Knossos Beach Knossos Beach

In general, the hotel is not bad, but not for Russian tourists. They don’t understand us there, there are only French people around. At first I thought it was a plus, but later the French "whooping" became annoying. Of course, English was enough to explain, but not all the staff speak English. But France knows everything. At first, the hotel caused very depressing emotions. Too simple decoration, the territory is a little neglected, there are no walking paths at all! The territory is large, but it is all occupied by bungalows. There is nowhere to walk after dinner. Discos and other shows - no. There are French mini disco and karaoke in French in the evenings. Room in the main building furnished with completely new furniture. But the kitchen won my heart! What food! Everything from cheeses to meat dishes is delicious! and what a luxurious salmon they baked! The staff is very helpful. The beach is great sand. But the sea - left me with not strong emotions. In Bodrum it is much cleaner and nicer. There is a lot of sea grass in the water, which is sometimes thrown ashore, then dry, it is again washed away by a wave and it spreads along a pleasant sandy bottom. The Greeks are lazy to work. They don't want to clean. They came up with a fairy tale about the fact that the grass is part of the "living" sea and they say it is strictly forbidden to clean it. Therefore, it reminded me of the Black Sea, which is teeming with algae. But in general, European quality and service are much different from Turkish or Bulgarian. European quality begins immediately from landing at the airport of Heraklion. Two ladders, everything is fast, passport control is operational, the buses are comfortable, the drivers are just professionals. You should have seen how they drive huge buses on narrow winding roads. Taking off my hat! And I don’t even remember the statistics on the murder of tourists on the roads of Europe. So there is nothing to compare with the Turkish service, striving to poison with food, drink or kill on the roads, in ditches. In general, the hotel then seemed quite decent, I think this is the best option among the fours!
