We went in mid-August with my husband to Crete. The hotel was chosen based on reviews on the Internet and friends, because. visited Greece for the first time. The host was Beleon Tour. Everything in order:
1. Settlement. We arrived around 13:00 and were seated immediately. We had a standard garden view double room in the main building #604. The room was very disappointing. Room 4 * 4, moreover, there were two single beds, separated by a bedside table. The beds were moved by themselves. There was one bedside table and one chair for two, which was very disturbing, because. the passage between the beds and the TV table is very narrow - the two of us cannot disperse. The furniture is old, the design. . . it just doesn't exist. . . the carpeting on the floor and in the lobby is very old and dirty. Plumbing in the bath is old - once there was rusty water. Safe with key!! ! haven't seen this in a long time. Ants were running. However, there is a TV with Russian channels, there is a minibar, there are bathrobes and slippers. There is a balcony with two chairs, a table and (unexpectedly! ) the best clothes dryer I have ever seen in a hotel. Our kettle did not work, we contacted the reception, they replaced it within 15 minutes. Cleaning daily, change of towels on request. In general, the number is clearly 3. We did not get upset because of this, because there were two of us and planned to travel a lot around Crete. By the way, we managed to see a room of the Family sea view category - quite worthy, you can come with children to this one.
2. Hotel and staff. The hotel itself is very beautiful and the area is large and green. Everywhere is clean. The staff is polite and friendly, many understand Russian well, in addition there is a Russian hostess. The hotel guide is also very polite and attentive girl. Internet only in the lobby bar and weak. In the evenings, for example, it was generally possible to forget about him.
3. Nutrition. The food is just excellent. Not very varied, but everything is fresh, tasty and healthy. Several types of fish, incl. and tuna, lots of fruit. We had AI, but for lunch and dinner for some alcoholic drinks and fresh juices, such a system can bring a bill. But the hotel guide informs all new arrivals about this. And for breakfast you can have fresh juices and champagne at no extra charge. In the bar, look for cocktails and drinks marked with the "house" icon in the menu - they are free of charge for those with AI. For children, the kids club has its own mini-restaurant.
4. Beach and pools. The beach is small pebbles with sand, clean. The sea is clean, transparent; standing up to my neck in the water, I saw gray fishes under my feet. In August the sea is very warm even at 7 am. There was a storm at sea for a couple of days - but this did not stop the Russians - jumping on the waves is a special pleasure. The private beach at the hotel is huge, there are a lot of sunbeds, free places can be found at any time. Lots of pools; There are for toddlers and older kids. There is an indoor pool.
5. Entertainment. This hotel shows shows every other day. We liked the Fair Show the most - it was spectacular, moreover, the performance is not given on the stage, but right in the courtyard, which makes it even more exciting. Do not regret 33 euros per person and go to a fish dinner at a restaurant by the pool, on the same evening they give a Brazilian show. A wide variety of excellent fish and marine reptile dishes, my personal favorite was the grilled octopus.
6. Excursions. We took a personal guide on an excursion to Chania, it cost 600 euros. The guide Anna, who knows well the history of not only Greece, but also European states and the history of culture, spoke a lot and eloquently, so it was very interesting.
We flew to the island of Santorini by plane. It costs 200 euros per person. If you have the opportunity, it’s better to fly by plane, the flight is 25 minutes, and by sea 2.5 hours. You will have time to arrive on the island before the mass influx of tourists. And in the heat on narrow streets, this is very important. Santorini is an island of steps, so with small children in strollers, the tour will be exhausting. For a trip to Santorini with small children, a sling backpack is better. In addition to a huge number of shops with mass-market souvenirs, there are many shops with hand-made things: clothes and beautiful souvenirs and interior items and Venetian dolls (if anyone is fond of), so take some money with you! Also on Santorini you will be taken to the so-called wine museum and offered a tasting. The most expensive Kamaritis wine costs 24 euros per bottle, the rest of the wines are around 11 euros, but for those who fly by plane, you will need to purchase a special box for transporting wine. A double box costs as much as 8 euros!
The sightseeing tour of Crete was also very interesting. But first they brought me to a shallow fresh mountain lake to swim, to be honest, there is nothing to do there. Better keep your swimsuit dry until you arrive at the beautiful Libyan Sea! True, you will have to change clothes in the toilet of the local tavern, there are no cabins on the wild beach. During a stop on the Libyan Sea, all tourists were sent to eat in one tavern, but my husband and I did not like it either in terms of speed of service or sanitary conditions - so we went to dine in a tavern near the sea and tasted incredibly delicious lamb ribs and salad there from dried eggplant (although there is no menu in Russian), but they were served instantly. After the Libyan Sea, we were taken to the monastery of Preveli. I must say right away (for those who like to visit holy places) in Greece you do not need special clothes and headscarves, as we have in Russia, so you can safely go there in shorts and T-shirts. Also in the monastery you can buy olive oil and honey of their own production.
We wanted to go fishing on a yacht, but in Greece this is a very expensive pleasure. It all depends on fuel consumption. A yacht for 6-8 people costs 2400 euros per day, go fishing 850 euros. But as it turned out later, if you have friends, then you can arrange everything much cheaper : ))))
In general, Greece is a fertile country, at least for a Russian person there is everything for the soul, as well as for the mind and heart, and for the body. We will definitely go there again and again.
Sincerely, Katherine.
