We rested in Albatros from 16.09. 10 to 26.09. ten.
Before choosing a hotel, I studied all the hotel reviews for a very long time. Crete in Hersonissos, so I decided to write briefly for future tourists of this hotel myself. Why Hersonissos? ! Because the city is located not far from the airport, party places and local attractions : )
The travel agency sold us a tour to a 4 * hotel, on some sites it is listed as 3 *. But in fact it turns out to be 5 * and is called Albatros Spa & Resort.
It takes 40 minutes to get from the airport to the hotel, including all arrivals at other hotels.
The hotel is great! Consists of three buildings, two of which are new. We asked for a room in the new build (new tower) in advance in Moscow. Which is exactly what we got.
The rooms are large with large balconies with chairs and a table for a wonderful time, there is a clothes dryer. The rooms have everything you need to relax. I especially note the hair dryer, free safe and refrigerator. There are two small swimming pools on site.
The service at the hotel is amazing! The staff is polite and pleasant.
The hotel operates on the HB system (breakfast and dinner). Continental breakfasts are delicious and varied (cereals, yoghurts, sausage, cheese, fruits, sausages, scrambled eggs with bacon, pancakes, cakes). Tea-coffee-juices-milk for breakfast for free. Coffee is poured by the waiters, while saying “Kalimera! " ("Good morning").
Dinners are very good tasty and high quality. There are sweet cakes, meat, fish, Greek salad, fruit, pizza, pasta, fries, rice, grill, ice cream, all free and always replenished. At dinner, all drinks are paid.
The sea is next to the hotel, the beach is sandy. But the entrance to the sea right in front of the hotel is not very good, a lot of boulders. It’s worth moving a little to the left, that’s where the entrance is what you need! Umbrellas-chaise lounges for a fee. It didn't bother us to lie on towels : )
Near the hotel there are many different shops, souvenirs and products, ATV/motorbike/car rental, many taverns.
Supermarkets sell everything you need. For example, from 2.5 euros wine; )
The hotel is within walking distance to the party street of Hersonissos. Young people hang out all night, moving from one club to another. We liked the club for Russians "Tiger" the most. The hotel has an ideal location for those who are looking for evening fun and at the same time are not ready to fully plunge into the bustling life of the young! Although the streets are always noisy, day and night, because everyone rides bikes. By the way, the fine for those who do not ride in a helmet is 300 euros.
We rented a car for 4 days, a quad bike for 2 days and a motorbike for 1 day. We ourselves went to the cave of Zeus, Malia, Knossos Palace, Ierapetra, Heraklion, Crete Aquarium, Bali village, Aquapark, Agios Nicholas. In Crete, many rent cars and travel around the island according to the guidebook. We bought the guide in Moscow, but here are the detailed maps of Fr.
Crete can be taken for free at the hotel reception, or from those from whom you rent a car. You can park your car anywhere, we left right under the windows of our room. Car rental from 35 euros / day, motobike / quad bike 25 euros / day. The more days you take, the better. Tip: before renting a vehicle, go through several companies and find out the price. In principle, they are not very different, but for those who care about it, it will come in handy.
Excursions from a tour operator are expensive. For example, the Palace of Knossos costs 40 euros per person. And we went on a day off on Sunday, and the entrance was free. It turns out that they spent only on gasoline. For those who do not have the opportunity to rent a car, then at the bus station in Heraklion you can buy tickets to all directions of the island. And in general it is convenient to plan your vacation yourself and not depend on anyone!
We called up with relatives through a payphone. There are payphones on every corner. Communication is very cheap.
At the bottom of the hotel, in the supermarket, we bought a payphone card called "Dynamite" for 5 euros 2000 minutes. During the rest, we talked a little more than a thousand minutes ...: ) How to call is written on the back of the card.
As a gift, of course, olive oil was brought to relatives (in a tin, which is very convenient to carry in a suitcase), olives, soap, etc.
In taverns you can always eat tasty and inexpensive. The advice “take one serving for two” was very useful to us! Portions are big! For lunch for two, we got from 17 to 30 euros, along with cocktails / beer / wine. The traditional Greek dish "Moussaka" costs from 6 to 8 euros in taverns. Grape snails 12 euros large portion. In taverns, while waiting for an order, they serve either grapes, or nuts, or crackers (which are put in a Greek salad), and after a meal they can bring ouzo : )
The Cretan people are measured, friendly, smiling and treat the Russian people well.
The island of Crete has very beautiful landscapes, especially in the mountains, it takes your breath away!
I note that all the reviews about this hotel turned out to be true.
Would love to come back to Crete again! I liked absolutely everything!
