Хороший отель,лучший в пределах города Уранополис Nice hotel, best within Ouranoupolis city

The best hotel in Ouranoupoli. The hotel is located at the entrance to the city, at the beginning of the walking street, with a beach area. Beautiful green area of ​ ​ the hotel, clean sandy beach. Sunbeds by the pool b / paid, on the beach paid. If you pay immediately for 10 days, it's cheaper: yes, a sunbed and an umbrella 45 euros. On the beach there are plastic sunbeds, people buy gymnastic mats and lay them on a sunbed, then leave them when they leave, you can pick them up. You can lie by the pool and go swimming in the sea, especially since the beach shower is on the other side. There is no shower on the big beach, and we didn’t rinse, the water there doesn’t tighten the skin. The hotel has three large buildings and several bungalows. It makes no sense to overpay for a bungalow, because all rooms have a sea view. In the building near the beach, the rooms are smaller, shower, only liquid soap. In the building (cat. in the photo), a little further away, the rooms are spacious, with a bathroom, bathrobes, slippers and toiletries. The SPA center is located in this building. The bathrobe came in handy on the beach when there were clouds. (it's nice to swim, wrap yourself in a bathrobe and take a nap on the beach without the scorching sun). We rested from 17.09. 15 de weeks. There were five hot sunny days, then clouds and rain from time to time. You can sit, read on the balcony, contemplating the sea and mountains, take a walk around the town, go on an excursion. The main thing for which it is worth visiting Athos is the pilgrimage of men to the Holy Mountain! And the women are waiting on the beach. Diamonitirio-visa to the monastic state can be obtained in Ouranoupolis, at the Mouzenidis Travel branch or with your guide. There are group tours. Money is not a pity - it's worth it! It will be possible to visit the Holy Mountain again and on your own. Men both in the hotel and in the city communicate and share their impressions. Rest quiet, calm and contemplation. In the city center is the Church of St. Constantine and Helena. At the liturgy, half of the local Greeks, half are our Orthodox. Niggling about food and service at the hotel is not appropriate, this is Athos, not Turkey! Gluttony and hypocrisy in oneself must be suppressed, and not be slaves to the stomach. Normal food, enough to feed yourself and hotel dogs and cats. I read a complaint of some tourists that dogs interfered with them. Yes, there are also roosters crowing, and a horse on a mountain with a bell! So what? This is an opportunity to show mercy to stray dogs and cats at least. I fed everyone, I also bought canned food at the dog store. I don’t eat meat myself, and I can legally give my portion to dogs. They are very cute there, especially the long-eared girl. She is shy, you need to put food and move away, just so that the red dog does not take it away. The redhead was fed separately. He accompanied us to the beach, and for a walk, and to the store, he sat waiting on the street, like the owners. And slept on our balcony. Whom the animals interfere with, the grace of Athos will not help him. Ouranoupoli is a small beautiful town with taverns. There are almost no shops with rags, mostly shops with beautiful icons and church supplies for the service. Read about Paisius the Holy Mountaineer and buy his icon. Weird old man. Life is so short, a man on Athos must take steps to the Holy Mountain, to God for the sake of himself and his family. Not everyone is given such an opportunity. One must be blind not to see the beauty of the world, one must be a fool not to recognize its Creator, and one must be a fool not to bow before Him.
