It was the first time in Greece. Our vacation was planned for 13 days, unfortunately we lost 2 days!! ! Departure of the plane from Kyiv at 18.20, flight about 2 hours, transfer to the hotel about 1.5 hours and arrived at 23.15. Days are gone. The return trip is the same as rise at 4.00 am, departure from the hotel at 5.00 am, flight at 9.15 am and again a day in favor of Mouzenidis.
SETTLEMENT: Arrived on a day when it had rained and a strong cold wind the day before. Bungalow 1st floor - the smell of dampness, there is no balcony, there is a huge tree in front of the room that blocks the sun, the door on the balcony does not close. The hotel guide Taisiya was asked to be moved to the 2nd floor, they could not leave the room, they waited for the locksmith for 2 hours until he repaired the door on the balcony. The day left for tears and snot. We moved in the evening "thank you" we were satisfied. The hotel area is really not guarded, come in all and sundry, full of hungry dogs that bark all night and it is not possible to fall asleep.
SEA: Clean and beautiful, but cool during this period. You can't sit in the water, you freeze. The beach is dirty. The nights are cool.

FOOD: Super, corresponds to 5 * in Turkey. There is no bar on the beach. There is a paid bar, any whim for money. I had to go to the hotel to drink water or beer. All evenings "Greek" paid. By the way, in Turkey, entertainment evenings in 5 * hotels are FREE.
EXCURSIONS: At the hotel, the prices of MOUZENIDIS for tours are "mad", 2.5 times more expensive than in the travel agency of the village of Leptokaria. We took tours in TREND TRAVEL, which is located in the center of Leptokaria. METEOR is great.
ANIMATION: For children 20 minutes, every day the same. In the hotel in the evening "BODOM". One evening there was live music in the lobby. WE Slavs staged dances. That was amazing. The Germans just stared!
SOLONIKI AIRPORT: a separate issue. This is the HORROR and STRESS that we experienced. We were not warned by hotel guides that we should take checks when buying leather and fur coats. My husband and I bought 3 jackets and took them in hand luggage. At the airport, the guide was told about the presentation of receipts for the purchase. Why did we never recognize the checks, perhaps he takes a fee. I don't know. We are in shock and stress!! ! They found a way out: they tore off the price tags and put them on themselves, and put the third jacket in their luggage. And so they passed the control. When asked by the police "leather and fur coats", I answered "NO". Thank God everything is normal. The airport is not designed for such a flow of passengers. At the same time, 3 flights flew away (Lviv, Moscow, Kyiv and Eurozone passengers). First, the queue for weighing luggage, then the second queue for checking in luggage for 1 belt (the queue is about 300 people). Border control - "pepets" 2 windows for all flights. Noise, screams, crying children, crowds of people near the red stripe, the queue is slow. I've never seen anything like this at any airport.
I think you can visit Greece once.
