отличный отдых для считающих деньги great vacation for those who count money

We rested in August 2014 at the Triton Hotel in Malia. The host in Greece is Kalamaki travel. We were taken to the hotel by a taxi driver in a Mercedes Benz, which of course pleased us) However, when we left the airport, it turned out that our transport had to deliver 2 more people to the hotel - so we had to wait 20-30 minutes until they passed customs control and pleased us with their presence ...The distance from Heraklion airport to Malia is 30 km, so we arrived quickly. Arriving at the hotel at 10 am and talked with the lady at the reception, they found out that the check-in to the room was only from 12 and before that time no one would settle us anywhere ...It's good that we arrived at 10 am, and not at 5 ....
It should be noted that breakfast, as it turned out, was not included in the cost of living and only one drink was offered for breakfast ...After reading the reviews about the hotel, we decided to clarify in advance about the additional payment for air conditioning (the tour company from which we bought the ticket at home was told that air conditioning was included in the price vouchers), but the young lady-administrator began to say something indistinct and forgive my French “move out” that she only told our tour company that there was air conditioning in the room, but she didn’t say that it was included in the price ...It must be added that accommodation at we were paid for the half-board program, perhaps this was the reason for the “departure” ...In general, we had no desire to wait for a room for 2 hours at the reception and we changed clothes and went to the sea ...This is if you leave the hotel - on the right.
On the first beach, an enterprising employee began to speak Russian and found out that we were on the 1st day and offered us to immediately “free” to lie under an umbrella and on sunbeds ...After reading the reviews that “free” is for 5 euros, we went further to the right, where at least 3 other entrepreneurs of the same kind also offered to lie down “for free” ...But we went further where there was a small piece of sandy beach without sunbeds ...we didn’t really like the cleanliness of the water there and we decided to explore the left side of the coast ...as a result, the sea on that side turned out to be one of the cleanest that we managed to see in Crete ...It should be noted that the meeting with the guide of the host side was scheduled for 11.

40, we came to the reception and it turned out that the guide was late ...The delay dragged on for 20-30 minutes, which we waited at the reception ...When we did see the guide, the first question was - will we have to pay for air conditioning, because the administrator hints at what you have to do ...The guide said that he would figure it out now ...After making a call and talking with the administrator, it turned out that we still didn’t need to pay for air conditioning ...Advice for you - if you go to this hotel, don’t be too lazy to clarify this issue with your tour company at home and what would it be registered in your ticket - because if the hotel tells you that you need to pay extra for air conditioning - you could file a complaint with your tour company upon returning home ...And in general, you need to show that you came to rest, and not in order to be bred there ...we lived in a room on the 1st floor in the main building ...The room had a TV, air conditioning, a refrigerator and a safe (for extra charge).
fee), a shower with round-the-clock hot water… The room is modest, but when we chose this hotel, we realized it… We were lucky with the neighbors - there were no violent ones… Regarding the half board, we had included breakfast with drinks and dinner without drinks (regular water is free ) ...Breakfast - European - ham, cheese, vegetables, milk porridge, croissants, etc. ...Dinner - varied food + watermelon, thanks to which I personally did not need additional drinks)) Lunch can be ordered for 10 euros, drinks are also paid extra ...For the price - it's not expensive, especially if you eat a lot ...Since we left the hotel at 7.20 and we did not get breakfast, a couple of sandwiches and drinks were prepared for us in advance ...
The location of the hotel is the city center ...At the expense of the city of Malia itself - a bustling resort town, many cafes and restaurants, on the main street (near McDonald's) - all the main nightclubs of the city are located ...The contingent in these institutions is schoolchildren and students from Europe ...Also starting in the evening, the same students and schoolchildren on ATVs fly in large numbers through the streets of the city ...Be mentally prepared for this when you go for a walk - because there are practically no sidewalks in this city and you will have to share the road with these not always sane comrades ...
At the expense of excursions - the guide, of course, advised us to buy excursions from them, and as it turned out later, the difference between their offer and the tour of a street company was about 20 euros ...For car rental - the difference was 12 euros ...We went on the tour alone (if you leave the hotel to the left, there will immediately be a car rental and excursions, and they speak Russian there) on about.

Spinalonga and Agust Nicolas… a great excursion – a boat trip, a delicious lunch (which is prepared by the ship’s team), swimming on a wild beach and a walk along Agust Nicolas… After the tour, we decided to drive around Crete by car and see something interesting… car rental companies more than enough… Russian is not spoken everywhere… if you don’t know English at a sufficient level, then I advise you to rent a car in a company that speaks Russian… The prices there are different - from 40 euros per day… I also advise you to pay attention to that is, whether the car has insurance ...Depending on your interests, you can consult where you can go and what you can see directly in the appropriate company .. .
