Greece is an interesting country in the light of history, sights.
As for the rest in Chalkidki itself, I want to note that the sea is very clean and transparent. But the beach, since it is a municipal one, is not very clean, it is not cleaned every day. In general, in two weeks I have never seen it cleaned. But this does not mean that it is overgrown with mud and there is no place to step, it is not so. Everything is ok but could be cleaner. The hotel itself is very good.
Breakfasts are normal, tea, coffee, dry breakfasts, cheese, sausage and canned peaches, not Turkey, of course, with its abundance, but again quite decently. Rooms are modest but clean can't complain. There is a swimming pool and a small garden.

There are no discos, only in the neighboring Pivkahori - 4 km on foot or by taxi, we mastered it on foot, so that the atmosphere is calm even at night. Either in Kalefei it is 15 km, there is definitely a taxi 9 there is better choice there). Restaurants have a peculiarity - the menu is written everywhere as a blueprint, everywhere is the same, but we must pay tribute to the amazingly delicious seafood. Sweets - Turkish, baklava, etc. however, they are still arguing with the Turks for the ownership of this culinary masterpiece. Russian speakers are already working in many of them (our former Georgians mostly). Many people speak Russian, because there are a lot of emigrants from Georgia there.
Most importantly, since the borders with Albania and Bulgaria were opened this year, guest performers came. Thus, in our hotel, 9 rooms were robbed in a row.
It all started with the number of our St. Petersburg neighbors. The guys returning from a visit to Athos found that 1000 rubles and BOOTS were stolen from them !!!! ! Moreover, their sizes were different 41 and 45. The staff of hotel 9, represented by a girl named Vicky, also a former resident of Georgia, said that they stole from each other, while young people lived in the same room.
Then it happened to us. The next day, returning home not early, we found that the window was open (in fact, the door was simply broken open with a plastic card). The suitcase was cut with a knife and the zipper was torn out. Our neighbor heard the screams and found that in general, the same thing happened to her. We called the police though. In the morning we found out that at 10 pm, the ladies from our group were robbed of the room, but the hotel staff stubbornly pretended that everything was in order and did not call the police. Further, we were denied compensation for the suitcase, namely, Mr. Issa, who is the manager of the hotel, decided that he did not want to talk to me. But after spending a couple of days with the police instead of the beach, I was still able to apply, by the way, the local sheriff turned out to be a decent uncle and accepted the application without problems, and I’m already waving the document in front of the manager, I demanded compensation, but alas, my friend turned around and left showing his back, although I warned him that I will do my best and, first of all, I will warn all tourists so that this does not happen again. To the credit of Olga Tours, I was paid the cost of a new suitcase. Be careful to hand over everything to the safe, on the beach, too, try not to leave things unattended. But in general, the impression of the rest is pleasant. Have a nice holiday.
