When I was planning a vacation in the spring, and for some reason I was looking for hotels of a class not higher than 2 *, I found out that a low star rating does not mean a low level of a hotel. Simply, in this case, one or two items from the usual list of options are missing. Let's say everything is fine in the hotel, but there is no TV in the rooms, or only breakfast or no bar. I chose "Ocean" because. I consider the lack of a pool rather a plus, and the lack of a hair dryer in the room is completely nonsense. Everything else in the "Ocean" is, including its own (for rent) beach with free sunbeds and umbrellas.
The hotel turned out to be one of the best in my life. (I have been traveling for 18 years twice a year and have something to compare with). The ocean stands on the beach and I have never lived closer to the sea. Even in expensive clubs on the first line, the hotel building itself usually stands some distance from the sea. In "Ocean" in addition to standard rooms there are two-room family suites and a room for the disabled. For those who are interested, I made a somewhat boring, but detailed photo report, so I will not dwell on the description of the rooms.
The food is superior to that of much more expensive hotels. Breakfast-dinner. Lunch is paid from the menu or you can go to the village. The food is absolutely homemade and plentiful. For example, for breakfast, in addition to just boiled eggs, there are also fried eggs and scrambled eggs.
The beach is sandy, the entry into the water is smooth. Waiters take orders and carry decoction all the way to the surf line. Unfortunately there are no topless aunts. There are few people on the beach, except for weekends, when people from Thessaloniki come to the Oceana beach. If the children do not wake up at night, you can arrange a romantic jaga-jaga with your half on the beach. There are no people at all at night.
There is a Russian channel on TV. If you are traveling with children, take a lightweight DVD player with you. You can connect to the box, turn on Masha with the bear and take a nap for an hour and a half.
The village itself is small. One street. Several restaurants and shops. An amusement park for children and an arcade for teenagers. On the outskirts, a donkey lives in a paddock and you can walk with children in the evenings and feed him bread and salt. (There is also a cheerful, kind hotel dog Orpheus of some Japanese breed. He can also be stroked and fed, but not very obviously, because the owners are afraid that they will squeeze him).
Car rental is by phone. Tacha is driven to the hotel and picked up there. If you charm a rental girl, a discount of up to 10 per day is possible.
A tourist train goes to a neighboring, more lively and noisy town and makes a stop there for 30 minutes. A very noisy and party place is the places on the Olympic beach near the city of SKOTINA. At the entrance to this party center in an open field there is a small hut with the inscription "Striptease" and roughly drawn women in negligee. The place looks so creepy that I slowed down for five minutes, hoping to see woodpeckers who dare to enter there. Not wait.
In these towns it is pleasant to wander in the crowd, gawk at the shops, drink beer. You should not let one wife and children go there, because. the presence of a large number of not quite sober, relaxed, people attracts visiting crime to these places. All sorts of Albanian Albanians and Bulgarian Gypsies. On the outskirts, tents are poked around the camp, and some of them are moving strangely. When I returned to the car for forgotten cigarettes, a girl of 12-13 years old approached me and in English she was taken aback by the phrase - "Mister, if you give me 5e. , I will show you sissy... " I asked her where she came from (Kosovo Albanian) and then dumped all his poor knowledge of English curses. And in general, on the streets you can suddenly stumble upon extremely unsympathetic faces.
In the same place, you can rent quads of different cubic capacity and quite nice buggies.
Contingent. The "Ocean" is inhabited mainly by Greeks, Austrians, people from Eastern Europe (Serbia, Ukraine, Czech Republic, the Baltic countries, Moldova) and we. Half of the people come in their cars. People, mostly wealthy and accomplished, and I did not feel discomfort from communicating with a businessman from western Ukraine. On the contrary, I found out for myself, in a conversation with him, several questions on the problems of Ukrainian nationalism and Russophobia. Naturally, there are people in the hotel who simply save money, spitting on show-offs. The main thing is that in the "Ocean" there is no such breed of people who perceive rest and accommodation in a hotel as a kind of attraction, where, unlike their everyday life, everything should be high society, dolce vita and vanity fair. This people, in principle, is harmless, but annoying when a neighbor on the beach whines about the fact that TODAY they forgot to change his towel for his left ear. (Every time I try to figure out how many times a year such a pepper changes its, for all occasions, homemade towel. )
Staff. Unlike large hotels, where employees are detached and correct, everything is much more fun in the "Ocean". The co-owner of the hotel is Dimitri. Cheerful, lively cupcake 32 years old. Approximately every third glass he pours from himself, calls you a friend, flies after your wife and offers to sell the hotel. Dreams of marrying a Russian girl. His companion is a cheerful, calm aunt, who, when I checked into the hotel, surprised me by saying that she didn’t need any passports or questionnaires. She already sees that we are not crooks and gave out the keys. The waiters made friends with the children and tried to secretly feed them free ice cream from me.
Purchases. In connection with the crisis, the Greeks completely relaxed. It is almost impossible to buy anything locally produced in a store other than Oza and Metaxa. For authentic cartoons, go to the mountains. For shopping, take your half to Mediterenian Cosmos. Healthy shopping center like Mega with a standard range of European brands. Only much cheaper than in Moscow. There is a very good children's play area. Despite the language barrier, my bastards spent 2 hours there and did not utter a word. The only location is not easy. We must ask.
For the sake of interest, I visited several more 1-2 ** hotels. Didn't find anything repulsive anywhere. So, it makes sense to try to escape from the tenacious embrace of all inclusive.
It is necessary to finish, otherwise the moderators are angry. I wrote a lot, but not all. I will answer questions. (Excursions, transport, etc. )
P. S. A photo report will also somewhat complement the picture.
