From July 7.2014, we rested at the Porto Carras Sithonia hotel with a friend.
We traveled to many countries, but the sea that is located here is one of the warmest and most beautiful. Gorgeous beach, warm water. We spent most of the time at sea, so the room was of little interest to us, although, of course, there was something to complain about.
The cuisine at the hotel is not bad, but at first it seemed that everything was the same, but because they realized that it was worth paying attention to the theme of the evening, then the variety of all dishes was clear. There is chicken, and pork, and beef, and lamb. A fairly wide selection of desserts, and so much so that kilograms of weight increase at the speed of light, and it is impossible to deny yourself anything! Fruit was also a good choice, but be aware that they are cut into pieces. Somehow this surprised us, but it did not cause any special problems. Piece by piece.

At the pools, some evening events took place almost every day, we certainly expected that it would be much more fun and brighter, but in terms of animation, the staff is clearly not enough. Well, nothing - we are looking for positive moments everywhere - but we had a good rest and slept well.
We also got into a storm, there was a terrible rain, after which the Russian TV channel stopped working, but then everything was fixed, of course. We heard that the people and the rooms were flooded, etc. , but we were not affected.
There is a small village nearby, where you can visit the market on Thursday mornings, where we bought all sorts of souvenirs and gifts, both edible and not. You can also buy fresh fruits, vegetables, spices and much more.
We had a hammam and a sauna in free access, so after arrival we immediately did all sorts of peelings so that the tan lays down better. The agency said that the coarse sand on the beach, but it looks more like small pebbles. But there was no disappointment - a quite comfortable beach, and you can’t bring sand to your room with you.
The rooms are not new, of course, but everything is quite cozy and comfortable, there were no problems with plumbing, but only the minibar was empty upon arrival, they just didn’t have time, as the receptionist told us, to fill it up, not the best excuse for high service, well, what now .
10 days of rest and therefore you don’t get around much, so we didn’t go anywhere except for a trip near Athos to the icon of the All-Tsaritsa and the belt, we wanted to for a long time, we were tired of sailing on a ship all day, but we got what we wanted. A chic excursion, everyone who was with us was happy too.
I will not advise anything to anyone, everyone decides for himself, because, apparently, everyone has a different opinion, someone liked it here, someone did not. We were fine.
