отличный вариант для экономичного отдыха great option for an economical holiday

In mid-May, I went with my girlfriend on vacation to Greece, we thought for a long time where exactly to go, and yet our choice fell on the island of Crete. The girl in the office of Mouzenidis was anxious, quickly picked up a tour for us, since our trip was spontaneous, we did not have a big budget, so we were offered the inexpensive Minos Village hotel. The hotel is located just 5 km from the airport and 6 km from the island's capital city Heraklion in the small village of Karteross. We arrived on a morning flight, and even though we were allowed to check in after 2:00 pm, we were immediately given a room.
We had a standard double room. Spacious room with two beds, there are bedside tables on the sides, the room has air conditioning, a refrigerator and a plasma TV, the room is clean and comfortable. The bathroom is small, but everything works properly, there is a towel and a hair dryer.
The hotel area is small, but there is a pool for adults, quite deep (1.2-2m) and a pool for younger guests.

For children there is a playground with slides and swings. Free Wi-Fi is available throughout the territory, and even in a five-star hotel, the Internet did not work as well as in this hotel.
The hotel operates on an all-inclusive basis, the food can be called modest, but really tasty, home-cooked. Breakfasts were standard, like everywhere else: yogurt, omelettes, vegetables, cheeses, etc. etc. For lunch and dinner, poultry, pork or lamb were cooked, the side dish was also a choice.
The beach here, of course, is gorgeous, there is a beach bar on the shore, for us, for guests of the Minos Village hotel, there was a discount on sunbeds, so we bought them there for 3 euros (2 sunbeds and 1 umbrella). The beach itself is sandy, but at the entrance of the sea the pebbles are large, so for me personally it was not very comfortable.
There are several taverns and shops not far from the hotel, you can walk there in the evening, there is a stop nearby where the city bus runs every 30 minutes, you can take it to the capital of the island. But I advise you to buy a bus ticket in the mini market opposite, where the ticket is cheaper than buying it on the bus.
In general, I am completely satisfied with my trip, I really liked this hotel, although it is small, it is very cozy, very good, cheerful, helpful people work here, for whom the opinion of every tourist is very important. I made a good conclusion for myself that you don’t need to spend a lot of money overpaying for a hotel when you can have a great time in a hotel with a lower star rating! Therefore, my opinion: I advise, believe me, you will like it!
