Tsilivi beach and Tsilivi town is one of the best areas to stay in Zakynthos for sure. It has a spectacular beach, some great restaurants and plenty of accommodation options. It’s a good option for a place to stay on the east coast of Zakynthos, or you can just pop in for a day.
As we stayed in nearby Psarou, we concerned the beach here quite often and even though it lost its Blue Flag status for cleanliness and ecological awareness in 2018, it still made our list of the best beaches to visit in Zakynthos.

About Tsilivi Beach
Also typically referred to as Planos, this was one of our preferred stretches of sand in Zakynthos. It’s a beautiful, broad beach with plenty of restaurants and things to do nearby. I was really amazed to hear that it lost its Blue Flag status, but when we were there it was after it had lost the award and it still looked extremely clean to me.

Where is Tsilivi Beach?
Tsilivi is located smack dab in the center of the eastern coast of Zakynthos with Zante town to the south and Alykes to the north. It’s also very close (almost walking distance) to nearby Psarou beach where we stayed.
Zakynthos Island itself is located in the Ionian Sea in western Greece. It’s a small island of just 405 kilometres² (156 miles²), but it’s a popular traveler destination in the summer months. It’s around 20 kilometres west of mainland Greece and about 250 kilometres west of the capital of Athens.

How To get To Tsilivi Beach
The best way to get to Tsilivi beach (and to all of the places to visit in Zakynthos) is to rent your own car. prices start at just €15 per day and it’s really worth it to have the freedom to explore the island at your own pace.
Alternatively, if you’re staying in Zante town or one of the other beach towns on the east coast, you could rent a boat and take it around the numerous different coves on the west side of Zakynthos before arriving in Tsilivi.
Lastly, there are some public transport options to get you to Tsilivi beach but the buses in Zakynthos don’t run that often and all of them start in Zante town and make their rounds from there. You’ll have to ask your hotel or house for the bus times as they change based on season and they’re not often posted. here is the route:
Argassi – Xirokastelo – Vassilikos – Porto Roma – Tsilivi – Planos – Tragaki – Kipseli – Alykanas – Alykes – Katastari – Orthonies – Anafonitria – Volimes – Exo Hora – Kambi – Agios Leon – Agios Nikolaos – Machairado – Galaro – Gyri – Keri – Agalas – Lithakia – Laganas.
Again, the buses aren’t that reliable which is why we recommend hiring your own car.

Best Time To visit Tsilivi beach Zakynthos
To make the most out of any visit to the beach, you’ll want to come at the ideal time of the year when the sun is shining and the water is warm enough for a swim. Furthermore, it’s good to come to the beach at the best time of day. Here’s what we think the best time to visit Tsilivi beach is.
The best Time of Day To visit Tsilivi Beach
The best time of day to visit Tsilivi beach is in the middle of the day between 11 am and 2 pm when the sun is directly overhead and the sand is being illuminated from below. Alternatively, sunset is a good time to come here, though you’re facing east so you won’t see it hit the water.
The best time of year to visit Tsilivi Beach
The best time to visit Greece is between the months of March and November, but for a beach holiday you’ll want to stick to April to September when the sea is still warm enough to swim.
We love to visit Zakynthos in may (or September) as there are fewer tourists at that time but the weather is sunny and the sea is warm enough for a brisk dip.
The type of Sand on Tsilivi Beach
The sand here is golden, squeaky clean, and soft to walk on. numerous beaches on Zakynthos Island and around the Mediterranean are pebbly, making it unpleasant to walk around in bare feet, but not Tsilivi.
There is a gradual drop into the ocean so it’s a great place for shallow water sports like frisbee, and also a good place for families. The water is practically always calm as it’s in a relatively secluded bay.
Facilities on Tsilivi Beach
There are plenty of facilities on Tsilivi beach Zakynthos to make you comfortable. There are sunbeds and umbrellas for rent from €7 per day for two sunbeds and an umbrella. There are also some watersports like windsurfing, water skiing, banana, pedaloes, jet skiing, and paragliding.
There are some equipment rental places on the beach as well and plenty of restaurants. numerous of the restaurants also have sunbeds and umbrellas for rent, as well as toilets. some of them also have beach showers.

Best restaurants Near Tsilivi Beach
While there are a lot of great restaurants best on Tsilivi Beach, you’ll notice that the first two on this list are out of town. That’s because if you have a car, these places are worth the 10-minute drive from Tsilivi to eat at, but I’ve also included some best on the sand.

★ 4.4/5 (36 Reviews)
? Mains from €8
If you don’t mind the 10-minute drive from Tsilivi, then don’t miss this place. There’s nothing like viewing the sunset over Zakaynthos while drinking a delicious glass of red wine and listening to the Ionian Sea lap the sand just a few feet away. This was one of the best restaurants in Zakynthos that we went to and in our opinion, having sunset dinner here is one of the best things to do on the island as well.
Lofos Restaurant
? Unnamed Rd, Meso Gerakari 291 00, Greece
★ 4.7/5 (313 Reviews)
? Mains from €7
Again, you’ll have to get in the automobile and drive here from Tsilivi beach (about 10 minutes), but it’s worth it! This is without a doubt our preferred little taverna in Zakynthos. The view from the hilltop here is spectacular and the food and service is remarkable as well.
