изумительный остров Крит the amazing island of Crete

I couldn't resist not writing a review about Crete. We rested from 06/22/13 to 07/02/13 in the south of Crete, the Libyan Sea, the Blue Star Dessole 4 hotel. Quiet, family, small. 1st line by the sea (the amazing color of the Libyan Sea), a small area. Vacationers - entirely Russian-speaking, just a little - Greeks. There is practically nothing nearby (greenhouses, olive trees) 10-15 minutes by car to the town of Ieropetra.
Pros: -Amazing to the depths of the soul, friendliness, goodwill, a desire to help the stupid tourists of the Cretans. At the same time, not a drop of importunity, characteristic of many friends of the Russian people. Lack of knowledge of English does not interfere with communication; a mixture of Russian, English, Greek and gestures did not let us down;
- good food. The pastry is just amazing. Fresh fruits. We didn’t have time for cherries and strawberries, but watermelons, kiwi, oranges, bananas, peaches, melons, apples, grapefruits, apricots pleased us. Meat dishes are getting better every day. For 2 euros - freshly squeezed orange juice.

- 2 evenings in 11 days there was live music of a very good performance
- Every day the room was cleaned, towels changed, every other day - bed linen
The hotel guide Julia is a wonderful responsive girl, she could always ask and get help.
Wi-Fi throughout the territory and on the shore. Which was also very convenient.
Cons: - remoteness from the busier territory of Crete
, all historical, archaeological sites were far from us. To the capital of Crete - Heraklion - more than 2 hours. Therefore, they mastered only 2 excursions from Pegasus. It is more likely to rent a car, after all, it is more profitable in the sense of self-acquaintance with the island.
The hotel is a quiet family hotel, but vacationers without children are a bit boring, there is nowhere to get out for a change.
And the fattest minus is the entrance to the sea. A variety of boulders, pebbles, stones, plus the restless sea makes it very difficult to enter it. Considering that the sea was also turbulent, not very warm, this makes the problem significant. At the same time, the sea is clean, you can see everything that is on the sand. Next year, the hotel is going to correct this mistake and do something for a comfortable entrance to the sea.
Separately, I want to say a few words about the tour guide Svetlana. Without it, excursions would be completely uninteresting. She is also an amazing storyteller. It will be imprinted in my memory: the amazing color of the sea and the amazing guide.
Thanks to the hotel staff, management, Pegasus representatives for our wonderful stay.
