We rested in Greece for the first time, but believe me, there is something to compare with other countries. The location of the hotel was chosen from the fact that it is far from "civilization" and there will be fewer people, especially Russian speakers. I wanted to relax, and give my ears a rest as well. I must say that the hotel is located, probably, in one of the most beautiful places (in terms of nature) in Greece. The real Klondike: mountains, coniferous forest, clear sea...We also went "in the middle" of mainland Greece, there are mostly plains and hills...One of the huge advantages, in my opinion, is that the hotel is located on the territory of the reserve, the area which, if I'm not mistaken, is 1700 hectares. We tried to explore it as much as possible, of course, as far as forces allowed. all the most interesting and beautiful is "FOR" ....If you rent bikes, as we did, and ride through the park (by the way, there are bike paths) towards the bays (there are already 25 of them), enjoy a truly beautiful view .
well-groomed coves, where there is just nobody!! ! You can swim and sunbathe naked (and so on and so forth), in general, for sweet couples - what you need! Those who like to just lie on sunbeds on a common beach will not see even a part of the beauty that they could see ...As for the sunbeds on the beach itself .....then, unfortunately, when a lot of "Slavs" arrived on the third day of rest ", they really began to be occupied from early morning, while leaving towels on them, which lay there until lunchtime, unoccupied by anyone. But for those who do not particularly bother (like us, for example), the nearby beach of the Meliton hotel is free (because all the guests of Meliton are on our beach and not only). It's just that the beach bar worked on our beach, and those who find it difficult to raise their ass and go for a drink themselves (and such 90%) lay closer to the bar (although the waiters walked all over the beach). Such is the mentality of our Slavic soul .....
To be honest, for the first 2 days there was no queue at the restaurant, no rudeness in the same queue, no rudeness to the same waiters ...When a big uncle, who came from Muhosransk, shouts to the waitress - "Hey, girl! ", It becomes a shame for such ...Or when the father of the family pushes half the line in a restaurant, pushing a pregnant woman with his shoulders ....There are many such examples, we will not spray ourselves ...As for the number of waiters, it really could be increased, since, to me personally , they were sorry, they had to run! And the dishes in the evening just fell out of my hands. But, personally, we never had to wait for anything, they approached us immediately and always (perhaps because we are always positive and it always works). FOOD. It may seem to some that the assortment was small, especially for breakfast, but in any case, we don’t have breakfast like that at home ....

As for dinner, there are no complaints at all (there were always 3-4 types of cape, 2-3 types of fish, all kinds of salads and national dishes). The cuisine, in general, is quite tasty, but high-calorie. Diet meals were also present, as was children's dairy cuisine. Availability of child seats. The hotel has a good children's room, where there are many different educational toys (specially came in and looked). Best of all for children - the group is international, of different ages, and everyone finds a common language! For adults, just learn ....The hotel has swimming pools, illuminated in the evening, very beautiful. Although I don’t understand those who splash in bleach when such a gorgeous sea is nearby ...in general, the territory is well-groomed, pleasantly pleasing to the eye. Inside the hotel, the situation is also nothing. The disadvantages include the work of elevators (there are 3, but they are not enough). Particularly surprising is the fact when people stand for 5 minutes waiting for the elevator to go up from the 1st to the 2nd floor...Now about the room....
We paid extra for the sea view 100 euros. I must say right away that their sea view implies a side partial sea view, and so on the contrary, these are only suites. The room itself is quite decent, although some minor imperfections are visible. Cleaning. Cleaned every day, but I will not say that it is good. So very superficially (they made the bed, changed towels, put shampoo and somehow vacuumed, so we didn’t leave a tip. Fortunately, there are two of us, and we ourselves kept order, because we weren’t used to piggy. I also want to say that the cleaners They don’t speak Russian and don’t knock on the door. So my husband and I lay naked on the bed (thank God, what happens after), she went in without knocking, put clean towels in the bathroom and quietly left ...As if she hadn’t even come in So always, if anything, hang a sign "Do Not Disturb". Mini bar is paid. However, room service is very fast.
We had a locked safe upon arrival, so we had not yet had time to go upstairs, as the master was already standing at the door, waiting for us. Everything was done quickly. Pleased with the animation team. I like to have an active rest, so for me the advantage is the presence of yoga in the morning, aerobics, water aerobics, water polo volleyball and darts. Animators walk along the beach and gather people for classes. Many are "dead weight" on sunbeds, especially after a hearty meal. In the evening at the hotel you could go to the Blue bar, where there was live music. True, everything is already there for a fee. A cup of coffee averages 4-5 euros. Alcohol - I don’t know, because I don’t drink. Meeting party Mousinidis Travel. The staff is young, even very...The girls are interns. All questions are answered, but nothing more. As in Turkey, no one will drag you by the hand on an excursion. At the expense of excursions, they were on Meteora and on Olympus. Olympus is just an observation deck. Just a beautiful view.
And I really liked Meteora. These are active monasteries on the rocks. In addition to the beautiful view, this is also a very interesting place with its strong energy. Special thanks to the guide Konstantin. all the way (6 hours there and 6 back) he told a lot of interesting things, just an encyclopedia, not an uncle. Well done!

You can also bring a fur coat from souvenirs (although I bought it cheaper from us), we got olive soap (I liked it very much, especially in combination with their soft tap water, which does not stink of chlorine), wine, they say, is not for everyone, but the rest - the same Chinese trifles ...On the territory of the hotel there is a train, where you can ride and drink wine in the tasting room for free. In general, we liked the hotel. One of the few places I would like to visit again.
