Meals: Were with two children 4 and 5 years old - they have nothing to eat, there are few fruits and those are green, apples and bananas for children had to be hunted. Plums are green and sour, there are a lot of them because no one eats them. French fries 3 times a day, fish is very cheap, there is not enough of it and not every day.

Meals: Were with two children 4 and 5 years old - they have nothing to eat, there are few fruits and those are green, apples and bananas for children had to be hunted. Plums are green and sour, there are a lot of them because no one eats them.
French fries 3 times a day, fish is very cheap, there is not enough of it and not every day.
Animation - children's disco 30 minutes in the evening and all. The scenes are really primitive and are repeated every seven days - we were there for 3 weeks - we knew everything from memory.
Cleaning: The cleaners shouted all over the corridor, and at lunchtime, when the children were sleeping, my request to be quieter did not give any results, I had to call the reception - they calmed down, but on the second day everything happened again. They didn’t dust behind the chairs and under the beds for 2 weeks, until I called the manager and asked to clean it, the next day the cleaning lady didn’t say hello.
The free bus to Kerkyra (the capital) was regular but dirty.
The water is clear, there is some sand at the end of the beach, the rest is large pebbles, and the bridges are still broken and with nails. Not clean on the beach - cigarette butts, bits, a dead seagull, which has already decomposed and spread a disgusting smell.
I would not go there again and would not advise anyone to go.

2. Location: in the northern part of Corfu, 23 km from the city of Kerkyra (the capital of Corfu). From the hotel every day, except Suns and public holidays, a shuttle bus runs. Departure at 9.00, takes to the port, return collection there at 13.00. For the shuttle bass, a preliminary appointment is required the day before at the reception. Nissaki village of the same name is located 2.5 km from the hotel.
P. Nissaki is located right at the foot of the highest point of the island - Mount Pantokrator, from the top of which a view of incredible beauty opens up. There are also very beautiful beaches here. On the sand and pebble beach of Agni there is a small pier where you can sail on a boat to the nearest bays. On Kalami Beach, you can rent a boat and explore the sea and the bay on your own. Kerasia is considered the most beautiful beach of the island, due to the contrast of the turquoise sea and the white pebble coast.
3. Territory: large enough, green. Very beautiful sea view from the hotel (as well as everywhere in Corfu). Around the hotel - olive and cypress groves.
4. Exterior: outwardly it is very similar to the Crimean nomenklatura sanatorium of the Soviet times. But inside everything is very different from Soviet standards. In this hotel, as in many others on the island, the floor numbering system is still incomprehensible to me: here, to get to the 4th floor, you need to go down from the reception 2 floors down!
5. Rooms - 239 rooms: single and double rooms (sea view, side sea view, garden view), family rooms (one room, a bunk bed is provided for children), suites (sea view; bedroom + living room) . Possible accommodation: 1.2, 2+1.2+2. In the rooms: air conditioning, mini-bar (extra charge), refrigerator, safe - extra charge 2 euros / day (10 euros deposit), telephone, satellite TV, bath / shower, hairdryer, balcony / terrace.
6. Meal Plan: All Inclusive or Half Board. It is possible to rebook half board to all inclusive. This service will cost 18 euros per day per person. Restaurant, tavern, bar, lobby bar.
7. Beach: pebble. Umbrellas and sun loungers - for a surcharge of 5 euros. Beach towels - on deposit
8. For children: kids club (4-12 years old), children's pool with fresh water, playground, children's menu. Babysitting on request - extra charge. Baby cot - on request.
9. Gym for free. Spa - no
10. Wi-Fi Internet in public places - for a fee - 6 euros card for 5 hours.
11. For outdoor enthusiasts: diving, mini-golf (extra charge), beach volleyball, archery, tennis (extra charge).
12. Entertainment: live piano in the lobby in the evenings. Daytime and evening entertainment programs (daily). Billiards. Card tables.
13. Hotel services: currency exchange, car and motorcycle rental.
14. Parking (both for private cars and for rent).
15. There are no Russian-speaking staff.
16. What is worth seeing: an excursion to Corfu is, in my opinion, a must. In the city: the Church of St. Spyridon Trimifunsky, Liston (a vaulted colonnade with various cafes and restaurants), Spyanada (the square between the city and the Old Fortress), the old and new fortresses, the Mon Repos summer palace, etc. + A trip to the Kanoni peninsula (there is Blachernon Monastery, Mouse Island (Pontikonissi), Corfu International Airport with an unusually short runway starting right out of the water (it seems that planes land right into the sea).
