отдых в Греции holidays in Greece

Rested from 05 to 16 October, at the end of the season. The hotel is quite 4 star. A room with a view of the sea - or rather - on part of the sea and on the nearby streets. The territory is clean and green. The beach is sandy, and it is worth noting that to the north along the coast, i. e. closer to the city of Rhodes - the beach becomes sandy and pebbly, and to the south - on the contrary, the sand becomes finer, so in the morning we ran barefoot along the edge of the water in a southerly direction. The guests at the hotel were 90% - European pension - they mostly sunbathed on the green lawn on site. I have never seen so many elderly people at the same time in my life. On the beach, sun loungers are paid - 3.5 euros per day. But many sunbathed by the pool or on the lawn, and went to swim in the sea. Moreover, things can be left on a sun lounger - no one stole.
The street of bars and discos, which I read about in the reviews before the trip, is really 50 meters from the hotel. But! - at the end of the season, all clubs and discos were already closed and some lanes seem deserted and sad. True, a couple of discos were still working, barkers were trying to invite and drag them there, but there were very few people, and the music, as it seemed to me, did not differ in purity of sound. However, taverns are open in the evening, there are many of them, as well as shops where you can buy anything you want. In general, you can come there without clothes, because everything you need for a beach holiday can be bought there - a swimsuit, a towel, slates, light clothes, a beach bag, a hat, etc. and quite inexpensive! There was also an amusement park and a bowling alley.
In the hotel itself there is a shop with simple provisions and water, souvenirs, necessary things, etc. ; jewelry store, small hairdresser, shoe and bag shop, car rental. There are also 4 computers with Internet access, costing 0.5 euros - 8 minutes, 1 euro - 16 minutes, 2 euros - 32 minutes.

The food is good, the main dishes were almost never repeated, but, like everywhere else in hotels, the buffet on the 5th-6th day no longer seems so varied, and you eat Greek salad and pasta... Perhaps this is just my subjective perception.
I didn’t swim in the pool, only in the sea, it was cool to go in, but then it’s very pleasant to swim, the water is clear - you can see the whole bottom even at a depth - beauty. The entrance to the sea is super-sand - you don’t have to go far to the depth. Next to it is a tent with a rental of water transport - a banana, pillows, a parachute, etc. at the end of the season, you can ride a parachute for 30 euros.
Friendly staff at the reception, we even managed to talk with a Greek woman about what they think about Russia. There were only 7 Russians in the hotel.
The rooms are modest. Didn't like it very much: white walls; only 1 Russian channel "SARAFAN" - probably the most idiotic of all possible! - only on the first day they showed "Heart of a Dog", then, however, they repeated it for 2 days, and the rest of the days - only UZBEK CARTOONS!! ! Well, you can't do that! I had to watch the BBC - at least something to find out what was happening in the world. In this regard, Tez-tour should certainly work. ; water disappeared at the most crucial moment, had to wait 2-3 minutes; there is no hair dryer in the bathroom - I had to take it with me, there is no shower cap; carpeting is most likely vacuumed only after guests leave the room; audibility between numbers is too good. Otherwise, everything is fine, once they “forgot” to leave a towel for the legs, I left 1.5 euros the next day - they didn’t forget it anymore.
The hotel guide, Ognyana, was quite friendly and explained everything well. But the tour guide was Athena - just super - she knows history very well and, what is important, she knows how to tell interesting things.
In general, we traveled the whole island with excursions and did not regret it. Very interesting and lots of great photos.
