We recently rested with a friend at the Kassandra Palace Hotel, which is located in Halkidiki and here are my impressions…
First, let me tell you a little about the hotel and how we got there. We flew to Macedonia Airport, where we were immediately met in the lobby with a sign and helped to decide where to go next. Then we got on the bus, it was with comfortable seats and double-decker)))). Of course, we went upstairs in order to better see the beauty of Greece. The road was easy, and we were at the hotel after 1.5 hours, all this time we were accompanied by a transfer girl who told us a lot of useful things about Greece.
When we arrived we were met by the receptionist George and the girl Elena. We went into the hall, on the left side is the reception. Since we arrived in the evening, before we were settled, we went to dinner at the hotel restaurant, which I will write about later. After a hearty dinner : -) we checked into room 318, the receptionist helped us with our suitcases and we quickly got there by elevator.

The room opens with a key card, we immediately asked for two separate beds and our request was fulfilled without any problems. The room itself is bright, clean and very comfortable. Soft beds, plasma TV, new furniture and excellent plumbing. Spacious balcony where you can arrange gatherings with the whole company))). The room has a safe, hairdryer, refrigerator and everything you need. Every day they gave clean towels and shower accessories (shampoo, shower gels, soap and even shower caps). The cleaning is very high quality and they come mainly at the time when we were at sea, so there was a feeling that cleanliness came by magic.
The next day we went for a walk around the territory, right in front of
breakfast. The territory is large, very green. In addition to the main building, there are about a dozen more two-story houses with rooms. On the territory there is a tavern, a tennis court, a playground, several bars, two swimming pools and a private beach. Everything is very clean and tidy, there are a large number of gardeners who monitor the state of vegetation and the cleanliness of the territory.
Then we went to breakfast. The food at the hotel is very good and quite varied: hot in the morning, and yoghurts, and juices, and fruits, and whatever you want. ))) Dinners are also very tasty, the cuisine is both Greek and European: salads, hot dishes, pastries, ice cream, soups and a huge variety of fruits. Kiwi, cherries, watermelons, melons, apples, pears, peaches, nectarines. The restaurant is big and clean, all the waiters are in uniform and very friendly, nice guys especially Thassos and George : -) . All tables are beautifully set, and the dishes are arranged according to all the rules of etiquette.
As for the beach, it is good, sand and small pebbles, there are stones at the entrance, a little dangerous, there may be hedgehogs, but if you swim where the bar is, then there is nothing, only sand. On the beach, sun loungers and umbrellas are all free. The bar offered soft drinks, alcohol and snacks.
But as for the bar, we liked the one downstairs in the hotel lobby more. There is a very nice bartender Iliaz, who gave us discounts on drinks. A very interesting man, speaks excellent English, and Marina, my friend, constantly communicated with him.
In the evenings we walked in Pefkohori in a bar called Sushi and went to clubs in Kallithea. I really liked Ahoy, a noisy, youth clubhouse, a lot of young people hang out. And in the afternoon we went on a shuttle bus to Kriopigi, sit in a cafe and bought a couple of excursions.

We went to Meteora-Corfu and Thessaloniki for shopping, I was delighted with shopping, such discounts are good, I brought home a whole suitcase of new things. And they themselves drove around Halkidiki when they rented a car at the Rent a car office on the minus ground floor of the hotel. Dima, who works there, advised us on all issues.
On the minus ground floor there is also Mouzenidis' office, a kids club, a shop, a billiard room and a spa center with a gym. The shop is really small, but the spa is wonderful. Sauna, hammam, indoor pool, massage room, manicure table and many other services. The gym is free and we often went there to shake the fat after a hearty lunch))).
As for the animation, unfortunately it is not in the hotel, though a couple of times there was live music and themed dinners in the restaurant, Greek or Italian.
If you wish, you can go out in the evening to the restaurant, which is located directly opposite the hotel, it is lively there in the evenings and the music always plays and the cuisine is wonderful.
In general, we liked the hotel, everything is wonderful there and it corresponds to its five. The only drawback is the lack of animation and sufficient remoteness from settlements. But this was not a problem, you could always get somewhere by KTEL (this is a bus) or a taxi. But in general, everything is wonderful, we were delighted and full of positive impressions.
We recommend the hotel to everyone and in general Halkidiki is a wonderful place... Having been here, I really fell in love with Greece : -), we will fly again next year)))! The hotel is excellent, we recommend it to everyone!
