We were looking for a budget hotel for two people. They were very satisfied with the offer. Quiet, cozy place surrounded by greenery and flowers. They settled us in building B, located on the first line overlooking the sea. It so happened that we were the only Russians in this group. The rest of the people are Greek families, then the Germans stopped by. The room is clean and comfortable with a kitchen. From dishes cups, plates. knives, forks, glasses. Everything worked in the room, nothing leaked, although we heard complaints from other tourists. The food is quite. Breakfast - muesli, milk, ham, sausage, hard and soft cheese, eggs in various forms, tomatoes, cucumbers. sour cream, muffins, jams, coffee, tea, soft drinks. Dinners are very tasty and varied. You will have to buy fruits yourself. To the village of Gerakini 1km. During the day it is hard in the heat, but we sometimes went. Water was bought in the village in a package quite inexpensively (a bottle at the hotel is 2 euros), Eating deliciously in a tavern with wine or mineral water for two is 30-40 euros, you can even for 20 without wine. The beach is small but cozy. When the hotel is completely full, it is always half empty, which was very pleasing. Umbrella and 2 sun loungers 8 euros, We always rested under an umbrella, but on our mats for free, like many vacationers. The sea is 28 degrees of amazing purity. The hotel has a very good entrance to the water, sandy, so we swam without slippers, no hedgehogs !! ! If you want to see hedgehogs, take a mask, slippers and go a little to the side on the stones. The hotel is well located for excursions: at the base of the finger. The road takes less time than those who lived at the "nail". Be sure to visit Meteora, you will see monasteries and landscapes of mesmerizing beauty. Departure from the hotel 5:40 (from Vilar tour) By the way, they have very well organized excursions. Visit Thessaloniki. If from another company, then specify the route. Vilar drops off at the White Tower (museum) at 11:00 and gives time for shopping. T, k. they all close at 2pm. Instead of shops, you can go to museums: the White Tower, the Archaeological Museum, the Museum of Byzantine Art. It is desirable to know English in order to read the information, but even without English there is something to see. At 14:00, everyone is put on a bus and taken to the observation deck and to the Cathedral of Dmitry Solonsky. Other firms may have the opposite: first the cathedral and the playground, then free time, but the shops are already closed, and the museums are far away. In the village you can rent from a bicycle (7 euros a day) to a motorcycle, up to a car 40 euros a day, petrol 1 euro. If you want to ride on the "palts", you will sometimes have to pay tolls on motorways. Be sure to visit the other side of Sithonia. You will never forget these lagoons. There is no entertainment at the hotel, except for a modest Greek evening. But it was much more pleasant for us to sit with a glass of wine on the balcony or in the tavern. There are always a lot of Greeks with small children in the hotel. It is noisy, but not for long. It didn't bother us. Pleasantly relaxing was the fact that I didn't have to think about the left things. They left everything on the beach: a player, glasses, a camera and went for a walk along the coast. Documents and money were left in the room. Everything is whole. Once the wind blew caps off the mats. It was too lazy to leave the sea. We only saw that one lady got up from the sunbed, "caught up" with her caps, put them in their place and pressed each one with a pebble. As it turned out, it was a German. Oh, how nice it is to go to Europe and at least for a while feel like a man. So if you want a quiet, measured rest, then the Greek village is waiting for you!
