Good afternoon everyone!
Finally decided to write a review about the hotel and the rest. For the first time abroad, I went with a work colleague. Although the rest didn’t bring a lot of impressions, I think we didn’t go in vain, because I think Turkey and Egypt will always be available, but Greece is in doubt.
Hotel Marilena - family, multinational, calm - for those who like to sit in the evenings at the bar and play cards, small, no territory, nowhere to walk. There is no animation, but there is a hotel across the road from AGAPI BEACH - there is a daily entertainment program - concerts, theme nights, discos, a theater - we went there very impressive.
The staff is friendly, trying to understand and help, they speak a little Russian.

Nutrition is a favorite topic for me, because. being a gourmet, you won’t talk to me about tasteless food... Breakfasts - I personally appeared once, then I ignored it, there was nothing for me to do there, especially since breakfast is early from 6:30 to 9:00, it’s better for me to sleep. Monotonously and not quite tasty - potato cheese, sausage, eggs, scrambled eggs, muesli, cottage cheese, chamomile tea (there is no green and black tea in Greece), sour coffee - for an amateur + lack of teaspoons. Lunch - very tasty, varied by day, but few in number of dishes. Very tasty casseroles . . Few desserts and fruits (watermelon + grapes), no cakes and ice cream. Sometimes poorly washed dishes.
Very good-natured girls in bars - just darlings! ! always in a good mood . . nimble, fast, everyone will be served regardless of national characteristics, though you need to get used to drinks at first . .
The rooms are cozy, bright, TV with the Russian channel ORT, air conditioning. Cleaning every day, fast and clean. No shampoo.
The sea is not calm, in 14 days we managed to swim normally once ! ! Strong waves, very shallow, a sea of ​ ​ sea urchins, a stone ridge, pipes with valves under water, which I ran into and pierced my leg in 2 places. , behind Agapi Beach. .
The tour operator was Pegasus (ELENA) - honestly I don’t know what they are responsible for, except for pushing vouchers about which they themselves don’t really know. + some kind of fee is taken to the cost of the tour . . We would not have known about our departure and flight delay, because the tour operator comes to the hotel for an hour and not every day. We couldn’t find her, thanks to the reception, the administrators contacted her, but she still didn’t come...
We went through Lena to Santorini - a little expensive, but beautiful, I want to take a picture of every corner . . We can call it a minus - a long way there and back, respectively . . sailing on a ship for about 2.5 hours is tiring, and the places are somehow not distributed very well . . Bathed on a black sand beach. . amazing. .
The island is calm, boring, in a day we walked up and down Ammoudara . . The streets are narrow, you can’t walk on the path together - either a pillar, or palm trees . . sometimes dirty and littered. Excellent air, sea water (even in the pool), a healthy diet, have a beneficial effect on the skin in a couple of days. .
The country is poor as gifts and souvenirs, there really is nothing to buy... even in Heraklion - the center of the island, a bus goes there for 1.3 euros (buy at a kiosk) and do not forget, they have a siesta from 14 to 17 all the shops are sleeping !!

Have a nice holiday!! ! I would be glad if my review helps someone in choosing a holiday and a hotel. .
