Tsilivi is one of Zante’s most popular resorts, combining a long sandy beach with plenty of tavernas, bars and shops – but without feeling overwhelming. Karras Grande Resort sits in a handy spot close to the resort centre, so you can step out for an evening wander, grab an ice cream on the promenade or head to a nearby bar for a low-key night out.

The beach is a straightforward walk away and has earned Blue Flag status for cleanliness. There are watersports for those who like a little action and plenty of sunbeds if you’d rather just stay horizontal with a good book. Back in town, traditional Greek tavernas and family-run restaurants give you lots of choice beyond the hotel if you fancy a change from All Inclusive.

Tsilivi, Zante, Greece

All Inclusive at Karras Grande Resort is centred on Il Gusto Buffet Restaurant, where you’ll find a mix of international favourites and Greek dishes for breakfast, lunch and dinner, plus a children’s buffet corner and handy facilities like microwaves and highchairs for little ones.

Once per stay, you can typically book dinner at Basilico Greco, the poolside à la carte spot, for a more leisurely evening featuring Greek and international flavours. A smart dress code usually applies in the evenings (no beachwear and long trousers requested for men).

Two pool bars – Basilico Greco Pool Bar and the Central Pool Bar – keep drinks and light bites coming throughout the day, from soft drinks and coffees to local wine, beer and spirits as part of the All Inclusive package. Availability, opening hours and any supplements can vary by season and board, so always check the latest details on arrival.

What All Inclusive typically includes.

You’ll have three outdoor freshwater pools to choose from, including a dedicated children’s pool with a surrounding sunbathing area, sunbeds and parasols. The main pools are framed by terraces that make it easy to see the kids while still relaxing on a lounger, and there are baby-changing facilities nearby. Pool towels are usually available for a deposit or small local charge.

When you fancy swapping the pool scene for the sea, Tsilivi’s sandy beach is just 300m away. The gently shelving shoreline and calm waters make it ideal for younger children, while the Blue Flag status is reassuring for everyone. You’ll also typically find a selection of watersports on offer locally (independently operated).

Active guests can make use of the air-conditioned gym, equipped with cardio fitness machines, a free weights area, stretching zone and fixed strength equipment. There’s also a sauna that can be pre-booked about an hour ahead of use – a nice touch for easing tired muscles after a busy day.

Lighter entertainment comes in the form of table tennis, pool table (local charge) and darts. In high season (typically mid-June to the end of September), you can expect frequent daytime activities from small team games and racket sports to water-based fun, plus evening entertainment such as quizzes, bingo, karaoke, live music and a mini-disco for children. In May and early June, the programme is usually a little lighter but still offers regular evening options.

Practical extras include a 24-hour reception with luggage storage and equipment hire such as bottle warmers, kettles and wheelchairs (local charge).
