Dennis Bar - (Bars in Tsilivi)

Ken B           

Just a few drunks tormenting the parrot. No prices displayed anywhere. Avoid.

Valantinas Castle - (Restaurants in Tsilivi)

Ken B           

Simply the best. No football. Relaxed, the perfect spot to chill out. A vast array of cocktails and a you-name-it-we-make-it policy. Customer care of the highest standard. Not so easy to find, down a lane past the Mandarin. Don't tell too many people, keep it to yourself.

Contessina - (Restaurants in Tsilivi)

Ken B           

Tinned ingredients throughout, staff surly and slow. A no-no.

Majestic - (Restaurants in Tsilivi)

Ken B           

Quite pleasant surroundings, welcoming staff, good food at reasonable prices. Worth a try.

Nemesis - (Restaurants in Tsilivi)

Ken B  (28 August 2001)         

Very nice, prompt and helpful service and the food was excellent.

Pieros - (Restaurants in Tsilivi)

Ken B           

The same standard as many others, but significantly more expensive.

Popeyes - (Restaurants in Tsilivi)

Ken B           

If you like British food, made from British ingredients, in British company, at British prices, with a long British queue to get in, this is the place for you. Just answer me one question- Why are you in Greece?

Tsilivi Taverna - (Restaurants in Tsilivi)

Ken B  (28 August 2001)         

Good value Greek cuisine, in pleasant surroundings. Service can become a bit slow at peak times but it is well worth the wait. Enjoy.

Dionysos Taverna - (Restaurants in Tsilivi)

Ken B           

Excellent. Greek food at its best. Sufficiently far out of town to be quiet. Friendly and attentive staff whose recommendations are to be followed. By far and away the best food and value in Tsivili.

Blue Caves and Shipwreck Cruise - (Zante Excursions)

Ken B           

Hire a car and drive. Be sure to arrive before midday. Take one of the small local boats that are able to take you right inside the caves- not simply through the arch. In one of the smaller caves you will see the true "blue cave" effect - stunning. Otherwise you will simply be looking at a cliff and a cave from afar.

Day trip to Olympia - (Zante Excursions)

Ken B           

It is a full day trip. From your resort to the ferry (departs at 8am). One and a half hours on the ferry. 50 mins on the bus and then three hours at the museum and site. Followed by an hour for lunch and shopping time. Theoretically you return on the 5pm ferry, but do not expect it to depart on time. The site can become crowded and it will be hot, but this is an experience not to be missed. Expect to pay £15-20 on the street and anything up to double that from your Rep.

Zakfari Jeep Safari - (Zante Excursions)

Ken B  (28 August 2001)         

From visiting this site before our holiday this was to be one of the highlights. It seems very popular as there was only one available date in the three dates we offered (at a minimum of 5 days notice. We booked via Flocas Travel Agency (Holiday Autos, by the Reportage Bar, Tsivili. Turning up at the appointed time, we waited an hour, one jeep passed fully laden, a second appeared with space only for the family of four waiting with us. Telephone calls produced the news that we were double-booked, and the day was ruined. Whilst our money was returned, no alternative dates were available, and we seem to have missed out on an excellent experience. Perhaps Zakfari would like to comment on how others might avoid this disappointment.

Thanks for your prompt reply and kind offer. I hope my comments and your reply will be helpful to others. As I suspected, it was not Zakfari's fault. Good luck, may you continue to be fully booked! Ken
