Daphne Studios - (Accommodation in Tsilivi)

Clive E           

We stayed between 16th - 23rd September. These apartments are excellent. takis & family who owns the apartments are great. we stayed in the new building. when we got there we went into are room to find it spotless, very clean indeed. to have a bar and pool in the apartments complex was brilliant, the barman (adonis) is a great person, friendly, and has good english. Greek Night which they held is a must, but don't drink to much of the local wine Hehe. The apartments in my opinion are situated in a great area they are right at the end of the main road leading to the beach which is about 10-15 minute walk. This also means its not as loud as it would be if you were completally in the centre. These apartments come highly recommended by me and my girlfriend.Bad points:
1. The showers have no hook on the wall so you have to sort of wash with one hand while holding the shower with the other. Also theres no shower curtain so the bathrooms absoulutly covered in water which also makes it very slippery.
2. You have to be out of your room by 12.00 midday. We knew of one bloke who had to be out at 12 and his flight was not until 3.00 am the next morning.

Levante Speedboat Trip - (Zante Excursions)

Clive E           

We recommend this boat trip to anyone visiting tsilivi! Its a must do! The trip only takes half a day so you still have the afternoon to go on the beach etc. You visit the shipwreck and the blue caves. You acually go right into the caves unlike the big boats which are miles away. Also you can jump in for a swim. On the journey we saw dolphins, a turtle and a shark (in-flatable) hehe! Spiros the captain is a very nice man and very informative. What ever you do dont book any of the shipwreck/blue cave trips through travel shops or reps as you will get a horribly big boat and you wont see anything. the trip costs 35 euros and is worth the money.this was the best day we had on our hol!

Day trip to Olympia - (Zante Excursions)

Clive E           

this trip is to the birth place of the olympics. we booked this with our rep and cost 40 euros only 5 more than the travel shops and you get your money back if the trip is cancelled. we got picked up at tsilivi at 6.50 (but it didnt come till 7.10) and got back at 6.30 pm. the worst parts about the trip is the travelling on the boat to the mainland which takes 1 hour and a half and then the bus journey to olympia which take an hour and ten mins. if it wasn't for the guide this trip wouldn't be good, he walks and talks you around the ruins and you get half an hour free time at the end to look around. after this you get about 2 hours to look around the shops and have something to eat. in our opinion this was too long. we did enjoy this trip it was very interesting and informative. we would recommend.

Laganas Resort - (Resorts in Zante)

Clive E           

basicly this place has no charm and is not traditional at all. one girl who worked there said its like blackpool but hot...i agree. one thing we did not like about this place is that just about every one who works in this resort is english. we went on holiday to experience a different culture and traditions not to go on holiday to a sunny england, but if thats what you like then you will love this place. for shopping this place has tons of tacky shops that sell everything from booze to fake designer gear. we quite enjoyed the shops. theres this one road which goes something like this.....tacky shop,bar,tacky shop,mcdonalds,nightclub,tacky shop,kfc,tacky shop. we are not slagging the place off just telling you the way it is and our personal opinions. i can see the attraction of this place. this place is ideal for single young people who want to have crazy pissed up nights and try to s**g as many people as they can. good for single people bad for couples,families and older people. so if you are young and normally enjoy going clubbing getting rat a**ed and trying to get the oposite sex into bed then you are going have a great wild time.
