General information

Tsilivi Beach in Zakynthos: The shore of Tsilivi is a famous beach destination in Zakynthos, within a short distance from the island’s capital! This Blue-Flag-awarded shore is filled with sand and a handful of scattered pebbles, whereas its seabed is shallow, making it ideal for families with young children! The beach’s clear waters and tourist infrastructure attract a lot of visitors each summer, so Tsilivi is usually quite crowded.

It is a well-organized seashore where you can spot plentiful sunbeds and sun umbrellas for rent, though there is also a lot of empty space for you to bring your own umbrella! On top of that, you can spot a watersports center and a diving center on the beach, perfect if you want to try out something new! Plus, the nearby restaurants, beach bars, clubs, shops, and accommodation options make Tsilivi a summertime resort!

    All ages were welcome in Tsilivi
    Tsilivi has a long safe beach. You can walk out for miles without worry of undercurrents or attacks from jellyfish. The area itself is safe and not overtaken by larger louts. There are enough restaurants to eat somewhere different every night - in fact we have been two years running and only went into Popeyes Restaurant more than once. The bars are friendly and there is something for everyone. We often walked along the beach late at night and the water was still warm enough to paddle in, and we never felt threatened as everyone is friendly. There is a bowling alley for those who have teenage children who need entertaining, horse drawn carriage which take you around the resort, crazy golf, reptile house, play areas for children including a bucking bronco and gocart (for the under 5s) and artists who will paint your picture and henna tattoist who will paint your body.
    We have never had a bad meal in any of the restaurants in Tsilivi. The prices are cheap. As a family of five (all eating adult courses) I never paid more than 50 euros for main course including drinks. Popeyes is a well know restaurant which is situated in a prominent site. We drank in Enigma every night and everyone is welcoming. Enigma is also a nightclub which had a hypnotist in one night a week. All ages were welcome. It is worth wondering all over the resort as there are restaurants and bars hidden in side streets as well as on the main road. Planet pub is also another favourite with karaoke, dancing and friendly bar staff.

    Lively resort
    Tsilivi is a touristy resort in Zakynthos. I was there last year in September. Although it was the end of the busy greek summer holidays season I was surprised that the restaurants and bars were lively. There is an amazing variety of bars and restaurants there. The beach is nice and comfortable and longer than a mile. I would recommend the resort of Tsilivi to everyone of any age or taste. I recommend the visit to the Red Lion which propose a lot of nice coktails. Also the Popeye's restaurant is amazing.
