Except for the moment of settlement - the hotel will pull. There is a building there, the windows of which overlook the growth chess and an indoor mini pool. They settled us in it - and there it is damp, the air is musty, it smells of old sewage. As soon as they put the suitcase, they went to the reception, and there the vamp lady gave us know-rooms, and at least you crack. We were literally suffocating at night - there was such an ambergris, even now it’s sickening to remember. Only with the participation of our guide the next evening we were moved to another building, to a family room. There were two rooms (good, large), one - like a children's room, the other an adult bedroom. The air conditioner did not work, but we were so afraid that we could be returned to that "smelly" building, which we said at the reception once and that's all, and from them - zero reaction.
Then we learned that that ill-fated corps was one of the oldest and that it was mainly Russians who settled in it. There were no Germans in it.
By the way, who will go to Greece to Halkidiki in September, you should know that in summer it is warm there until September 8, and after that we already put on blouses for breakfast and in the evening after sunset it is very cool. So we didn't need air conditioning in the room.

Indeed, no service in the evening. We found a way out - we had a small kettle and we could always boil tea in a glass. Tea bags also need to be stocked in advance.
We walked a lot. Behind the hotel there is a road to the town of Afytos. It takes 30-40 minutes to walk there. Just do not try to go along the freeway - cars rush at great speed. When we first poked our heads down the road, the drivers honked and twirled at our temples. But just behind the hotel there is a road. She first goes through the olive orchard, then the cotton field, then along the forest. We found a pear tree there - so there were such delicious pears. Firm, juicy, sweet. If you're lucky, you'll find it. It is especially good to walk in the evening - it is already cold on the beach, and the hotel is boring.
Animation ALL in German. Yes, we didn’t really need a Russian either.
Our neighbors decided to arrange a disco. We made music in the car (by the way, it is very easy to rent a car to Afitos) loudly, they began to dance, dance, whistle. But the guards are on guard. They closed the disco and said that if you want to dance, then there is a city, there is a disco. And rightly so, because as a family hotel, there are a lot of children, and in general people have a rest. Lights out at 23:00.
Beach.
On the first day I fell, slipping on the stove in the water. A huge flat slab, overgrown with moss, it is terribly slippery, one step and I am in the water, in clothes and with bruises. Plates are everywhere, it seems sand, but no, a stove. Need coral shoes. During a storm in shallow water brings prickly hedgehogs. Carefully! You can't take out the thorns, they break off. We did not go to the common beach, it is really crowded there, there are few sun loungers. We walked a little to the left, it's super. We had our own mats and an umbrella. We knew where we were going. Take bread in the dining room. The fish are tame, they eat directly from the hands in the water. Cool.

In the evening, you don’t always have the courage to go into the water, and it’s also cold until 12 in the morning. The shadow on the beach comes early, at 6 o'clock there is already a shadow from the mountain and the sun does not warm.
FOOD.
I have a calm attitude to food, I didn’t go hungry, the salads were good, for breakfast cottage cheese, peaches, eggs, bacon, pastries. Very monotonous, but you can live. But here the melons were driven into a stupor. Not sweet, some kind of green, like piglet food. And people eat.
Juices are all yupi-dryupi, there are no natural ones. Ouzo local - golimaya vodyara. Ice cream only from 15-17 and there is always a queue behind it, nothing special - dairy.
People who are more sophisticated in the rest were upset, the guide told us that in fact the hotel received the fourth star for its proximity to the sea. We rested abroad for the first time, and if not for our resettlement, then in general, even nothing like that, the rest was. There are more positive impressions than negative ones.
