WE WAS ON about. CRETE in MAY 2011
1. Planes fly every 10 minutes over the hotel

2. The weather in May 2011 was cold by local standards (locals say it hasn't been this cold in May for 65 years). Mostly residents from Ukraine swam in the sea! ! ! (to them the water seemed warm).

3. Breakfast 07.30-10.00, dinner 18.30-21.15. Everything is very delicious! The hotel has a place to walk, the rooms are clean, the pools are also clean, swimming is a pleasure.

4. Beach towels should be taken on the lower floor of the reception, near the jewelry and fur shops, in the grocery: MINI-MARKET. Deposit 15 euros per day for 1 towel, change 1 time per day.

5. Every day at 12.30 the animators conduct water training (water aerobics), a lot of fun, especially the song "Aldemar Royal Mare - Macacao". Both men and women are involved.

6. We rented a Peugeot 107 car. The cost of renting 7 days is 370 euros. If you don't like to watch "ruins", then take a car and drive wherever your eyes look! ! !

7.

The whole of CRETE is one continuous "serpentine", so when taking a car, keep in mind that not only the roads in the mountains, but also the federal highway are very winding. (If needed, take anti-nausea pills. )

8. Need international law. The police stopped us in the mountains and checked my husband for alcohol.

9. Even in Russia we were told that theft in Crete is NO! ! ! It really is! The locals are all very responsive, they will show the way, draw (if they do not know English).

10. We went to about. SANTORINI. Put this island on your must-visit list, emotions are a million! ! ! From Heraklion to about. Santorini 115 euros per person with overnight stay. We bought a ticket to the city of HERSONISOS in the company "NEXT". 115+115=230 for two + 15 euro taxi to the port + 5 euro full car rental insurance for 1 day on the island. Santorini, so that we ourselves can ride around the island. By the way, they also give you a map of the island.
So: 250 euros for two and a day of impressions (Day car rental + accommodation + meals at the hotel + transfer).

11. Live on about.
Crete in the hotel is smaller than in the "FIVE" (5 *) - very ascetic!

12. Fuel costs 1 liter - 72 Russian rubles, but in the end it will be cheaper than taking tours to the "ruins" and caves from guides.

13. On average, a meal in a hotel for 2 people is 90 euros. And in taverns about 40-50 euros for two.

14. Gift cards are completely uninformative. Only directions of cities are accurately marked. It was not always possible to find out where the old federal highway was and where the new one was. (not only to us, but also to the French and Germans).

15. It is not always possible to park in large cities, only in specialized parking lots or shopping centers. (about 4 euros for 2 hours). Rented cars, as a rule, are not evacuated, but simply twisted numbers (And after that you still have to go to the police and pay a fine).

16. The whole party (shops, taverns, etc. ) almost everywhere ends at 22.00-23.00 It seems that KRIT is one big boarding house.

17. We went to the city.

"ZAROS" in the mountains, ate delicious trout (40 euros - for two) in the "VOTOMOS" tavern, where you can also spend the night in a hotel. (www. idi-hotel. gr)

18. A phone card with a chip costs 5 euros. Called home in Yekaterinburg and cell. (approximately about 4 hours you can chat in general).

19. Entrance ticket to the KNOSOS Palace (5 km from Heraklion), which is almost 5 thousand years old (in Yekaterinburg they bought a guidebook and walked around the whole of Knossos themselves) costs only 6 euros per person.

20. We were on the palm beach VAI, and on the way back to Hersonissos, near the town of Gournia, we turned left and drove to the Libyan Sea to the city of IERAPETRA.
