    I went on my honeymoon to Tsilivi. It had the most beautiful beach crystal clear.:) nice bars and shops. Loved it there! We went to see the turtles in Laganas..... seeing the tourists there was um..... almost as interesting as the turtles..but in a Jeremy Kyle sort of way :P
    Can't recommend a hotel as we booked last minute room only. But i will say.Don't go AI in Greece. The food in restaurants is just too good nicely priced too.

    I second not going AI in Greece, food is soooo nice and very fairly priced! Been to Zante 3 times, going again in August.

    Venus Hotel in Kalamaki is good, has great reviews and close to airport. Nice resort too with fab restaurants and nice beach.

    I've just booked two weeks at the Mavrikos apartments in Tsilivi. I did a lot of research before booking and everyone said to avoid all inclusive. Apparently a lot of the major travel agents are really pushing AI and its ruining the island and causing a lot of bars and restaurants to close. From what I have heard eating out is very reasonable and there is a lot of choice too.
