Returned to Tsilivi for the first time in 13 years. This has gone from a quiet resort to a moderately busy one. But this I think is for the better. There is more choice of eating places and prices are reasonable considering it is now the Euro and not the Drachma. Drinks are pricey but aren't they everywhere. Cheap in the supermarkets for the drink on your balcony. if you get fed up with Greek food or the kids won't eat it, try Faulty Towers English taverna--English staff and all English meals, just off the main street. If you want a resort with plenty of eating places, not too busy, a good beach, safe swimming, you can't go wrong with Tsilivi and there's plenty of quiet accomodation just out of the town area. If you like shopping you will have to go into Zante town a short bus ride away.

In reply to Jules Mack--yes it is busy at The Amyrilis apartments, your in the centre of the town. I stayed there 13 years ago and it was noisy then. The plus side is your near eveything and the apartments are excellent. If you enjoy the resort and want to return sometime try Sophia apartments in Manos brochure, they're in a nice quiet area and not far from the beach or the resort centre. Don't worry about the noise you'll enjoy Tsilivi you haven't got thumping discos about,or noisy music bars where you are staying.
