Good day everyone! My husband and child (5 years old) and I rested here in the month of June. We were in Greece for the first time, we really liked the country: a comfortable climate, clear sea, beautiful nature and the Greeks are hospitable and friendly, you can safely walk on the streets even in the evenings. Many people speak Russian in the hotel.
Reviews on the Internet about the Athos Palace Hotel were different, but this did not frighten us, everyone has their own opinion, we personally were satisfied with the hotel.
The territory is really big, as we were promised, beautiful and well-groomed, we walked in the morning after breakfast and before dinner. We swam in the sea almost every day, the water is good, warm, the sand is clean. Sunbeds and umbrellas on the beach were free for us (since we lived on the all-inclusive program).

The food at the hotel is good, I liked it, and there is a variety of dishes, and tasty, the food is always fresh. Even our son, who is picky about food, always found those dishes that he ate with pleasure. There were many meat dishes, there was a fish, a lot of fruits, a dessert table. Breakfast is mostly monotonous, but you can have a hearty breakfast.
For children, the hotel has a children's pool with fountains and slides, the son was delighted with them. There is a playground, we also went to a kids club, there are two of them in the hotel. We went to Grekoleto, as there are Russian-speaking animators. The girls are well done, friendly, they easily find a common language with children, they can captivate and interest the child, and simply keep the conversation going. Went there several times. The child liked such entertainment, but he liked it more at the sea and in the pool on the slides.
In the evening we sat in the lobby of the hotel, there was live music playing. Sometimes we went for a walk to the village of Kallithea (it takes 30-40 minutes to go there), but there is a stop not far from the hotel, you can get there by bus or order a taxi at the reception. There are many cafes, bars, taverns in the village (we tried seafood there, very tasty dorado fish and liked spaghetti with shrimp in tomato sauce), delicious ice cream, for children there are slot machines and all sorts of small carousels, shops with clothes, a lot of souvenir shops, fruits can be buy there.
At first, they didn’t plan to go on excursions anywhere, as they were with a child, but then they took a sea cruise along St. Athos. Very beautiful views, we fed the seagulls from the ship, my son was happy with such a trip on the boat. The trip itself is not difficult, even for a child, so I recommend it.
The hotel room, of course, is not new, it may need to be updated, but it’s not bad in itself, there is enough space, there is where to turn around, everything you need is there, a beautiful view of the sea, a large balcony, daily cleaning, towels and bed linen are fresh.
In general, everything suited us, and the price was not bad for a hotel of this category. We had a great rest, we think that next year we will go on vacation to Greece again! Thanks for the rest!
