As expected, it turned out so - the Hellenes are delighted, hearing their language from the lips of the visiting Russians.
Departure from Domodedovo at 10-00. Boeing 737. I'm at the window! The weather is clear. First, forests, roads, residential settlements, rivers (including the Oka). Then four-color patchwork rectangles are Ukraine (dark and light green, yellow and brown-brown). Further along the coast and the Black Sea. Boats are occasionally seen. An hour later, the shore is Turkey again. Then watering. Sea and islands. Descent and safe landing. Total 3 hours 40 minutes.
We pass customs without any problems. The airport is small. Crush at baggage claim.
On the plane, the pilot announced that the time difference was 2 hours. On the bus, Moscow time is on the electronic clock. The guide, a girl, does not know for sure, but, doubting, assumes that 1 hour. It becomes interesting. The guide, distorting the accents, informs us that they have all Russian guides.
The landscapes outside the bus window are quite interesting, they cannot be compared with the Egyptian ones. Sea, mountains, palm trees, cypresses, willows, olives. The houses are reminiscent of Turkish and Cairo ones - there are barrels on the roofs, often there are no glasses.
An hour later we arrive at the hotel. Bali Beach Village. The beginning immediately spoils the mood.
Instead of two single rooms, my friend and I are given one double room. Although it was paid differently. I can't stand the smell of nicotine, and Alexei smokes. I am a lark and he is an owl. I love silence, he talks without interruption. We were not going to live together. It's normal not to fall apart. I talked to other vacationers, they also had similar problems. For example, at first they settled in one room, after some time they moved to another.
The hotel has a seaside-mountain location. From the reception to the sea 95 steps. From the reception to the room up another 140 steps. Pleasant little.
Air conditioning, although not perfect, but still works. Having moved the beds, I made sure that the air conditioner did not blow on me. The room is periodically visited by small ants.
The beach is wonderful. Small sand. Moderately flat bottom. The water holds, almost like the Red Sea. The sea is clean and transparent. Almost no wind or waves. Beach in the depths of the bay. You can swim all over the bay: more than 200 meters. One nuance. If you stand in the water without moving, then small fish bite your legs. First at the heels, and then above. Unusual and unpleasant. There are pools, albeit small ones. There is no animation.
The landscapes are very beautiful. There are a number of shops near the hotel. In the evening at sunset it is very nice to take a walk. It gets dark by 9 pm. Dawn from 6 am.
The cuisine is very tasty. The meat is cooked wonderfully. In the morning sausages and sausages. No soy, unlike Turkey and Egypt. Juices are not powder, but normal. Good cheese. The fish is not very good. Delicious watermelons and salads. Good wine and beer. Strong drinks are not served in the cafeteria.
Cleaning in the rooms is not intrusive: I'm at lunch - the cleaner quickly cleans up. Tips are not asked for.
Excursion.
Knossos - Lychnostatis.
02.08. bus at 8:30 am. No vacant tables. 9:30 a. m. Palace of Knossos. The ancient Minoan state - 2 thousand years BC First in Europe. We were lucky. Taxi drivers blocked the approach to the cash registers. Therefore, on this day, the museum was allowed free of charge. We saved 6 euros. The palace, together with the vaults-labyrinths, is small. Hot. In the shade +35. But there is little shade. The guide tells different legends. The Minoans were miniature. Height is about 150cm. Weight 45kg. The national occupation is bullfighting. And at first it was necessary, being in his way, to grab the horns and jump over the bull, flying between the horns. Visitors, trying to do this, died. So there were rumors that in Crete the bull kills people. Bulls were also sacrificed.
About 1 thousand years BC. After a devastating seventy-meter tsunami, the Achaeans and Dorians (ancestors of the Greeks) captured the weakened state. There are often (5-6 times a year) earthquakes. Usually 3-5 points. Previously, specially kept snakes. Those felt the approach of the earthquake for 1-1.5 hours. The maze didn't impress me. Ruins ruins. Freshly squeezed juice 1.5-3 euros 300 grams.
Then we went to the capital - Heraklion. About 260 thousand inhabitants. From Freedom Square and the Astoria Hotel we went to the Cathedral of St. Titus. Paul brought the news of Christ, and then Titus founded a Christian church here.
Then a free walk around the city. We went to the pier, walked around the center, among the shops. The "Russians" are treated well here. We ate at the cafe. Portions are very large in European style. We walked around the park. Passing by the prefecture, we noticed a lot of posters and inscriptions. The content for the government is not very pleasant.
Then we went to the museum of Cretan life - Lychnostatis. We looked at how families lived in the 18th and 20th centuries. We got acquainted with national crafts. Those who wish even tried themselves in them. Children happily stomped on the grapes. We tried national drinks (rosehip tincture with cinnamon) and food. We saw the first jet ski, learned that it was invented in Crete. We got acquainted with national dances.
At 19-10 we arrived at the hotel. Tired, but did not regret the trip.
Return.
The bus was late. To the hotel, the driver did not want to drive up. I had to go with things to the bus about 500 meters. We arrived at the airport an hour before departure. The queues are very long. The staff refuses to help despite the fact that we are late for the plane. As a result, the plane waited for me an extra half an hour. The stewards tried to reproach me, but I spoke out. The flight went well. I liked the small screen that transmitted information about the flight and our location. Wonderful scenery outside the window. Flying up to Moscow, they noticed fires, although not many. Landing harsh, but all ended well.
