My husband and I rested at the Sousouras hotel in the village of Hanioti (peninsular Kassandra) at the end of May 2007. We were very pleased with the rest. The hotel, in my opinion, is an excellent combination of price = quality. About the hotel: the hotel is a three-star hotel, but I would rate it as a four-point minus. The location of the hotel is excellent: on the seashore and at the same time literally 50 meters from the central square of the village. The staff is very friendly and welcoming. We lived in the main building overlooking the sea.

On the territory of the hotel there are several more bungalows that overlook the territory, by the way, very well-groomed and green. But being on the sea, I find it better to have a sea view. The only thing that could overshadow this idyll is that in a nearby hotel on the beach every evening there was a disco and all sorts of musical entertainment. It didn’t bother us at all, but with small children, it’s probably better to settle in a bungalow - it’s quiet there. The room is spacious.

There is a hairdryer in the room, a TV set (although we didn’t find the declared Russian channel, but we weren’t upset either. We could have contacted the reception, but we absolutely didn’t need a TV set), two beds, a dressing table, an armchair - in general, enough furniture. The pool is large, with a children's paddock.

Sunbeds by the pool - free of charge, by the sea - for a fee (6-7 euros / 2 sunbeds and an umbrella). Meals: half board. Breakfast: standard set (cereals, eggs, buns, jams, cheese, sausage). For dinner, there were dishes of meat, fish, poultry, various side dishes, tomatoes, cucumbers, salad, and desserts. We were satisfied with the food, for 11 days it did not become boring. I think that it makes no sense to take all inc, because in the village there are charming taverns and restaurants at every step. You can have lunch for about 10-15 euros per person (for example, a Greek salad costs 5-6 euros, a barbecue 6-7 euros), a bottle of wine 5-7 euros. You can also in fast food restaurants: various gyro-pita (shawarma, in our opinion) - 2 euros.
Muck is rare, like all shawarmas. Although there were practically no empty seats there at lunchtime.

Regarding wine and all that: on one of the streets adjacent to the square there is a small shop with liquor products, there is almost everything there: various Greek wines (moreover, if a bottle of wine in the supermarket on the square cost 7 euros, then the same wine in this store - 3 euros), cognacs, bacardi, martinis, beer, gin and tonics, and everything is much cheaper.

Excursions: there are excursions to Athens, to Meteora (60 euros), to Athos 50 euros (by boat along the peninsula), to Thessaloniki, to Kastoria for fur coats. We bought from a guide, but the village has its own agencies, where it is ~ 10 euros cheaper. There is a bike rental (8 euros / day), ATVs (35 euros / day) and cars. In short, don't get bored. True, there are no discotheques. But the most disco place in the neighboring village, you can get there. Chanioti is a charming green resort village, it is pleasant to wander along its streets.
There are a lot of open taverns, bars, souvenir shops ...We really liked Greece and the Greeks. We will definitely come back to Greece!
