Наш отдых в Италии Our holiday in Italy

My husband and I were in Rimini for a week at the beginning of September 2013, we stayed at the Milton Hotel. The hotel is excellent, the service is at a high level, the food is excellent - they offer champagne for breakfast, but I am silent about dinners (everything is very good). We had a standard room on the 5th floor, not big, but with a sea view and the room itself is very beautiful. The beach across the road is sandy, the sea is shallow and looks like the Black Sea, and the city of Rimini itself reminded me of the resorts on the Black Sea coast. A typical tourist seaside town. On the coastline there are a large number of restaurants, ice cream parlors and small shops filled with souvenirs and Chinese junk. There is a park-alley with a fountain next to the hotel. The historic center of the city is 15 minutes at a leisurely pace, the center is nice, small, typical Italian. On Saturdays, the market, again with Chinese junk. They say that on some days they hold an antique market, but we were only a week and this is clearly not enough to see everything, even in such a small town. We went on a couple of excursions. We went to Venice with the tour agency Alexander, advised by his friends who vacationed here in the summer. Nearby in Rimini is a beautiful state on the mountain - San Marino. We also went there with Alexander, visited several outlets along the way, but shopping was not the main goal, although in Italy it is definitely cheaper than in our country. I really liked that the trips take place on minibuses, the cars are clean and new, the groups are small, which allows you to agree on a change in time or route. In general, we liked everything, but a week is not enough for a trip to such a beautiful country as Italy, we still have a lot to see here.
