We chose a hotel not so far from the airport, so we decided to look in the Nea Potidea area, choosing between Potidea Palace, Portes Beach, and Istion. We selected the tour at the last moment, so the first two hotels no longer had free rooms suitable for us, as a result, we flew to Istion. The hotel has a modern design, well-groomed territory, the hotel itself consists of many small detached buildings scattered throughout the territory. In appearance, the buildings look more like private villas than a hotel, I really liked the large balconies, it's even more of a loggia. The room is also spacious, everything is done in beige and brown tones, the room has two single beds, an armchair, a round table and two chairs, next to it is a table with a chair near the mirror, a flat TV hangs on the wall, there are Russian channels. The bath is small, but it also feels like everything is new, the plumbing works properly, there was a basket with soap accessories next to the washbasin upon arrival, in the future, all this was replenished during cleaning. The bath is not a shower, but a bath, with a plastic sliding door from splashes, there are no curtains. The balcony has very comfortable furniture, two armchairs and a wicker table, an ashtray, our balcony overlooked the sea. The food at the hotel is very good, if you do not pay much attention to the breakfasts, which, in principle, are standard and do not differ in special variety, then we really liked the lunches and dinners. We didn't try everything, but what we ate was very tasty. In addition to the indoor restaurant, there is also an outdoor area, where we especially liked to drink coffee in the morning. The hotel has a lot of vacationers from Russia, the service here has also been tailored to our needs, in addition to the Russian-speaking hotel staff, there were always representatives of the tour operator, Russian young students, in the hotel in the morning and in the evening. There are two swimming pools on the territory, sunbeds and umbrellas at no extra charge, on the beach too, as for the beach itself, the hotel is on the first line, the sea is clean, the beach itself is sand and pebble, but at the entrance there are pebbles and it’s not very pleasant for the feet, some swam in a special shoes. Separately, I want to say about the area, there is almost nothing near the hotel, you can walk to the village of Potidea, but you have to walk along the highway, there are no roadsides here, so the walk can be extreme, the hotel near Potidea Palace has a market with souvenirs, water, sweets, beach accessories are also sold there, there is a wine cellar on the lower floor of this market, we bought several bottles there as a gift home, a little further if you go, there is an excellent Tarkenliz confectionery, it's just something with something! I have never eaten such goodies in my life, I strongly advise you to look into this place. And so the place itself is quiet, there are several bars in Potidea, you can still take a taxi to Mudanya, there are several banks, taverns on the waterfront, once we got there, there was a live music concert on the waterfront, very impressed. In general, we really liked Halkidiki.
The hotel is pleasant, everything is conducive to a great vacation, but more I would advise families to go here, young people can be bored. Have a great trip everyone!
