Tsilivi holidays

It’s easy to find cheap holidays in Tsilivi when you compare prices on TravelSupermarket. Read on to discover more about this sunny spot…

Located on the northeast coast of the beautiful Greek island of Zante, Tsilivi strikes an ideal balance between peaceful accommodation and lively nightlife. It is a great resort for fun-loving families, couples and groups and, while it does not compare to island party spot Laganas in terms of wild nightclubs and bars, Tsilivi still has plenty of energy when the sun goes down.

The island of Zante, which is also known as Zakynthos, is the most southerly of the Ionian island group. The group is located to the west of the mainland of Greece and is blessed with some of the best beaches in the nation. Just one look at Smuggler’s Cove (or Navagio/Shipwreck Beach) is enough to convince you of this fact: sands and cliff faces of pure white, azure waters that dazzle in their clarity, and a pesto-coloured coating of trees that seem to cling to the rock… this island beach is one compelling reason to book Tsilivi holidays.

The long beach within the resort of Tsilivi itself has won a Blue Flag for is pristine sands and clear waters. There are sun loungers for hire and water sports to have a go at, as well as quiet spots where you can simply lay down your towel and sprawl in peace on those long, hot summer afternoons.

Family holidays in Tsilivi are a joy. There is a new water park in the resort, as well as mini golf and 10-pin bowling. International restaurants with varied and well-priced menus cater for a wide range of tastes, so even the fussiest of eaters will leave satisfied.

In Tsilivi, all-inclusive holidays are a popular option, with a generous number of three-and four-star hotels catering for guests around the clock. If you are after cheap Tsilivi holidays, you can find bargain prices on all-inclusive accommodation, as well as cheap package deals for hotels that offer board on a self-catering or bed-and-breakfast basis. Think about how you would like to spend your time in Tsilivi and whether you like to explore the local restaurant scene before you make up your mind about which hotel to pick. You don’t have to worry too much about day-to-day spending on all-inclusive breaks, but if you like to eat out and experience the local hospitality you might not get the full value of an all-inclusive stay.

Loggerhead turtle nesting season; peaks June-September: Tread carefully as you explore the sands of Laganas Bay in the south of Zante (a 30-minute drive from Tsilivi) as these beaches are nesting sites for the majority of the European population of loggerhead turtles. To protect the creatures, parts of the beaches are off limits, while volunteers will guide visitors around some of the accessible spots. If you’re lucky, you might even see one hatch.

The Feast of the Assumption of Mary; August 15: A major religious holiday across all of Greece, stay in Tsilivi for feasting and dancing or journey to the nearby villages of Vassilikos or Katastari for the kind of full-blown feasting that the Greeks are famous for.

Wine Festival August-September:  Taste the splendid local wines at this annual celebration in the island’s capital of Zante Town/Zakynthos Town.

Laughs and giggles with the family or quiet time with your loved one, Tsilivi can cater for a range of holiday tastes….

Kids and teens: Rides and slides provide the screams while the lazy river meanders peacefully around the site of the Tsilivi Waterpark, which is centrally located.

Shopping: Zante Town is a few miles down the road (a 15-minute car or bus journey) and provides plentiful spending opportunities. The main street is home to a cluster of shops selling a variety of items, from jewellery and clothes to island souvenirs. Get lost along the side streets too for more stores and stalls.

Nightlife: Laganas is the nightclub capital of Zante. While Tsilivi has a couple of clubs, evenings here are mostly spent in lively theme bars – you will quickly find your favourite during a holiday in Tsilivi.
