We have a fairly large family, me, my husband, and three children. We chose a holiday according to price and quality. The travel agent advised us to go to Greece, namely to Halkidiki, as there is an ideal climate and many places for family holidays. We chose Macedonian Sun Hotel.
Upon arrival at the airport, we easily found our check-in counters, polite girls showed us the right bus, we did not wait long for the others and set off on our way to our hotel. We arrived within an hour and a half. At the hotel we were met by a hotel guide, who immediately orientated us around the hotel.
After a quick check-in, we went to our room. We had room 904, a spacious, comfortable two-room apartment. A large double bed, and a sofa for the younger, while the older sons had their own room with two beds. The view from the room overlooked the pool.
The air conditioners worked properly, although the control panel was on the wall, and it was not always convenient to switch modes. The room was cleaned every day conscientiously. To get into the pool, you just had to go down.
We were on the second floor, where all the rooms of our category were located. At night, sometimes you could hear music from nightclubs. No wonder they were 10 minutes away. But the sea compensated for everything, a beautiful beach with clean sand is just a fairy tale. Children's club Grekoleto, where you could leave children with animators. Luda and Diana are professionals in their field, the children always returned happy from the club, a very diverse program, well done girls.
The cuisine is not too varied, but tasty, fresh products. A lot of sweets, and in the evenings they gave watermelon, gorged themselves on it.
We had a good rest, in principle, we liked everything, except for nightclubs.
Greece is a wonderful country, we will definitely come here again!
Room 325 was located on the second floor, you could even see the sea from the window. Inside is clean and comfortable. Towels changed and cleaned every day.
Unfortunately, when we stayed, the air conditioning did not work. But we were warned about this in advance when we bought the ticket. Air conditioners include only for July-August. The stuffiness in the room was solved by open windows. But since there is a natural area, there are mosquitoes. Therefore, it is better to stock up on protective equipment or you can buy it here on the spot.
There is a small pool with sunbeds and a bar.
The restaurant doesn't have a wide selection of food, but the food is very tasty. There was always fish, pork and chicken. Various side dishes, salads, cheeses, snacks, fruits.
Walk to the sea for 5-7 minutes, the beach was free, but sunbeds on the beach paid 7.5 euros. We just bought an umbrella for 10 euros from a nearby store and lay on towels.
From Friday to Saturday it was possible to drive to clubs. 10 minutes walk from the hotel. The place is quite good for young people. In addition, the hotel corresponds to the price of the tour. Therefore, I can recommend a hotel for young people, but there are also quite a few family ones here.
The check-in was quick, firstly, my room was ready, I just filled out a small card for the hotel and went to my room.
The room is not bad, there is enough space, a simple interior, the furniture is not new, it is comfortable, neat and clean in the room.
The hotel area is small and distinguished by its greenery and flowers, a calm and quiet place. The hotel operates on an all-inclusive basis, and throughout my stay the dishes were not repeated and everything was always fresh, there were fresh fruits, vegetables, desserts, soups, pork meat, beef, chicken, fish, different side dishes (potatoes, rice, pasta). Also on the all inclusive system there were free drinks at the pool bar and at the main bar, which was open until 12 at night.
The animation at the hotel is unobtrusive, but I went to the Pallini Beach Hotel. Comedy shows are arranged every evening, the guys are all great, the performances are all modern and funny. Sports games are held during the day - volleyball, basketball, table tennis, darts - in general, everyone will find something to do.
I chose a place to stay solely because of the activity, and I can safely recommend this place and the youth hotel as an economy option on vacation. At the same time, there is a village, nightlife, the Diaz tavern with insanely delicious seafood nearby. I am satisfied with my choice and rest, because I didn’t get bored in this place for a single day, and, of course, I recommend it to everyone.
The hotel staff is pleasant and accommodating. Special thanks to the woman - Vicki, who helped us sort out the room. By the way, about the rooms, the rooms are simple, three floors without any frills.
The food was interesting. At first we were a little upset that the choice was rather poor, but after a couple of days we were convinced of the opposite.
The hotel is located on the second coastline, that is, it takes about 5 minutes to walk to the sea. But on the other hand, the beach and the sea - there are simply no words, it must be felt and seen. As a nice bonus, we considered the family that you can use the infrastructure of neighboring hotels (Athos Palace and Pallini Beach). We went to the animation there, but our daughter did not get out of the local children's club Grekoleto, thanks to the girls animators?
