За небольшие деньги-нормальный отель Good value hotel for little money

Came to Cyprus for the first time. Flew from Kyiv "Aerosvit" in 2 hours 40 minutes. We arrived at the hotel at 17:00. They settled us immediately. First we were given a two-room suite on the ground floor. There was also a kitchen with a refrigerator, stove, sink, dishes, air conditioning, TV (though both without a remote control), and a terrace with a table and chairs. But after 3 days we were told that we were flooding the basement and moved us to a standard room. There is already no smell of a kitchen, a refrigerator, but a TV and a conder with remote controls, a tiny balcony where a table and one chair-2 people can hardly fit there. As for all the rooms, the furniture is old, the plaster is cracked in some places, but everything worked properly (although in the first room the drain did not work well in the sink), the water was hot and cold all the time, there was no fungus in the bathroom. Towels were changed 2 times a week, cleaning was noticeable only by the fact that the garbage disappeared from the baskets. Our meals were breakfast and dinner. Breakfast was always the same: tea, coffee, juices, milk, 2 types of cereal, boiled eggs, toast, 2 types of jam, margarine, sausage, cheese, cucumbers or tomatoes. For dinner, bread, margarine, a salad of tomatoes and cucumbers, and a type of salad with mayonnaise, one hot meat or fish dish, rice or potatoes or pasta, and some kind of hot vegetable dish. Once changed dinner for lunch, no problem. For lunch, everything is brought to you on the table - first, second, dessert. We did not go hungry, the food was quite decent. The pool on the territory is small, we never swam in it, the sea is nearby, so I can’t say anything about it, but the people swam there, sunbathed. There are Russian-speaking girls at the reception, but even with non-speaking girls, you can agree on everything on your fingers (I'm not friends with English). They took ice in the room, iron (20 euro deposit). An adapter for an outlet costs 1.15 euros in the store, but the hotel rents 3 euros, of which 2 are returned upon departure. But that's all about the hotel. If you leave the hotel and turn left, and then left again, then after 7 minutes. walk to Mackenzie Beach. A long coastline, a beach with a blue flag, where he wanted, he lay down on the sand. Sun loungers and umbrellas for 2.5 euros. The sea is shallow, very warm, and very clean. . If you go the other way for 15-20 minutes, then you get to the Finikoundes beach, everything is the same, only it seemed to me that the water there is a little muddier (next to the port). There are many cafes and kiosks on the embankment - you can eat a hot dog for 1 euro and drink beer for the same amount (or ice cream), or you can eat more satisfying meze from 13 euros and more, an average of 25 euros for two. The portions are very large, if you order meat or fish, then a side dish and salad will be brought along with it. Near the hotel there are also a lot of all sorts of cafes, you will always find where to eat, the prices are about the same. Behind the hotel there is a small shop, there is water (2.5), juices, sausage, cheese, bread, canned food, everything is there so as not to die of hunger. In the center, not far from the Finikoundes alley, there is a Smart supermarket where you can buy everything you might need. In the center there are many souvenir shops, shops of famous brands. Right there on the alley you can take a bus and for 3 euros you can get to Ayia Napa and Nissi Beach, it is considered the coolest - fine white sand, clear blue sea-kaotins from the Bounty advertisement. Also not far from Finikundes there is something to see from history: the Turkish fort (entrance 1.7 euros), the church of St. Lazarus (on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 9-00 there is something like a free tour with a Russian-speaking guide), there is a museum right next to the church (1 euro). Not very far from the hotel is a salt lake, on the shore of which there is an old mosque, you can also see it. Of the excursions, there were only one, called "Following Aphrodite" (75 euros from the nose), lasts all day, visited the birthplace of Aphrodite, her bath, temple, dined and were at a wine tasting. In general, excursions are quite expensive, from 68 euros to 400 (this is already outside of Cyprus). We didn’t rent a car - left-hand traffic is not inspiring, but on average it costs 30 euros per day, usually for at least 3 days + you pay for a full tank, rental at every turn. Well, that's basically all in a nutshell. We were satisfied with the rest - the weather in mid-September was excellent, the sea was just beyond praise, the people are very kind, everyone smiles at you, asks how you are, but they don’t grab your hand and don’t try to sell something. Feels like Europe
