A good hotel, I lived in a suite room, the room is spacious, with a large soft bed (believe me, this is very important because when I came to the hotel tired in the evening, I immediately went to bed), since the room had air conditioning, I did not die from the heat, It was always cool for me. At the hotel, all the staff speaks English and Greek, except for the girls from the reception, they also know Russian, so there were no problems (I'm talking about a misunderstanding). I contacted the house daily, as there is excellent Wi-Fi throughout the entire hotel. I came for 2 weeks, so there was a lot of time. At first I wanted to take a break from everything and everyone. Therefore, I sunbathed on the beach, swam in the sea, even though it was already not quite warm. After all, I'm from Russia, and we're hot girls, aren't we? The hotel also has a spa, I went to a massage room a couple of times, I really liked it, because the Greek girl is a professional in her field, and the price is reasonable (1.5 h-10 euros), and I also really liked that the visit gym is free. Since I was already in Greece last year with my husband, I visited the main proposed excursions. This time, I thought about it and decided that I would go to one of the pilgrimage programs, as it is very interesting, I would like to see the difference between Greek and Russian Orthodoxy, the differences between monasteries, etc. Of all the pilgrimage programs, I decided to go on a tour of the holy places of Veria, I not only liked this trip, I was delighted with it! All temples and monasteries are magnificent in their own way. I especially remember the Skete of John the Baptist, since we visited 2 caves nearby - a small one, where St. Dionysius of Olympus and the big one, where such a famous saint as Gregory Palamas got involved, it seems he is the founder of hesychasm. The place is very beautiful, having been there, I seemed to be renewed, my soul became very light. I was also impressed by the monastery of Panagia Sumela, the guide told a very interesting story, I sharpened my attention to this saint and respectfully bowed to the famous image of the Mother of God of Sumela. In general, I received a lot of useful information from this excursion, I touched the particles of many relics, my emotions are overwhelming, because not every day there is such an opportunity to become closer to God.