Summary: 4 on a five-point scale. Good 4 stars. Rather for people who prefer solitude and peace. .

Corfu from the other side
(August 2008)
NISSAKI BEACH 4*
“The island of Corfu is an ideal place for a relaxing family and elite vacation, for sports lovers. The coast of the island with the cleanest beaches and the azure sea water of the Ionian Sea stretches for 217 km. ”- these are the phrases that begin many of the welcoming booklets of the island of Corfu and almost the introduction to all the hotels on this island. It's bewitching, isn't it?
So everything is in order:
Flight, transfer - everything is standard like everyone else.
The hotel is located really far from civilization. But there is one road - the one on which you will go by bus or car that you want to rent. You should not walk along it, because there is not enough space for cars, and even more so you won’t have enough.
The same road, only along the coast instead of houses there is a cliff on one side and a mountain on the other
The hotel itself and the room - everything is decently standard with a searching, but working air conditioner just for 4 *.
For those who will miss pets - I can please you, here you will find your happiness - a flock of red little ants in the bathroom will keep you company. They boldly run along the baseboards and seem to even shout something. They have been living here for a long time and react very calmly to new owners and the chemicals they are sprayed with. Don't kill them, feed them and try to tame them.
Food. The food at the hotel was 5 * at first, but by the end it went down to 4 *, although perhaps it just got corny. Arriving at the dining room, it pulls very strongly to the terrace overlooking the sea, well, who can resist having breakfast or dinner while enjoying the blue glow - of course no one can resist. So we, armed with a bunch of plates with all sorts of goodies, merrily ran out onto the terrace. Sat down. We started to eat. And then ...And now imagine that you went to collect, for example, blueberries (whoever collected will understand, and whoever does not - let them ask those who understand ). In shorts and a t-shirt.
We sat down by the hummock, got wine, laid out food. Got what I'm getting at?? ? - Yes, yes, that huge number of mosquitoes that wish to share a meal with you. And now move from the bump to the table, taking the wine, you can leave the shorts and T-shirt, and, attention, replace the mosquitoes with wasps. Yes, yes, those same yellow biting flies that, having bitten someone, die, because they cannot live without their tool. Of course, wasps are smaller than mosquitoes during berry picking, and apparently the wasps are still European and well-mannered there, because they only climb into food, but if you still brush it off, they won’t like it or she will decide that a piece of peach tastier on your lip than on a plate - you are guaranteed a bite. Statistics: my wife and I were not bitten, my child was bitten once. When I was on vacation, they bit my neighbors on the beach 2 times.
I want to say a separate word about the beach.
Regarding the fact that it is sand and pebble - complete nonsense.
There is no sand there at all, just the farther from the hotel - the smaller the pebbles and the more painfully it sucks into the legs. The width of the beach is 2 rows of lifelongs - in steps, well, like one-two-…-five, tightly packed to each other, for maximum profit multiplied by 2-2.5 Euro per chTuka. After the 2nd row, wooden bridges begin with broken boards in some places and protruding nail heads.
So, having come cheerful and satisfied after a delicious breakfast shared with wasps, to the beach, you can play an exciting game - “pick up a cigarette butt”.
The rules are as follows - collect cigarette butts around your schislong as quickly and as much as possible. The winner will have a prize, a sweet juicy peach, to which bees will fly with a cheerful buzz (they won’t leave you alone on the beach).
We must pay tribute to the sea - it is really clean, due to the fact that the pebbles.
All water activities are standard as elsewhere: catamaran-10E, scooter 50-60E (20 minutes), boat rental -70-100E per day + gasoline (1.5E per liter). Bananas, cheesecakes 10-15E per person. Parachute-60E.
Bassin - of course 2pcs, as it is written, but with chlorinated water, there is no question of sea.
Oh, I forgot, if you want to buy something in the store, well, like eat or drink - you know, you have to walk on foot, because we are with you in complete wilderness, and even if you reach the store that I told you now I’ll point out - there one fig is 2-4 times more expensive than in civilization, BUT, but it’s 2 times cheaper than in our hotel. So, we stand facing the sea, the hotel is on the left hand - on the right is a beautiful beach. We turn very sharply to the right and with a brisk step stomp along the footbridges towards the mountain along the beach. We climbed the hill - we go along the path ....- went to the next bay - it is smaller than ours . . Now the main thing - they were very surprised that, it turns out, your beach is cleaner than this one.
