Good day!
I hope to be objective and of course brief. And so the vacation was 16.09 - 26.09. 12.
When choosing a tour, I advise you to clearly define the purpose and location (we will talk about the mainland of the Chalkidiki peninsula). If you are young and energetic, want clubs and pubs, then I advise (on the advice of local Russian workers) to go to the first finger (leg) of Kasandra. They say that it’s fun and cool there, I’ll say right away I don’t know and I won’t say it. However, from a vacationer in the village of Kasandra, she learned that it was deaf there too, but please note that this is no longer the season, perhaps it was better in the season. (but we were told in the hotels that it is REALLY better there)

The second finger (leg) Sitaniya is beautiful (we went there by car). Were in the town of Marmaras, beautiful, a lot of shops, cafes and restaurants. However, it is positioned more as a family vacation and is considered the most beautiful of these 3 peninsulas.


Third finger (leg) - Holy Land !!! ! There are pilgrims and elderly people. I do not advise, I even persuade not to go there to anyone younger than 55-60 years old !! ! Perhaps family, if you have a small child and you go to bed at 22.00 with him.
Because (smoothly moving on to a review of hotels) the hotel is boring to disgrace!! ! The rooms are good (was the 8th building). There is a kettle in the room, but coffee and tea are not provided, we had to steal at breakfast. The view from the window is creepy. Not a soul around the hotel! AT ALL!! ! you just fall into the hole of the atlas! The store is 20 minutes away (another settlement) is a goat shit road (sorry for the truth), but it's terrible. You don't enter civilization, but. . .
Therefore, I advise only adults or families to go there, but young people, even young married couples, have nothing to do there !! ! When we arrived, we cried for probably 2 days. Girls, just like us, even tried to change the hotel for a surcharge, and even to the other peninsula, but alas. The workers themselves asked us: why did you come here? Are you unable to read reviews? The workers themselves count the seconds when they return home. during this time they went wild to the end! There are no young people there... there was no one to even talk to!
However, we were lucky, they opened a wonderful bar in the Aristotilis hotels. At least there were people there, it was fun, you can drink, you can dance and chat, which was not in our hotel. Alexandros Palace is different in that if you want to dance, you will have to do it only to the howling Greek melody! When trying to ask the local "DJ" to put on something Russian or foreign, he answered clearly: the boss said to me: - "only Greek music", if there are people, then something more fun can be, but the question is who will go to the bar where initially 4 people sit forever: the owner, his son, DJ and bartender and not a soul else!! ! No animation, nothing!! ! only deathly silence!
In short, I think it is clear who can go there and why!

As for the cuisine, my girlfriend and I liked it, I can’t say that there was something wow, but still, although many criticized the kitchen. I didn't find any seafood there. I almost didn’t eat meat (I prefer not to eat what I don’t know), more specifically, nipples are like paper, meat is like rubber. For breakfast, juices are the usual UPI, and tea / coffee, for dinner - everything is for money, water is always for money. Of the fruits, watermelon (you can eat), peaches (last year) and a terrible melon.
The beach is so-so, I advise you to go to the island, it is beautiful and quiet there. The water is clean.
As for excursions, very expensive! Starting from 50 euros and up. But without them, nowhere. from this hotel you had to do your feet! The excursions themselves are clearly on schedule, in principle, this is both a plus and a minus.
The service staff, I can’t say that they are not friendly, but there is no joy on their faces. When we had dinner in a restaurant, he came to us and rudely and clearly said: we are closing in 5 minutes. His gaze was so insulting and humiliating that not only did he lose his appetite, but his mood also deteriorated.
Do not be fooled by free wi-fi, it is there every other time and is so weak that you just feel sorry for your nerves and just forget about it.
Don’t be fooled by the disco in the neighboring settlement either, the locals told us that it only works for 1-1.5 months and no more than 20 people come there)))
From the island part, we were advised by Rados, well, we were on Amulami, also pretty.
Sorry if I'm tired. But I do not advise you to go there (neither to Athos, and especially to Alesandros Palace), no one likes this hotel! Nobody, neither employees, nor partners, nor vacationers! We were lucky, we met good people and somehow dispelled our leisure time, otherwise take my word for it, don’t go!!!
Greece is beautiful and poor country, nature is beauty!!!
Have a good holiday in other parts of Greece, or at least on these lands, but not in this hotel! : )
