Greece – Happy Times at Tsilivi Beach

Tsilivi is the second-largest town on the island of Zante/Zakynthos

In an absolute sense I wouldn’t call it ‘large’, but it’s a really charming little town that was quite deserted (in fact the whole island felt really deserted..) since it was reaching the end of the holiday season. The temperature around that time (October) was between 22 - 26 degrees.

Here are pics from the first full day we spent there : :

Had brekkie here by the pool
Went to Greece and had a 'French Breakfast'.. great..
But to be fair we had Greek food almost every other meal
Wanted to have brekkie at this place cos it looked pretty!





After eating we had a wander around town
And found many shops selling colourful beach/pool floaties and toys
Was so tempted!





Went to check out the quad bikes and mopeds for hire
(more on that in a later post)
The people there seemed to be really easy-going and everything can be bargained or.. discussed
Love it!



Also found out about cruising around the island on a boat through some local tour operators
And got ourselves booked into one for the Sunday

Then.. it was time to walk down to the nearest beach!



Emma skipping along



Olive trees are an abundant resource on the island
Emma had a taste of a raw one, fresh off the tree, (the biggest one she could find) and her verdict was: THEY TASTE DISGUSTING!!

There always, ALWAYS has to be at least one feet photo whenever I'm at the beach!

Emma, Aysh, Rose



You'll see lots of pics of us three jumping throughout this trip
Had so much fun taking these!



One of the good things about it being low-season is.. you get all the sunbeds to yourselves
No huge noisy crowds of annoying british tourists (haha sorry.. but you know what I mean.. ;p)

One more thing: Found THIS in the middle of a toy/souvenir shop
The Greeks appear to be very.. hmm.. open minded?!?
In other gift shops we also found a variety of very.. actually I should say EXTREMELY explicit sexual items.

Ok we found a pack of playing cards - each one had an 'erotic photo' printed on both sides. And there was one involving three men and a goat. Think I've made my point there!
