Наш отдых в Греции. Our holiday in Greece.

Rested with family from 5 to 15 July 2013.
As soon as we arrived, our family and I were met by representatives of our travel company Mouzenidis. And they were the only ones at the airport who met tourists. Then everything happened very quickly and in an organized manner, after arrival, after about half an hour, we were already on our way to our hotel.
We were among the first to get off the bus, we were unloaded along with the tourists from the Portes Beach Hotel. As soon as we got off the bus, we were already met by our hotel guides. And there were TWO of them. At the beginning, my wife and daughter were taken aback. They looked at us with such expectation that I was even a little embarrassed. And then one of them admitted that she was waiting for the Istion Club & Spa tourists and we went to our hotel together. During our short walk, the guide explained to us that such a huge bus is simply not able to drive straight to our hotel, because. the path was narrow. We treated with understanding, well, what can you do. Therefore, I warn you that if you decide to go to this hotel, be prepared to walk 15 meters.

And so we finally went to the place of our 10-day stay. At the reception we were met by Evangelia and Tatyana. She was a Greek woman from the Gospels, she knew English and German, it was saved by the fact that my wife and I know English, and those who did not know the language approached the charming Tatyana, who, by the way, was our countrywoman from Ukraine : ) But our Irina stood patiently with us, then I I didn’t notice how another girl in a yellow T-shirt named Daria, also our hotel guide, approached. They even helped us with the translation, I sometimes pretended that I did not understand the Gospel, and then Irina, with knowledge of her business, accurately translated all her words. Then my wife and I laughed for a long time.
And here we are settled! The room was not with a sea view, but with a view of the garden (although they asked the agency for the first one !! ). We had an eco room. Our daughter, as soon as she entered the room, hurried to get out of it, only not through the door, but THROUGH THE BALCONY! I took the ball and played on the grass that was opposite our terrace. Therefore, we resigned ourselves to the fact that this is not a sea view, but on the contrary, we decided that it was even better for our daughter. Eco rooms are half a meter underground, so sometimes we even turned off the air conditioner, because it was already comfortable, cool. And it was convenient for dochuli, we always saw where she was playing, she was constantly under our supervision. At night we, of course, closed the balcony. By the way, there is a baby cot, you can just ask at the reception.
The hotel is very quiet, the territory is small, but cozy. The animation program, to be honest, did not impress us, but my daughter always went to the evening mini disco and was pleased.
We took all inclusive. The hotel has one restaurant where we had breakfast, lunch and dinner. There is also a children's menu and a high chair, which is very pleased. The food is delicious, this is not the first time we travel, we have left behind many countries, the food here is really tasty.
There is also a playground, the baby often played there with the guys.
But when we came to the beach, we were upset that there are hedgehogs and that the sunbeds are on a hill, and not right by the sea. But we found out about the beach on the opposite coast and basically, if not laziness, went to that beach. Emerald water, sand, gently sloping shore. Mmm! A feast for the eyes! Sunbeds are free, if you wish, you can order some kind of drink, for a fee.

The village of Potidea was 2 km from the hotel, we took a taxi, walked around the city, ate at the Marina tavern, it was delicious, I am generally skeptical about seafood, but I surprisingly really liked it here.
We chose from the excursions - I was worried about my daughter with my wife, but she seemed to cope. We were even surprised with what interest she looked at the exhibits in the Vergina Museum. In short, we had great fun, and on Olympus, we took a lot of good family photos. In Dion, my daughter was naughty, but I bought her a keychain with a Spartan helmet, I was busy for 30 minutes.
We flew off as well as we flew in, from the guides we were taken to the bus and we said goodbye to sunny Greece.
As a conclusion: the hotel is good for a family vacation (there is no such thing that the music rumbles all night), there is everything for children (food, crib, animation, playground), the only minus is that there is little to be found within walking distance (except for a coffee shop and wine cellar), and the beach here is also so-so, only rubber shoes and a beach on another bay save.
