When choosing the Zantina hotel for my vacation, I proceeded from the considerations that I would spend my holidays swimming in the waters of the Aegean Sea, traveling around the island and walking along the romantic streets of the old city of Rethymno.
To be honest, this small, clean, cozy hotel, owned by a married couple, Maria and Kostas, perfectly suited my modest needs. As a student, I absolutely did not want to overpay for luxury in hotels where tables are bursting with all kinds of delicacies, and exquisite service will satisfy the demand of the most demanding guests. In addition, my vacation lasted 2 weeks, and the price for a hotel room was just in line with my budget.
Maria is an excellent cook, which I was convinced of every time at breakfast. I especially fell in love with her pies with feta cheese, literally melting in your mouth)) Speaking of food (and the hotel operates on a BB system), even though there was not much variety in the mornings, but how fresh and tasty all the dishes were, that I always went to breakfast with great anticipation.
I especially liked the location of the hotel. In my opinion, this is a huge advantage of the Zantina hotel over other city hotels. As soon as you step out of the hotel lobby, the endless sea stretches out in front of you, merging with the horizon in the morning, and turning into sunset colors in the evening. The beautiful sandy beach fringes the sea, while the cobbled promenade invites you to take a leisurely promenade after dinner and enjoy the refreshing sea breeze and live music from the many taverns, restaurants and cafes that invite you to your table. From my own experience I can say that in every restaurant you will find traditional Cretan cuisine. And, of course, be sure to order the same Greek salad. We assure you, its taste will not leave you indifferent! So juicy, fragrant and incredibly tasty) And so different from the salad we are used to living in central Russia.
I didn't sit still for a whole day! Guide girl Mouzenidis helped me plan my vacation so that I could see the most interesting places on the island, and at the same time, so that I had time to independently explore the town of Rethymno and its environs (I rode a brand new bike, rented). I saw Knossos, the incredibly beautiful plateau of Lassithi, the Venetian city of Chania, swam in the waters of the Libyan and Ionian seas and rested on the gorgeous beaches of Balos Island!
These holidays were unforgettable! From Crete, I took away a lot of impressions, gorgeous photos and, of course, I bought real olive oil, only now I cook with it and fill all salads with it))
Crete has always been in my heart and I am looking forward to my next vacation so I can come back again!
