Travel agency: Гал-Круиз (Lviv) Service type: пакетный тур |
We went to Greece through the tour operator "Gal Cruise". The day before departure we changed the hotel. Naysika Hotel or Athina Hotel (literal description of rooms from Gal Cruise website): Each room has a toilet, shower, air conditioning, refrigerator, telephone, wireless Internet. Rooms are very cozy and beautifully decorated, equipped with modern and comfortable furniture, some rooms overlooking the sea and Mount Olympus). According to the voucher for accommodation, it turned out that we will live in "Fotini rooms". At our request, only photos of the room were sent, and it was explained in words that these were studio rooms, 80 m from the sea. Our travel agent tried to find out where we were going with the director of Gal Cruise, because one of us was pregnant, so the main requirements were a comfortable hotel with air conditioning and a comfortable bus, the other - a birthday. In response, she received curses and irony that half the bus, according to our pregnant women. Since the money could be returned only in court, we left.
In fact, it turned out that "Fotini rooms" are private sector rooms in the village of Olympiaki. We were placed on the third floor, under the roof, all in cheap plastic, so it's terribly hot, air conditioning paid -5 euros a day, no towels, no kettle, no water, heated water in the Turkish, balcony doors do not close, windows overlook the balcony of other people and unfinished structure. Accordingly, there is no reception, when asked about the safe, they offered to keep the documents and money from the owners, who are seen for the first time. The room is not cleaned, so they bought garbage bags and toilet paper, cleaned themselves. We took a "comfortable" bus 28 hours from Chernivtsi, the guide did not know in which city and where our "hotel", so they searched for a long time, as we will be taken away without knowing, there will be a message at the reception, which, as I wrote above, no.
By the way, take a couple of lei, because in Romania the sanitary stop was at the gas station, where there is a paid toilet with a turnstile, the calculation is only in Romanian lei. There was no host party in Greece, we heard Borislav's voice (this is the host party in Greece, which answered the question of which legal entity it speaks for - "I'm just Borislav") via Skype, without a picture, in broken Russian explained to us that it not a hotel, there is nothing to complain about, and immediately began to offer tours
Food. Breakfast is a buffet consisting of cereals, milk, sausages, croissants, bread, tomatoes, boiled eggs, coffee and tea, no fruit or yogurt. Dinner: two salads to choose from - in fact 1 large bowl of tomatoes decorated with cucumbers, 2 large bowls of cabbage decorated with carrots; garnish and meat (pork, chicken) was served in portions to each person; nectarines, sometimes ice cream and cooler water, drinks for dinner are not provided.
Is it tasty, a matter of taste and preferences of everyone.
Sea and beach: Warm, clean and beautiful in the morning, full of grass in the afternoon, when the wind - a lot. It is not deep near the shore, it is good to swim for those who go with children. . Beach - partly there are sunbeds for a drink (3 euros), partly free free zone, you need to go a little further, of course no one told about the free part of the beach. Evening mosquitoes, and that's a lot.
Departure: Departure from the room at 9 am, the bus leaves at 20.00, we also learned about this in Greece during the settlement (such rules), ie we are on the street all day. She asked for help from neighbors who understand English, because a pregnant woman can not spend all day in the heat on the beach, even under an umbrella. No one announced their departure, although Gal Cruise documents clearly state that the message will arrive at the reception or on the tourist's phone.
No one answered the phone number listed in the Gal Cruise documents for calls on the day of departure for information, they only ate the money. Boryslav was called, as it turned out, and taken away from the Phoenix Hotel, which, according to Borislava, said: "There you will go forward a little bit - a pink house." The way back - the bus was late, the guide was rude, the drivers made sanitary stops 5 hours after the "collision", there was not enough fuel, so they stalled on the road, in short - long and hard.
Wrote so that someone else does not get on such a "miracle" vacation because of the fraud "Gal-Cruise". There were a few more people like us in our race, and from the next race, so this is a common practice of "Gal Cruise".
