OK, I`ll answer to myself because I`ve been there and it`s the worst experience about vacations in my life, don`t get me wrong - Zakynthos is very beautiful place to be as Tsilivi is but the accommodation got it all mess up!
You can tell from the outside it`s a nice place to be ( during the day) but when you scratch the surface you will find: lots of dirt in the studios, lots of yelling made by owners (their drive-way goes just near by apartments, car door slamming and noisy TV set from the office goes thru the night), the bar is near by also (what is not unusual but..) and barman (who`s a junky, I saw him do it) got a nasty habit to turn the music up at 23 until midnight and used to play same song (greek folk music) over and over again...and that is really frustrating to be upset like this in the middle of the night. We did complain but with no result.
..next, toilets in studios are messy with lots of stains, pipe for drain ventilation has got a puncture so the odour goes all around, water pipes doesn`t work properly and the drain is jammed....there`s only two small towels provided by hotel every 5 days per person, furniture is very old in most of studios, kitchen ware is rusty (???) and most of plates broken, there`s blood stains of killed mosquitos all over room, the doors squeaks incredibly...people did complain to the agency agent but, guess what, without result again...
...the pool is there but dirty again, there`s lots of "debris" and leftovers all around pool area including weed, the water is overchlorined...
Almost all information given by our agent on site was wrong (the prices was boosted, for ex. trip around island is 18e but agent told us we can book it
for 36e over her etc.)
I went to see hotels near by ours and I can say it`s all tidy and net so pay attention what you are booking and paying in advance next season...
Villa or a hotel Angelika is NOT the right place to spend your vacation and your money
This remark is specially important for folks from Serbia who has booked vacation over Matico agency or have intention to...I`ve got all pictured if any one interested and I`ll be more then glad to spread it...
And yes, there`s two supermarkets in Tsilivi, one is Dia on a main road near Popey`s taverna and the other is on a Popey`s intersection (this one is expensive one), the prices is lower for canned goods then in Serbia but the fruits and veggies are cost much more ( someone will appreciate this info :-))

...additional info on Tsilivi/Zakynthos:
It was very windy during early september on Tsilivi beach, it`s much better to rent a car (40 euros for small jeep or less for smaller cars, about 150e for 5 days, bikes under 50cc are 15 euros/day and there`s a rent a bike option on road to Planos) and go to the St. Nicolaus beach or pay a trip to Maritime bay area `cause it`s beautiful, there`s a few beaches on the west side of island and it`s worth seeing it because of totally different type of beaches (rocky) but clean and it has got all facilities except water sports (the food and service was better on the west side !) ....
