Just returned from 2 weeks in Tsilivi, fantasticly hot weather right
through culminating in a thunder storm on the last evening. Phoenix
Beach Hotel was terrific - clean, friendly staff and guests, great
pool which our toddler and baby both loved. Beach is zero meters away,
with shallow, clear and warm sea - ideal for kids. Lovely views.
Tsilivi tavernas are way too expensive compared to recent hols in
Kefalonia - made London prices look cheap! Beer up to 3 Euros per
pint! Food quality is only average as well, so not good value for
money. Exception is Trente Nova, which has good food, quiet location,
popular, and proper hygiene (also generally in short supply). Moby
Dicks has great playground for toddlers adjacent to beach.
A new hotel next to Phoenix Beach was about to admit its first guests
the day we left, which will house 400 Germans. Make your own mind up
on that! Shame because we felt there was a nice mix of Euro-folk which
could become too germanic - towels a

Just returned from 2 weeks of glorious weather, Phoenix Beach was
terrific - clean, friendly, great pool and pool bar - although
expensive. Best Greek breakfast we have had in spite of other people's
comments - not sure about the tinned peaches and condensed milk
though! Shame about the new massive hotel next door which was about to
admit its first guests the day we left. We don't think the beach has
the capacity for the extra 400 people. Also, we heared they are all
German - shame because there was a balanced Euro-mix around the beach.
Hotel was very suitable for our toddler and baby and quiet at night.