With a satisfied and sarcastic giggle, we turned right, following the sign, and found the store. Very surprised by the assortment, remembering with reverence "Auchan" or any other Supermarket - stocked up on booze - well, what's left? .
It's evening. Nothing to do, nowhere to go. On reflection, you still decide to go down to the beach, to the animators. And oh God!!! ! - You see your happiness, you have never seen anything like this before, such fun contests and funny presenters. Wrapping in toilet paper, drinking beer through a straw, popping balloons - yes, yes, this is exactly what you are missing right now. Having flooded, you flooded before you went down to the beach, with tequila or whiskey - all these contests amuse and delight you, because you know what to do and how it will end ..
Night - grab fumitox. Because with air conditioning, IMHO, I think you should not sleep, and mosquitoes will try to enter the open balcony and drink your blood.
But if you have previously made friends with the ants, agree that they would protect you ...
Separately, a story called a car for hire. Having met with our guide, Dima from Phoenix, we asked about the cars: Matiz 60E, Citroen 80E, etc. Dima assured us that by renting a car from THEM, you can not be afraid of anything, no matter what happens - NOTHING to pay will not be needed. Even if a bottle falls on your hood, you don't pay. Current rent and gasoline. Of course, we were delighted and almost agreed. BUT decided to find other suppliers of iron horses. We found them in the village of Nissaki itself, i. e. from the hotel up and to the left about 3.5 kilometers along the road (Latitude: N39grd43.614, Longitude: E19grd54.316).
There Matiz 40E, Citroen C3 60E. After talking with the landlord, it turned out that all insurances, like ours, OSAGO and CASCO, and CASCO do not apply to rental cars, i. e.
you take the current OSAGO and pay for all the damage to the car out of your own pocket, I thought strangely, but Dima promised. We took the C3 Citroen. Seeing then somehow Dima on respeshina and asking him the question “what the fuck.. ? "- he spread his hands and said" h. h. » You don’t conclude a contract with him on the account of the lease, but with the company and he doesn’t know business - well, he kind of got away, since he didn’t manage to get involved.
We rented a car for 3 days - that's a lot, just one is enough. Read the guide there everything is dangerous in detail where what and how, except that everywhere there is dirt and cigarette butts. I liked only 2 beaches - in the Agios Georgies area and some other in the Sidari area - they at least seem to clean up the dirt there.
Nice sandy beaches
And it’s also very funny to drive along the coast in some resort town where from the road 10 meters to the sea and at this interval people lie and sunbathe, nothing is fenced off and not hidden from prying eyes - on the edge - an iron mesh.
You lie like this under your nose, cars drive, dirt under you and a beautiful clear sea - romance, blah.
Mount Pankratos is worth a visit - really beautiful
and Corfu itself with their bridge to the airport.
The roads are terribly narrow and winding, sometimes 2 buses cannot pass and one has to give up back. When returning the car (on the Citroen, the fuel quantity lights are on) - in my case, I took it on fire 3, refueled, rode - it burns 2 (only 6). I fill 10l - 2 is on, + 10l - 2 is on. Damn, I thought, and filled in escho + 5l (gasoline at 1.3-1.5 Euro per liter). Iiii attention - fire 5pcs - i. e. almost a full tank. The car needs to be returned - I come and explain the situation, asking for money for at least 10 liters of gasoline - the answer is negative with sending away. Well no - yes no . Respect Russian vacationers, they know not only where the steering wheel and pedals are, but you boys and girls - do not let yourself be offended.
Water park - we went there through our guide Dima.
Mysteriously whispering that he will arrange that our 2-year-old son will be allowed in for free (he will take care of this) - he charged us 45E per person (in other hotels they took 35). It turned out that in the water park children under 4 years old are free of charge ...Dima - thank you, blah, benefactor. Water park - standard with a cold children's pool, with queues for slides. Not decorated with dirty toilets, apparently cleaned only at the end of the day . . Well, in general, a solid 3 plus (out of 5). Overall worth a visit.
After riding for 3 days - with the whole family we realized one thing - We have an excellent beach in our hotel !! ! Compared to what is happening on others. And the game "pick up a cigarette butt" - turned into a cute pastime with a sly giggle, while remembering all the other beaches.
Other beaches
Summary. In general, compared to where and how other hotels on the island are located, our hotel is a good hotel with a good beach and clear sea, with good food.
But the Greeks, at least on this island, are very, very far from the "elite vacation". All the beaches are dirty, somewhere less somewhere more. Some beaches are right next to the road and are sometimes fenced with a net and sometimes nothing at all ...Well, blah, plant some plants - make a hedge from cars ...