The hotel guide helped us with any questions throughout the rest. If you are looking for a simple family vacation, then this hotel is just right for you.
Having visited almost all corners of sunny Greece, we decided to visit a place where we could relax and enjoy the beauty of the nature of this country. The hotel guide Philip was happy to help us choose an excursion for us - Aridea and Edessa. We arrived at a small waterfall and were able to walk through a beautiful park. After that we went to the thermal springs. It was there that we got the whole dose of pleasure from this "paradise". A small pool with mineral water, which is more like a natural one, where you can just soak in the pleasantly warm and relaxing water, and then in one second find yourself under a stream of a small ice waterfall. Having done such a contrast shower a couple of times, you immediately feel a couple of years younger. Nearby is a large, modern swimming pool, where you can also swim in the mountain waters. Of course, the entrance is paid, but the price is quite symbolic 2 and 3 euros for a small and a large pool, respectively. We had a lot of fun and just a real pleasure. After such a relaxation, the road home flew by very quickly. For everyone who just wants to relax, unwind and gain strength, this is probably one of the best excursions. Thank you very much for a good vacation!
Rested at the end of June. Small hotel in a nice area. I will say that I was satisfied with the hotel right away, although I, in fact, was absent there, either on the beach, or on excursions, or in bars, or in a club. It can be said that the only thing she did in the hotel was to eat and sleep. However, by this I can already say that the hotel is not bad, especially for those who do not sit still, who need to constantly move and come to the hotel to sleep. So I advise all those who have the same anatomical feature - that is, an awl in one place ? . Firstly, the hotel is well located, namely, it is located on the first finger of halkiliks, where, in principle, all life is in full swing. Moreover, next to the hotel are located, literally within walking distance, all the famous Halkidiki clubs and several music bars. That is, the hotel is definitely suitable for party-goers. Also literally 1.5 km away is the pretty village of Kallithea. The guide at the hotel said that it translates as "good view" and actually a good view. One of the evenings after the tour, I decided to sit down in one of the cafes and try the Helliniko coffee, traditional for Greece - Greek coffee. So imagine sitting in a cafe in Greece, on the edge of a cliff, drinking wonderfully brewed coffee, and in front of you is a sea of stunning flowers and a view of the second finger of Halkidiki-Sithonia - an incredible buzz. That's just for the sake of these sensations, probably worth coming here.
So that was, first of all. And secondly, the hotel actually justifies the price for which it is being sold. "Price-quality" - the magic words for every tourist. The way it is. Good rooms, a bit dark though. Good food, not varied - but all tasty. I was especially pleased with the staff - smiling and sociable people. And also thanks to a separate hotel guide Philip. I know, I got Philly for this vacation? Annoying tourists like me should be looked for. But he steadfastly endured and answered all questions with a smile. So thank you… for organizing the holiday. After all, she had a rest for more than 2 weeks, and when she got tired of partying in clubs and bars, but she couldn’t sit still, she had to go somewhere. First, I rented a car for a couple of days. Philip advised to go to Sithonia. And to be more precise, he, one might say, made up a whole route for me, where to go, what to see, where to eat. Guys, you will be in Halkidiki, you will take a car, remember the route: Sithonia (around the finger, with stops at Vourvourou, Karidi, Portokali, Sarti, Sykia, Porto Koufo, Neos Marmaras), then with a return to Kassandra with stops in NeaFokia and dinner at great place called Afytos - there are cool taverns. I know I wrote strange words - but if you go to these places, you won’t regret it, it’s incredible beauty: coves, wild beaches, greenery around, quiet Greek villages with their own special life, where tourists don’t especially appear. Great. I'm still impressed.
At the end of the holiday I went on an excursion "Aridea - Edessa". Just what you need at the end of your vacation. The beautiful city of Edessa and also the sea with a photograph near the waterfall, and then into the thermal springs - complete relaxation. I liked the tour very much. Hateful, light, pleasant, combining business with pleasure, so to speak. And soak in the thermal springs and take pictures in beautiful places. Thanks to the guide Yana, who was with us that day. And she introduced me to history, and told interesting facts about Greece, such a good educational program was during the tour.
In general, the holiday was excellent. I think I'll visit again. And the same place. There is still a lot of unknown, it turns out. ?
