Stamnes Taverna - (Restaurants in Tsilivi)

Great service,food and price,(one of the few places you visit where the bill is something like you've added it up to in your head before it comes).Went there four times in our fortnight with fussy kids so can't be bad!

Blue Caves and Shipwreck Cruise - (Zante Excursions)

DELFINI.Remember it and avoid this boat.When we booked up for this, the lady showed us a flyer with a very impressive looking "2 year old boat".She also showed us a picture of an equally impressive air conditioned double decked coach which would pick us up from Tsilivi at 8.45am.
So at 9.10 the bag of nails comes to pick us all up,but minus the upper deck and the extra thirty seats required for us all.Call me picky but when I pay for a seat,I WANT ONE.
We were the last coach to arrive at the boat,ten years old if a day, and not the one on the picture, so were stuck with the wooden benches over the engine,on the bottom deck, just great for the kids. I had seen this boat heading out on the previous days trip whilst sitting on Tsilivi beach pumping out black smoke and had joked to my wife "I'm glad were not on that tomorrow"."D'oh"!!
Locations visited are equally stunning regardless of what boat you are on so make sure you dont go on this one.To top it off the captain played "traditional greek music" over the speakers.Now I love a bit of culture, but this skull cracking din sounded like someone shouting into a loudhailer trying to incite a crowd to riot. My nine year old daughter refused to use the toilet for the whole eight hour trip becase they were an utter disgrace and had blatantly not been cleaned for God knows how long.
DELFINI.DON'T GO THERE!!!!

Just back from a great holiday here,great poolside atmosphere,great guys behind bar,great weather 37-40 every day,bit pricey at poolside bar, but regularly given freebies by our mate Memis,Bouka beach 2 mins walk, good but bit tricky for young kids cos o pebbles,main beach 10 mins walk round seafront clean and shallow for a long way out, but quiete narrow.
In all great place to stay and would reccommend to anyone with a family.

If you make sure you get a good boat it's a great day out, not to be missed, so don't get the Delfini.Stunning views, great swimming etc etc. Freeze some water and take it with you to save a small fortune. Superb swimming at the wreck and a truly stunning location.
