В Греции все есть Greece has everything

We flew from St. Petersburg on a brand new Airbus to Thessaloniki (Macedonia Airport). We were met there by a comfortable brand new bus of Mouzenidis. 1 hour on an excellent road, at the same time there was an opportunity to look at the country. And here we are at the hotel. We were at the hotel at 12 noon. Five minutes and we have already provided our bungalow on the first coastline. To the sea 7 meters (not deceived) entry into the sea and the sea is just class! The condo is noisy but works properly, they brought a hairdryer with them, one large bed (for two) and one full bed for an adult child. Kitchen with stove, refrigerator. Bath bidet sink. The room is clean but not new. But the sea, nature, the very location of the hotel is just 100%. The food was good. Breakfast and dinner were all good. There were Greek days when grilled seafood was served at dinner. We rented a car in Panorama, their representative is at the reception, but we rented an office in the nearest village (Kallithea). My husband took a Mercedes. We went for a ride. We wanted to go to Meteora but it was very hot. As a result, we reached Thessaloniki and drove through Greek traffic jams, and that was enough for us. So they mastered the territory of our Cape Kasandra. Moreover, the nature there is very beautiful. We went to Mount Olympus in the Caves of Patras and were delighted with the watermelon vineyards of the peninsula. Photographed by Prof. camera views. Well, the landscapes are there! We ate in a tavern on the seashore where they fish right there. By the way, we had 3 grilled fish shrimp 1 dish bread buckwheat salad beer and juices + watermelon all 40 euros in the hotel with this money then we found out you can take only one item from what I listed (and there is no such landscape with fishermen) In general, I don’t like all these excursions from the hotel (and people who went to the calls are not happy) TAKE A CAR! At home, drive in the places you want to visit in the navigator and go ahead. Moreover, driving a car in Greece is in Finland. Greeks drive like we do in Russia. Fur coat! I bought a fur coat in the village of Kallithea, which is the nearest settlement. A super fur coat, let’s say more than 2 thousand euros, but it’s 2 times cheaper than the amount that you lay out for a similar one in St. Petersburg (and you’ll even get off your feet until you find it) There was no difference in Kastoria to go dragging the whole family because of five kopecks. Moreover, I knew the manufacturers' firms by heart in advance, and when I saw their branded stores, I simply visited them in Kallithea. Of course, in some stores they cheat and push China or low-grade fur coats for 5-6 thousand euros. But I understand furs and cuts, and I myself have lectured them. But it is definitely not worth going to a hyped place. Moreover, the sellers themselves talk about it. The branch prices are the same. When we were leaving at 45 o'clock in the morning, I saw a black cloud of people standing on the bus to Kastoria for fur coats. Imagine how many people go there (Russian) for fur coats. This is not a vacation already, but it’s not known what (this is my opinion) Moreover, Mouzenidis says that everything is free, but in fact, according to reviews, everything is agreed in advance with your guide and in fact there is no benefit from this trip and purchase. FREE CHEESE ONLY IN THE MOUSETRAP! Think for yourself. Well, back to our beach! We took masks and fins with us (by the way, we didn’t see branded ones anywhere in China, so for lovers, take them with you) We saw starfish and fish (of course, this is not the Red Sea), but still interesting. In general, the holiday was a success! Everyone is very satisfied. The people are very warm and there was no language barrier at all! In general, you need to go there yourself as a savage without travel agencies. Lots of hotels. You take a taxi or rent a car in Panorama (and you can leave it anywhere in Greece, they will pick it up themselves) And you just need to go to different hotels and places so you don’t feel like being tied to one hotel anymore! A beautiful country, wonderful people! I hope to come there again, because I haven't visited the acropolis yet!
