spent with my husband on the wonderful island of Crete, Greece. Start
the trip was perfect, the plane we flew in was very
comfortable, the flight time did not pass noticeably, but we did not become earlier
time to rejoice, as we still had to wait for luggage and transfer to
hotel. But even here luck smiled at us, they immediately found the suitcases, after which we
very cordially greeted, put on a minibus, waited another 10 minutes
other tourists and went on our journey, guide Olya, on the way to the hotel
told very interestingly and informatively that they did not even notice how
arrived
before
For relaxation, we chose the Edem Beach hotel. This hotel positions itself as
economical hotel, so you should not expect something special from it, everything
simple but tasteful. The staff at the hotel greeted us well, the girl on
receptionist, and as it seemed to us, part-time and the hostess of the hotel, immediately
She settled us, told us everything about our room and hotel services. We have
there were breakfasts and dinners, the room had a good kitchen, where there was everything for
cooking. Nearby there are many taverns and cafes, for every taste, from
seafood to local fast food, so sometimes we cooked ourselves when
was too lazy to go to the tavern. Breakfast at the hotel was modest but delicious.
As for the hotel itself, it is cozy and bright. There is a swimming pool, go to the sea 3
minutes. We noticed that many people with children rest here, as it is very convenient
a gentle entrance to the sea, which is important (we made a note for the future).
Our room was 1 for two, but the room was large and spacious,
cleaned frequently and cleanly. It was clear that the hotel was renovated, everything is fresh and
new. Of course, not everything is so perfect, sometimes the air conditioner worked with
intermittently, he made a very loud noise, but having told the hostess about this, she quickly
caused
masters
And
US
eliminated
this
problem.
It was great that the bus stop is right in front of the hotel.
We went to the city of Rethymnon almost every day. We also went on a tour
Gramvousa and Balos bay. Very beautiful place, really heavenly
a corner, like in an advertisement for Bounty chocolate, our guide Madina told us so
(huge hello to her). In general, we were delighted with the rest. Rest is over
very quickly, next time we will definitely take a ticket for 2 weeks,
to fully enjoy this stunning island of Crete!
The room was spacious and had a sea view as booked. Air conditioning in the room is paid, the refrigerator is free. On the first day we went for dinner and were not disappointed - the choice is not huge, but still, we didn’t go hungry, everything was delicious and fresh. There is a swimming pool, playground. The safe is also paid, if that. The rooms, I want to say, are small, but everything works properly and cleanly, which is important. But what a view from the balcony. Indescribable beauty.
Sunbathing went to the nearest beach, this is the beach of the hotel, with green umbrellas. The beach is huge. There are enough umbrellas and sunbeds for everyone, but remember that they are also paid. In principle, according to the experience of trips of friends and ourselves, if you are not all inclusive and you are relaxing in a C grade, then almost all additional services will be paid. So keep in mind. But we liked everything. There were no surprises.
For the entire period of rest, we traveled with excursions almost the entire island. They were purchased from a hotel guide, a representative of the company - Elena. She told about all the programs and helped to make a vacation plan at our request, so that it would not be tiring for the children. Most of all we remember the Cretan evening and, of course, Santorini, we never regretted that we chose the program with air travel!
The territory is clean, there is a swimming pool and a children's section of the pool with fresh water, they are carefully looked after, there was no smell of bleach.
The beach is also nothing sandy and pebbly, sun loungers are provided for an additional fee. Located 50 meters from the hotel.
Also near the hotel there is a bus stop (about 100m), you can independently travel to various areas of the stunning island of Crete, which breathes the epochal history of ancient Greece. But for convenience, we took a car and independently traveled almost the entire island up and down.