The Greeks are not particularly friendly and hospitable (as they say in books), to my question that they say we are leaving early in the morning and we need to prepare breakfast cereals for the morning - there was an answer that we were late for 1 hour - this is at 19:30 something, when it's 1.5 hours before the end of dinner, and they know at the reception that we are leaving early in the morning.
In general, rest on a solid 4-ku.
Who has any questions - Lumox@mail. ru. . There will be a desire and time to answer ...There are traffic tracks by car and marked points with shops and beaches where I was, because I went with a navigator.

The Greeks are not particularly friendly and hospitable (as they say in books), to my question that they say we are leaving early in the morning and we need to prepare breakfast cereals for the morning - there was an answer that we were late for 1 hour - this is at 19:30 something, when it's 1.5 hours before the end of dinner, and they know at the reception that we are leaving early in the morning.
In general, rest on a solid 4-ku.
Who has any questions - Lumox@mail. ru. . There will be a desire and time to answer ...There are traffic tracks by car and marked points with shops and beaches where I was, because I went with a navigator.

Nissaki Beach Hotel 4*/Category A, Kerkyra (Corfu), Greece, August 24-30.2008
AKHTUNG: the locals say Kerkyra, they even take offense at Kerkyr J And Corfu - that's what European barbarians generally say, not polite Russo tourists!
Flew from Capital Tours, hosted by Fenix. We took All Inclusive, which justified itself. A week for two cost 82 tr.
Flight options for other operators were understandable to Transaero, while Capital offered only the not very understandable Yamal Airlines. I immediately indicate that everything is on the level in Yamal - the Boeing 737 itself, and the catering, and service. Departure, however, almost at night (4:40), from Domodedovo, arrived at the hotel by 9 am local. The rooms were not ready until 13:00, but we were given All Inclusive bracelets and we went for breakfast, and then to the beach. Take everything with you and do not put deep into your suitcase what you need for the beach - and there is no problem to flip over for 4 hours.
The hotel was built in the 70s - 80s, in architecture it is very similar to the Crimean or Sochi trade union health resorts of the Soviet period (see photo) - architecture does not distract from natural beauties J
The room is acceptable, without luxury - but without obvious signs of destruction, the plumbing is new, everything works. The TV is old, the satellite takes 3 German channels, 2 Belgian, 2 Greek, 1 Czech, BBC and RTR-planet.
The air conditioner works normally, turns on when a key card is inserted into the slot. When the balcony door is open, it turns off automatically. At night, there is a choice - to sleep under the air conditioner or open the balcony and wait for the coolness of the night (comes at 4 in the morning). AHTUNG: who needs to charge a mobile phone or a laptop - an option only at night with a closed balcony (working air conditioning), or sit in a room and wait J
The maids and other staff are efficient and friendly. The Russian language practically "does not work" - only if the waitress turns out to be from the former Yugoslavia (such come across). The composition of the audience is approximately equal to our compatriots, British, Germans, Belgians and Italians. The audience is mostly family, with children - very even and calm. Is that the Italian kids communicate at the level of screaming, but still very fun and cute. I read in other reviews the indignation of the zealots of morality at the total topless European ladies - I hasten to reassure you, there is nothing like that here, everything is very chaste J
The tennis court is included in All Inclusive. The cover is concrete. Rackets give decent ones, but balls are deflated, and there are not enough of those! Take more with you, because the fence around the court is rather low, the balls fly away into the terrible thorny thickets and disappear.
The hotel is located in a very picturesque place, where two mountains part slightly from the sea.
Sea views are luxurious (see photo). Pebbles on the beach, no matter what they write in brochures (see photo). Swimming without rubber slippers is unrealistic. They cost 12 euros on the spot.
The sea is calm and clean - cleaner than in the cleanest places in Turkey, because there is no strong excitement that mud can bring - and in general, the human load per linear meter of the coast is many times less.
Inventory on the beach (sunbeds and umbrellas - see photo) are marked as paid, but we were not able to see the moment when payments were received from vacationers. On the beach, in fact, sunbathing is not easy - the effect of a frying pan. Most of the guests take places on the platform above the beach and near the pool. Here you need to try - for example, get up at 8 in the morning and take the right places with your towels. A beach towel can be obtained from the desk on the beach in exchange for a card, which is issued against a deposit of 10 euros at the reception.
The pool is small "above" the beach, the water in it is fresh, suspiciously cloudy (either hard, or terribly chlorinated). I do not advise.
