We were going to fly to the Greek islands, taking a weekend at work, looking for last-minute tours and buying tickets the day before departure (as always: ) It's a pity that we didn't have time to buy a tour for 7 thousand for 15 days. (Special offer immediately removed after 2 hours! ) But nothing. .
We flew to about. Kos is safe, and even with comfort - on an almost new plane - an airbus, this is apparently after the incident with the last flight.
The Greeks work slowly...we went through passport and visa control for more than an hour, although we were in no hurry to go anywhere. . We arrived at the hotel quickly (the island is small) and immediately settled in. I will say right away that we were counting on apartments with a kitchen, as indicated on the hotel website. But the owner’s wife began to explain to us that only breakfasts were ordered and that rooms were provided only in the main building of the hotel, although the next vacationers after us, grandmother and grandson, were provided
THE HOST
Dodecanes Travel (Solvex tour operator).
Taking us to the hotel, the guide admitted that she herself had been there for the first time and no one had gone there except us!
The bus to pick us up arrived on time. Airport 15 km. 20 minutes to go, but since we were going to Kefalos for tourists (it’s great there), we drove for a long time : ) but 1.5 before departure we were already at the airport
REST
We rested well. . but we were more tired than rested. . We didn’t go on excursions this time (currently with acquaintances, local owners of a bicycle shop. . They took us to the mountains by car), so we spent all 15 days lying on the beach. . from 12-17 o'clock it is so hot there. . sat in hotels, no one works at this time, everyone has a siesta : )
Boring for sure. . to the nearest village km. 4. . walked sometimes. . in the neighboring 5 * hotels : ) In general, we drove beyond the sea and the sun, so the hotel itself was not particularly important to us))
STAR RATE OF THE HOTEL
When we bought a ticket, the hotel was declared as 4 *. . among the reviews of Americans as 2+. .
HOLIDAYERS
mostly Americans, Germans, a bit of Italians. .
THE MOUNTAINS

STAFF
The director of the hotel and his wife do the dishes and clean themselves. The rest of the staff can be counted on fingers)

Drinking water:
. . wow, the water is awful. . By the way, when we were driving, we read that there were apartments and a kitchen in each room. . figs to you. . with kitchens lodge current foreignerseff. . we asked for a kettle, mugs, knife, spoons. . so for a couple of days we drank water - boiled them under the tap. . there is a runoff of lime that in the morning there was a thick film of gasoline on the tea. . Yes, and purchased water (in a village 4 km from the hotel they bought cheaply 1 euro for 6 pieces of a Louis supermarket) is not very good ....well, we added lemon there and it was tolerable. .

All beaches in Greece are municipal. . but our hotel, oddly enough, and sunbeds and umbrellas were free. . and on the neighboring beach where it is better to enter the sea - paid, there we lay on towels))
