Хороший отель, для для семейного отдыха на море Good hotel for a family vacation on the sea

I liked the rest in general. Pros: nice sandy beach and clear sea 10 meters from the hotel. The climatization passed quickly, there is no such heat as in Turkey or Egypt. The north wind almost always blew and there was excitement on the sea, sometimes quieter, sometimes stronger. It's more interesting for me to swim with waves.
Cons appeared during trips by car. We rented a car for 2 days through a representative of a travel agency for 100 Euros Volkswagen hatchback mechanic (in a nearby village it costs 70-80 Euros). He advised us where to go. Expectations were on the ruble and impressions in the end for a penny. Knossos Palace is a bunch of ruins with wall paintings preserved in two places. The city of St. George, as we were told by the local Venice, turned out to be an ordinary, not big, unremarkable coastal town. We went there to have lunch in a small tavern, so they fed us with selected filth (Greek salad without olives and from unripe tomatoes, spicy meatballs that the child did not eat, instead of the ordered fried pork there were pieces of not tasty stew, instead of a vegetable side dish - pickled cucumbers with some kind of beans, instead of spaghetti - small boiled pasta). The vaunted beach in the bay of the city of Istra turned out to be an ordinary beach, only packed to capacity with cars and people. There were also water cheesecakes and other wheelchairs, which is a minus for us personally. The only thing that caused positive emotions was the monastery. The next day we went to Heraklion to the port for fresh fish. Fish is expensive from 15 Euro per kg and above. They also asked us to clean it there. We asked the representative of the travel agency where we can see the big bazaar on the island. He advised us to visit the city of Haina on Thursday. We eventually found this bazaar somehow (it's called Agora, we were told by one Ukrainian woman working in a flower shop how to find it). Agora turned out to be an unremarkable bazaar with two rows of stalls with the usual range of products. Another representative of western Ukraine lured her to her tavern to dine there, who fed her wife and daughter cutlets, after which they spent the whole evening and night on the toilet, suffering from stomach pains.
After that, another myth was destroyed from the guide that food is good everywhere here. We preferred to cook our own food.

Were at the turtle lake. An ordinary small lake with a bad shore (you can swim only from a catamaran) and with a complete absence of turtles and other living creatures.
We were on the beach in Bali. Dirty beach with muddy water.
Were in the cave Milidoni (not far from Bali). I was impressed by the views when we drove along the mountain serpentine. The exotic and Sami village of Milidoni with narrow streets, we literally drove between the chairs on which the Greeks were sitting. The cave turned out to be not very large (40 meters in diameter), but exotic and darkish, a little creepy.
In the end, we realized that our beach is the best time for driving.
