У подножия Олимпа... At the foot of Olympus...

My husband and I rested in Greece from August 15 to 23. Chose the hotel on the principle - inexpensive. I'll be honest. Therefore, they focused mainly on apartments. We still planned to travel around Greece, so we didn’t want to spend more money on lunches / dinners, etc. , if we had to miss them. Pieria was also chosen, because from there it is the closest to get to Olympus. My husband dreamed of going there all his life. The homeland of the gods after all)))). Our room was overlooking the garden. This is probably the correct name for this species. Personally, I liked it very much. The territory is green, there is even a parking lot. While the bus was taking us from the airport, we managed to see almost everything, plus the guide told us a little about Greece and customs. We arrived and settled in right away. In general, on the first day we decided not to go anywhere, but just to drink a glass of wine and admire nature. Fortunately, there is something to admire. There is practically a barbecue right below our room. Anyone who wants to use is allowed. So, we went to a nearby store - bought bacon and bananas and decided to arrange such a festive dinner for ourselves. . In the morning we were going to leave for a ride around Pieria. I realized that I forgot my portable iron at home. Very upset. Somehow I did not want to walk all day in a crumpled dress. It turned out that the hostess gives hair dryers and irons to everyone who wants it without question. But you have to get personal. In general, Joanna is a very nice woman. Almost all the guests go to her. Something to ask, then just talk. She will not refuse anyone and will help in any way she can. The biggest plus, in my opinion, is the village of Paralia Katerinis. Here you will definitely not get bored. Many restaurants, taverns, bars and other benefits of civilization. We rented a car, so 8 km was not a distance. In general, buses from the hotel run every 15 minutes. It is very convenient for those without a car. It seems to me that, in principle, the hotel is very convenient and comfortable. The rooms are good, there is a small kitchen, a refrigerator. For those who cook themselves - a great option. And with kids, it's the same thing. The beach, of course, is far away. Walk 7-10 minutes, but there are bars and sunbeds. You buy a drink and at least lie around all day. I'm overjoyed. Although we did not sit in the hotel, but only spent the night, I realized that I still want to return here. Very cozy, homely, I would say.
