Классный отель, в прекрасном поселке Great hotel in a lovely village

For the first time in our lives, we decided not to rest in a hotel, but to organize our trips ourselves. But, to be honest, it was a little exciting to start everything on our own from and to (we had a child and a grandmother with us), so we considered the accommodation through the operator, and the rest of the leisure time ourselves. So, our large family of four went to the first "finger" of Halkidiki, to the village of Hanioti.
When we arrived at the villa we booked, we decided that next time we would take our friends with us. There is definitely enough space for everyone. Immediately rented a car to see as much as possible. Mobility was the most important criterion for our holiday.
Near the villa there are two large supermarkets, not only food, but also household items.
In the village itself there are a lot of taverns, cafes, and at the time of our vacation two playgrounds were opened - a city one and a small cafe (this is immediately behind the Masutis supermarket).

The remoteness of the villa from the sea did not bother us, because we had a car, and we were not attached to the beach in the village, although a couple of times we walked with pleasure to "our" beaches.
Everything is organized at the villa itself - a washing machine, a dishwasher, a fully equipped kitchen, a barbecue area. I can say thank you very much for this, because the absence of “everyday problems” allowed us to fully get to know the country without wasting time and effort on the arrangement.
By the way, as a recommendation, I can note that there are places that can be reached by car, of course, but it’s still better to go in an organized way. We had to see this on our own example - the monasteries of Meteora. We thought for a long time, wondered, looked through the route and reviews, and still settled on a group tour. Our villas were "tied" to the Olympic Kosma hotel, there are always representatives of Mouzenidis in it, it was they who brought doubts to our plans, and they turned out to be right. We are very grateful to them for this hint, after all, a comfortable bus and the absence of thoughts about the road and its difficulties, excellent competent guides - this is exactly what is very important on some routes.
We noted the following for ourselves - if you want "full immersion in the environment" - you are at villas with car rental; if you are less mobile, or absolutely do not want to think about anything on vacation, but at the same time you plan to get to know the country in detail, the Olympic Kosma hotel is a great option. Yes, a troika, yes, with a small territory, but with excellent service (we have had occasion to contact us on various issues more than once, everything was resolved as quickly as possible).
Our first experience, we are sure will not be the last. We liked this type of holiday very much!
