Hotel: consists of two parts: the main building and small two-story buildings - there are several of them. The buildings are not new, the interior is simple, nothing superfluous and nothing new. Old elevators, old carpets in the corridors, old furniture, old doors, etc. However, the modesty of the interiors does not spoil the overall impression! Everything is VERY clean, no foreign smells. The area is wonderful, lots of greenery, surrounded by trees. There is only one pool, tiles are laid somewhere around it, and mostly a green lawn. The pool itself is small, but enough for everyone.

Location: I will only say one thing: far from the sea! I had to go to the sea in the morning for about 15 minutes with a calm step - that's nothing, but to return in the afternoon in the sun - this is really a test. We went at the end of August - it was very hot, so we had to immediately cool down in the pool in the hotel before going up to the room.

Kallithea is a small village, a few hotels, a few restaurants and eateries, and no discos! Very quiet and calm. If you want to hang out, you are in Faliraki or Rhodes. It takes about 10 minutes to go there and there by bus. Buses run until 23 or 24, I don’t remember.

Check-in: very fast. As soon as we approached the reception, we were immediately registered and given the key to the room.

Number: We took the standard. No money was put into the passport. The aunt at the reception was very friendly, gave us the key, explained how to get there and immediately told us about breakfasts, dinners, lunches, etc. We settled in the main building, second floor. Inside the room is modest, the furniture is not new, but not Soviet. Everything is very clean, there is a wardrobe, a balcony, a TV with Russian TV, air conditioning.
The bathroom leaves much to be desired, and the point is not at all that the plumbing is outdated, but that our room and the neighboring room had a common ventilation pipe, and through the grate from it you could see the neighboring bathroom! ! The conclusion can be made simple - the audibility was, as if someone, excuse me, was coping next to you ...I always had to close the bathroom door so as not to hear the conversations (and not only) of the neighbors))))

Staff: friendly, smiling. . The reception is always ready to help. We applied several times - and how to get / get where they will tell, they gave me a card)) Little things - but nice))) But they don’t speak Russian, if you are friends with English - there will be no problems)

The contingent of vacationers: mostly British ....they seem to be everywhere. Noisy, annoying and sitting at the bar in the evenings...We rested for 2 weeks and just wondered if they go anywhere outside the hotel at all...

Food: very, very good for a trio! !

I went with my husband, he prefers meat to salads, he was satisfied. Breakfast: a variety of pastries, eggs, sausage, cheese, feta, fried sausages, various cereals and muesli, milk, honey, Greek yogurt, fruits, vegetables, tea, coffee, mineral water, juices, soft drinks. We had half board, so just about dinners: several types of salads, soups, french fries, fried, rustic, pasta, pastas, pizzas, seafood, meat, fruits, vegetables, ice cream for dessert, pastries, drinks are all the same as for breakfast. And most importantly, everything is very tasty. In addition, it is not necessary to eat at the hotel, in Greece there are a lot of taverns with the most delicious food! ! A couple of times we changed dinner for lunch, and in the evening we went to the Panorama tavern - there is a wonderful owner and wonderful food.

Beach: it is a small bay, with a coastline of only 2 kilometers. The beach is wide enough, sand with pebbles, the closer to the water, the more pebbles. It hurts to get in and out of the water.
About 20 meters from the shore, stones begin under water, the deeper they are, the larger they are. I am a spectator, so it was a bit creepy for me to swim over these dark scary stones))) But the water is the cleanest, there was never any garbage and turbidity in the water for all 2 weeks of rest.

Car rental: for a long time we were looking for an office called Europcar, advised to us by a guide, like it is international and in which case we will not have problems with them ...so we searched and found this very office in some backwoods, where we were told that there are no more cars, all are rented ...although it seemed to us that there were no cars at all, it painfully resembles "horns and hooves. " We did not break off and went to the neighboring office of Independent Rent a Car. Wonderful staff, very friendly, there is a Russian-speaking guy, I don’t remember his name, he told us everything, gave a map, advised on the map where to go and what to see. We took a Nissan micra, automatic, for 12 hours for 45 euros with full insurance.

No surcharges. The condition is to return the car with the same amount of gasoline with which you received it. That's all)) We immediately drove south along the east coast. We visited everywhere, reached the kiss of the two seas, that is, to the southernmost point. We returned the same way around 21.00, refueled (by the way, the car eats very little, we refueled for 15-20 euros maximum, only once) and returned the car at 22.00 as stipulated in the contract. The second time we took in the same place, also for 12 hours, the same car, they gave us a discount of 5 euros. This time we traveled all over the west coast with visits to the valley of butterflies, to a mountain with a cross (I forgot the name) and wandering among the villages along serpentines)) We also returned the car at about 10 pm, the owner (a very friendly uncle who remembered us and made a discount ) did not even begin to check it with us, he just asked if everything was in order with gasoline)).

By the way, the police never met! !
But there it is not needed, because everyone drives very cultured.

Well, in conclusion, I will return to the hotel again. If you take away the range of the sea from your head, then the hotel is VERY, VERY worthy of its 3 stars! ! I would say that this is 4k, only with old furniture))) I can safely advise him. Lovers of a quiet unhurried rest, and most importantly silence at night - you are here! !
