Visited Akrathos Hotel 3* in May 2013 as part of a promotional tour.
I will begin with a short story about the holy monasticism of Athos.
Agios Athos (in Greek "Agion Oros", that is, the Holy Mountain) is a peninsula in Eastern Greece, in the Chalkidiki region. In the southeastern part of the peninsula rises Mount Athos with a height of 2033 meters. For the Orthodox of the whole world, Athos is one of the main holy places, the earthly lot of the Mother of God. The peninsula of Athos has been considered holy since ancient times. The ancient Greeks erected here a number of temples dedicated to Apollo and Zeus. The sanctuary of Zeus was called Aphos, hence the name of the peninsula.
The first monastery was founded in 963. A century later, a law was passed, according to which women, children and even female animals are forbidden to set foot on Athos. This ban remains in force, and its non-compliance is punishable by imprisonment for up to 2 years.
But it’s easier for male tourists to get to the holy land, but you need to open a visa (cost 25 euros)
You can admire the holy land, with its monasteries, untouched nature by taking an excursion, the cruise "Holy Athos", listening to the guide, you will observe eight of the twenty operating monasteries from a distance of 500 m. The cruise gives guests the opportunity to get acquainted with the history and architecture of Athos.
The landscape in this region is mountainous terrain, serpentine roads and, of course, coniferous forests, pure relaxation and complete peace ...
But Athos is rich not only in shrines, but also in first-class hotels with infrastructure, beaches and quality service.
Akrathos Hotel 3 * is located 4 km from Ouranoupoli, 8 km from Ierissos, 125 km from Macedonia Airport Thessaloniki.
It consists of six three-story buildings located on a green hill.
Beach
The beach can be reached by the bridge, or by going down the hill. Sunbeds and an umbrella cost 3 euros/set.
Nutrition
We dined at this hotel, food - monotonous - but tasty. Be sure to eat seafood, vegetables, sweets.
Rooms
As for a 3 * hotel - not even bad - clean, tidy, has everything you need, the bathroom is in order (modestly but tastefully)
Entertainment
In this regard, the hotel is calm, there is no active animation here, evening entertainment program (1-2 times a week in high season).
* Transfer
Bus stop 80 m from the hotel. Every day, 2 times a day, the hotel's minibus runs along the route: hotel - Ouranoupoli - hotel (extra charge). New! On Tuesdays, the hotel transfer to the village of Ierissos (to the market) - for an extra charge.
I recommend this hotel for a relaxing, relaxing holiday.
