If you have a limited budget, but you want to go to the sea and Greece - then in CALYPSO HOTEL SIVIRI 2 *. The previous negative reviews are all true. We have been to many places in Greece and Siviri turned out to be the most unattractive place even of those where we were. Greece is such a diverse and large country that you can relax in much more attractive resorts and beautiful good beaches. The presence of a large number of tourists is explained simply - the economy of recreation and the proximity of the resort to Serbia, Macedonia. Most tourists from these countries come by car for a week.
The village itself is small, simple, not far from the hotel there is a small church and a supermarket. There is silence on the outskirts, in the evenings the embankment comes to life, music sounds in taverns. A narrow river flows into the sea, which divides the beach into two parts. Biological waste, musty smell, blooming water merge into this river! To the right of the ditch river, in Siviri itself, the beach is "overcrowded", there are more people than we have seen anywhere on the beaches of the entire Mediterranean, the water is dirty, a suspension of water and sand, feathers from ducks swim with the children! If you are with your own towels, then you will have nowhere to stay, everything is crowded with sunbeds, you have to go to the right, but you won’t go far - stones and rocks begin, and in the sea - stones and algae. At first we swam to the right for sun loungers, but then we went to explore the coastline. We walked along the entire beach and found a beautiful bay at the very end of the promenade. Rocks, pine trees hang over the beach, there is a smell of pine resin, swimming there is a pleasure! Few people, clean clear sea, sandy bottom. 30-40 minutes walk from the hotel. We walked a couple of times along the rocks further than this beach, it is not deep there, somewhere along the water just below the waist, somewhere along the stones, we reached a distant cape, where the next village is visible.
To the left of the river, the beach is narrower and longer; If you cross it (it’s inconvenient to swim across - it’s shallow and you shuffle along this plate with your stomach), then the bottom is good - sand and clean water. About the hotel. There is no reception at the hotel. The hotel is on the outskirts of Siviri, a small, family run business. The hotel itself, rooms, bar, location - more or less decent. . Dining room in the basement, broken steps, dark room, old furniture, sticky tables, dirty floors, poorly washed dishes, coffee at breakfast (as in a bar) is not coffee, but a heated surrogate. Food in pans is brought by car from the Alexandros tavern, so there is nothing hot, everything is warm. The food is hearty, but monotonous, everything is overcooked and cooked in a fatty tomato-vegetable sauce (gravy), no matter what you eat - the taste is the same! Sometimes it was not clear what it was - chicken or pork. But we must pay tribute to the cook: the meat was always soft and tasty, only a couple of times there was a tough rubber liver. There were also a couple of times cutlets a la Soviet public catering. For lunch, soup and watermelon were served, but if you didn’t come in the front rows, you won’t get it. There were always fresh vegetables - tomatoes, cucumbers, onions, not always green salad. A roll in different variations for every taste - chopped (that's right), crackers and fried))) You won't stay hungry, you can always choose something, but I repeat - this tomato-vegetable sauce spoils everything! Once in all the time there was cauliflower, and they managed to boil it and spoil it with this sauce. What the tourists did not eat at lunch, it will be for dinner. There are very few Russians in the hotel, apparently, the previous negative reviews played a role. Tourists mainly come for a week by car from Macedonia, Serbia, Moldova.
About the guide of the host Beleon Tours. Ellie showed up once only to check return tickets and sell tours. The excursion to Olympus was postponed for a week, but Ellie did not call, did not confirm if this excursion was canceled again. Ellie also didn't tell us what time the transfer back to the airport was, the "hostess" told us at 6 am, the bus came at 6-25! The accompanying guide Demis was surprised, he has a completely different time according to the schedule! It is better to buy fruits from cars, both cheaper and better. At the end of the vacation, brown jellyfish appeared, the last three days the sea was restless, in the evenings - thunderstorms, it rained at night, flew away in the rain. The first time we left without regret, although we love Greece very much. Despite the negative points, nothing can spoil the impressions of Greece, the sea and the sun! But still, it is better to take a better hotel, even if only for breakfast and in another place.
