Trenta Nove - (Restaurants in Tsilivi)

Deb H           

We visited May 2002. Apologies for the late input onto the site, however I have to say it was one of the best restaurants my hubby and I had been in - we've done a hell of a lot of the Greek island and would find it hard to compare other eateries with the service, food quality and surrounding offered at Trente Nove. The waiters were absolutely fabulous - they worked like trojans without looking hassled. The food arrived timely, every time, and believe me when you're married to the head chef of a convention centre, eating out can be a nightmare! We were so pleased to discover Trente Nova and wish them the success they deserve for the coming Summer season (we're planning another visit!! - hope to see you very soon).

Phoenix Beach Hotel - (Accommodation in Tsilivi)

Well I have to say this was a real find for us - we stayed last year and are in regular contact with a couple who fly out twice a year to stay. George and his lovely wife Anna ensure every attention to detail is looked after. Our experience was that the hotel is spotless from top to tail and I agree with a comment below that the maids were sometimes a bit too eager (don't think we can really criticise that though!?!?!). The food at the bar was always excellent and, being married to a Head Chef, we had no complaints in the food dept whatsoever. I would agree that the breakfast could do with a bit of "brightening" but then buffet breakfasts abroad are usually the basics - it was fab for me but hubby could have murdered some bacon and eggs!!! We also discovered the fabulous Trente Nova Restaurant at the back of the hotel and to the right - absolutely superb service and food - do try it! We're planning another visit later in the year both to the hotel and certainly to frequent the wonderful home cooking at Trente Nova. For a spot of "inland" visiting, try finding "Aghia Mavra" church - I was very moved when I visited - a spectacular church perched in a small village. Good luck to George, Anna and the staff at Phoenix Beach for a successful and prosperous 2003, and also to all the lovely local people we met on our travels.
