis Apartments - (Accommodation in Tsilivi)

Ruth F           

I have just returned from St Dennis apt and am afraid have to agree with all negative comments about the mangers. Toli and Vanda (is that her name) are the most unpleasant people I have ever come across as hotel managers. If you have the wrong accent ie not Southern then you are treated like SCUM. They are ruining this place for the owners and I urge them to get rid ASAP. Our '1 bed apt'  K2 in the block at the front was lovely, but not a coventional apt ie not sep room, but a wall part way across so no good for 2 couples (K3 also) K5 is a proper 1 bed tho and very nice. This block is new and DG kept any noise out so suggest light sleepers request these. No problems whatsoever with the 'apt'  & best apts I have stayed in 20yrs of visiting Greece . The pool is too deep for me and not long enough for serious swimmers. Its not that clean, I saw v large dead spider on the bottom on our last day. I only went in once! They keep it heavily chlorinated to save themselves the hassle of cleaning it. Onsite supermaket has to be  a complete and utter rip off dont use it. There is one -Tom and Jons which is huge 50yds away down the road to the beach I only bought water at ours. On arrival the grumpy Tolis gave our party of 4 (36-48yr olds !) a stern lecture on pool ettiquette, which I found unecessary and offsensive. He and wife are the rudest people EVER! I personally wouldnt go there again because of those 2.

Levante Speedboat Trip - (Zante Excursions)

If you go to Tsilivi please DO THIS TRIP. It is fantastic. The best value for money. Cpt Spyros is v funny, Likes to let all us girls have a go at driving the boat - sorry guys U wont get a go. You get to visit smugglers wreck v early with maybe only one other sml boat so not many people on the beach..  I took lots of photos of the wreck which I think is stunning. Or you can go 4 swim. We were there long enough but not too long. Then you go inside the caves which is not possible on big boats without getting onto a smaller boat. The colour of the water and the rocks are amazing. We couldnt swim in the caves due to weather conditions, but I didnt care. He takes you to a samll harbour where you can get a bite to eat before sailing back to Tsilivi for 1ish, so no sunbathing lost. Too book either do it with ian on the beach or at Levante shop which is just round the corner from Tom and Jons supermarket  going upto Popeyes.
