Первая поездка в Грецию First trip to Greece

We had the most pleasant impressions from the Hotel. Located right in the city center. The staff is friendly and speaks Russian. The rooms are small and clean. Cleaned thoroughly every day. Towels were changed every other day, and bed linen (white) - after 3 days. The air conditioner worked perfectly, because the street was always about +35-40 degrees.
The windows in the hotel rooms face the street, but the room is quiet because they are plastic. Large balcony. There is a Russian channel on TV - ORT.
To the beach 5 minutes. There are no sun loungers, but everywhere they sell various mats for 2 euros.
Very beautiful city. Very festive happy atmosphere. It is very beautiful in the evening, because there is a solid illumination all around.
Breakfast is excellent: boiled potatoes with green onions, vinaigrette, sausages, sausage, cheese, cookies, cakes, chocolate paste, 2 types of juices, tea, coffee, watermelons and melons, delicious dill buns.

Lunch was bought in minimarkets, which are in almost every quarter. We dined the first week in taverns for 40-80 euros for four people. Then we had dinner in street cafes, almost the same, but for 10-15 euros for four.
Shopping is great! An ocean of different stores. A sea of ​ ​ souvenirs. Great coats. Lots of beautiful leather jackets.
There is a bus stop in front of the hotel to the town of Katerini. The bus runs every 10 minutes. It's only 15 minutes drive. This is already a serious big city with many shops.
The excursions were very enjoyable. Heavy only in Afmny. But she was worth it. We had an excellent guide. He spent the whole day with us with such great humor. We left late in the evening at 12 o'clock. Sleeping on the bus is hard, buy a collar. Sold everywhere. It is very comfortable to sleep on the bus with him. At 4 o'clock in the morning we were woken up for a 2 o'clock breakfast already near Athens. The tour started at 6 am.
I really liked the trip to Meteora. Shocked to the core. These are monasteries on rocks 600 m high. Terribly scary!
Greece is a wonderful country! Would like to return again.
The Greeks are very friendly, but slow.
The only negative on the trip was that we almost missed the plane. They came for us not at 7.30 in the morning, but at 8.40. Departure was from the airport of Thessaloniki, which is located 85 km from Paralia. The driver drove at a speed of up to 220 km per hour, and ripped off another 20 euros for gasoline, saying that he would give it back at the airport, but, of course, he did not give it back. We arrived at the airport 15 minutes before the plane took off. Adrenaline in our blood has clearly increased. Therefore, be sure to take the cell phone of the head of the company that serves you there.
