Hello!
Just a week ago in early May, my husband and I visited Greece, namely the third peninsula of Athos. We had been planning our trip for a long time, for personal reasons we needed to get to Athos.
The hotel was chosen based on reviews and price range. We stayed at the Alexandros Palace Hotel for five days. More precisely, I stopped, and the next day my husband went to Athos. From the airport to the hotel for about two and a half hours, we rode on a group bus, comfortable and with Wi-Fi.
We settled in a new building, we booked a standard room overlooking the pool. To be honest, upon arrival, we could not see much, but the next day I explored the entire territory of the hotel, and it turned out to be huge and very beautiful. I can say that in the month of May there are no vacationers here, only pilgrims with their families and a few European couples looking for solitude.
I was struck by the peace and quiet of this place. It feels like time has stopped and there is no city bustle, various worries and problems that surround us in our daily life.
The sea is still cold in May, so I refrained from swimming in the Holy Gulf, but visited the SPA center with pleasure. As I was told this year it was rented by an Italian cosmetic company, providing a wide range of services.
I also went on an excursion Cruise Saint Athos. The tour lasts 5 hours, 3 hours of cruise and 2 hours of free time in the city of Ouranoupoli. In general, I was satisfied.
Our vacation went as planned, we got what we paid for. But our spiritual state has changed, and changed for the better.
I advise you to visit the Athos peninsula, to feel and appreciate its virgin beauty and grace.
