It was the first time in Crete. We wanted to go to Croatia, but not a single hotel was confirmed, and the deadlines were running out, so we chose Crete . . We chose Lyttos because of its beach . . 300 meters . . clean, clean well. 6 euros for a sunbed.
In all, Analispi Lyttos is the most luxurious . . The hotel nearby is also good, but its beach is dirty. And the road passes right under the territory . .
I liked the fact that they settled right away, and they gave the room with a view of the sea, and not the garden, as we paid for. The rooms are normal, clean, recently renovated. Safe, TV, everything working. I didn’t like the mattresses . . Very hard. But the posture is like that of a soldier) But maybe someone likes to sleep on such) They cleaned every day. The strangest thing is that they didn’t take a tip. We put these unfortunate 2 euros all over the room: both on the bed and on the TV . . they don’t take . .

Now about food. Edible, sometimes even tasty. There is a lot of meat, fish, various cheeses. . I liked olives and bottled wine for lunch and dinner. . Amazingly few fruits. . Apples, pears, sometimes peaches. . Yes, and they taste sour. . The most incomprehensible and annoying moment was 8 -mi local tables . . Well, why is this ? ? Who came up with it ? ? Why, instead of a romantic dinner, we were forced to sit like in a student canteen and apologize to those like us who want to spend the evening romantically over a bottle of wine. It was possible to take a table only at the very beginning of dinner, and even then it’s not a fact that no one will be seated with you . . Sadness . . We started going to dinner in the city . . Although why then all ??
By the way, there is a Zorbas tavern near the hotel. There is an old BMW motorcycle near it.
We took 2 excursions . . The cave of Zeus and Santorini . . The cave is not stressful. By the way, you can buy olive oil on excursions, the prices are the same as everywhere else, it’s checked)) And the wine is a little expensive . .
Santorini . . This is a separate song. Beautiful, landscapes, black beaches, a volcano . . But tiring . . And you need to go for 2 days. Because running after a guide and looking at all this unearthly beauty is blasphemous . . You can go yourself no problems at all . . Regretted that they did not. Superjet ticket approx 80 euros. .
We rented a car. Peugeot 308. We went to Angelos Nikolos and Heraklion. We looked at the Palace of Knossos, the center of Heraklion, then went to Spinalonga and the lake in which the Gods bathed . . Refueled for 24 euros . . Still left))
In general, I liked Crete, but I liked this place for once . . We won’t go again . . I wanted more history, mystery, some kind of charisma, or something . . Although, maybe in 5 years we’ll be back to taste moussaka in Zorbas)))