Near the hotel on the "common" beach there are various water activities - paragliding, banana, boats, pedal boats, kayaks. Prices are modest, lower than in Antalya. For example, for 10 euros we took a water bike for an hour and swam along the coast - very picturesque places, grottoes, coves, you can take pictures from the sea. Many swim in masks, but the bottom is rather monotonous - a stone overgrown with algae, a lot of fish, but it does not differ in variety.
All Inclusive meals consist of:
1) breakfast in the hotel restaurant - modest, but good. You can get a table on the open veranda, but AHTUNG: OSES !!!!! ! if you have a suspicion of an allergy to a bite, it’s better not to go here at all !! ! Second AHTUNG: coffee in the hotel is always and everywhere of VERY modest quality. Coffee lovers don't come here. Tea, however, is also no....For breakfast and lunch they give "juice" from dried chemicals - it is CONTRAINDICATED for allergy sufferers and people with gastritis - I affirm as a certified allergist. I recommend: Greek (! ) salad, scrambled eggs in all forms, croissants.
2) Lunch - only on the beach, buffet. They bring drinks, of which I considered draft beer to be the best choice - it is good. What is difficult for children L Choice of dishes - vegetables number 4 - we make a salad ourselves; two meats (pig and/or beef/chicken), one fish, roasted vegetable. I do not recommend potatoes in any form - all frozen. Rice doesn't work either. Meat, fish, pasta, eggplant are good. AKHTUNG is the same - OSES EVERYWHERE !!!
3) In between, there is a bar on the beach - they are always ready to serve drinks. In addition to beer, I calmly perceived only drinking water in bottles and all sorts of cola sprites. The coffee is terrible, the tea is weak, the juices are chemical. It is interesting and strange that they do not give mineral water with gas. Food in the same bar on the beach is prepared at the request of the client, but all of it is somehow dubious - hot dogs, hamburgers, french fries from freezing... ice cream in balls only for children (!!! ). In general, if you are late for lunch, in my opinion, only Greek salad is safe for health.
4) Dinner - in the hotel restaurant - is quite up to par. Certainly not Turkish 5 star gastronomic mayhem, but there is a good selection and good quality. Drinks are brought by waiters, the choice for All Inclusive is the same. Homemade red wine is the lesser evil. Proper bottled wine - for some money. As always, wasps get out on the veranda, but closer to the night, they probably fly away to sleep.
Fruit is the weak point of the whole menu. Only plums are confidently present, the rest is weakly and badly expressed - this is sad in view of the season.
Who wants to take a walk or dine outside the hotel, just a bummer. To get on the track, you need to take a kilometer rise of 30 degrees with a serpentine. And this track is over a cliff and at least 6 meters wide, so walking along it somewhere is an occupation for the brave. It is realistic to go only by bus to the city of Kerkyra (once a day from the hotel) or on excursions.
The general conclusion is that the money was not spent in vain, everything corresponds to expectations. Who needs a quiet and non-fussy vacation for small money in the high season, who is not confused by high class service and food and puts the sea, sun and air above all else - come to this hotel with the funny name Nissaki Beach.

Probably the first time a beach holiday went so badly. The disadvantages of this hotel should be indicated: 1. There is no pool with sea water (although it is listed in the catalog) 2. A pebbly beach is a beach with sharp stones and uncleaned dirt (cigarette butts, etc. ) 3. The territory of the hotel is very small - there is absolutely no place to walk, very noisy in the room.

2. A pebbly beach is a beach with sharp stones and uncleaned dirt (cigarette butts, etc. )
3. The territory of the hotel is very small - there is absolutely no place to walk, very noisy in the room.
4. The animation is simply shameful - the children's is in a children's disco, there is nowhere to attach the children. Adults can also say no. Evening programs at the level of sketches by students of the 3rd grade of the correction school.
5. The staff is terrible - the cleaners yell at the entire floor, the room is practically not cleaned. In the restaurant, if you have half board, you must definitely order drinks - and this is very expensive in this hotel. If you do not order drinks, you will be treated in any way, up to insults. The hotel manager does not pay attention to the rudeness of the employees.
Resting in this hotel, we were waiting for departure. Several times I wanted to contact the police and the Russian consulate. We are powerless people there. Russians in this hotel have the worst attitude /
6. The food is terrible - last year's fruits - no watermelons, no melons - nothing, the rest of the dishes are meager and monotonous.
7. To get to the beach you have to take 2 elevators - (once the elevator with vacationers just fell down).
