Крит, он и в Африке Крит Crete, he is in Africa Crete

If your journey is via Heraklion airport, get ready for a 3-4 hour bus ride. This is perhaps the most frustrating part of the entire trip. The road is picturesque, but you are stuffed with unnecessary information about excursions there, and they just keep silent on the way back. Accompanied Kalamaki travel in Crete. Judging by the announcement stand for Russian speakers, they are monopolists. So they don't stress. So the hotel. Almost everything in the manual is true. Only missed one big +. Near the hotel is another hotel of the same network, on the map it is on the right, there are no borders for tourists, only they don’t pour in bars. Therefore, the total area is huge. Nearby there is nothing else-writhing. To Platanis 15-20 minutes of a quick step. Near the highway and there you can go by regular car wherever you want, but there is no pliz car for hire. But we didn't really want to. Composition of tourists: 70% Scandinavians, the rest from all over Europe. Russian speakers were met by 8 people in our race. The neighboring half of the hotel is positioned more expensive and ours are not there. The hotel is very cozy, good especially for children. Animation seems to be there, but it is almost invisible, everything is in English. The food is super, but not enough purely Greek cuisine. Drinks by all are quite tolerable. But if you come across a room with a private pool (like me), all other shortcomings will be forgotten immediately. It's worth the ride. Didn't hear much noise. The lobby bar closes at 24-00 and there is complete silence. There are a lot of greens. The beach is sand. The entrance to the sea is pebbles (it’s more convenient in slippers. There are only umbrellas and sun loungers on the beach, there is NOTHING else at all. Not a single attraction. Yes, and not a single slide by the pools. You don’t need to go here for entertainment. There is a quiet seal rest.
