Location
The village of Tsilivi, which is also known as Planos, is situated on the northeastern coast of the Greek island of Zakynthos and is surrounded by an abundance of opportunities for exploration and indulgence, such as nearby caves, monasteries, and churches, as well as plenty of fishing and diving spots. Tsilivi beach lies to the north, and the island’s main town—known simply as Zakynthos or Zaente—is just 12 kilometers south of Tsilivi. The dedicated concierge team also organizes wine tasting sessions, lessons in Greek cooking, intimate candlelight dinners, sunset boat trips, sailing, horse-riding, fishing excursions, and more.
