Hello, here I arrived on May 19 from Rhodes .. the manager tried to persuade us to go there for a long time, since we were already in Crete and didn’t want to take risks, we thought to go to Crete again, butoo URAAAAAAA we still visited Rhodes and in a WILD RELATIONSHIP .. He is better...Thanks to the manager Tatyana, who prepared the tour for us and us for the trip so well..., we saw a lot of interesting things. The island is not big, we traveled a few days by bus, a few by car ... the island really has something to see and everything is exciting. If you need I can write the contact number of the girls from the agency, they are professionals... in Rhodes for sure :)

Both Cyprus and Rhodes have a wonderful holiday and many attractions. The contingent of vacationers in Rhodes and Cyprus is approximately the same, there is no drunk cattle. the cuisine is also similar, Greek, a lot of vegetables and fruits. You will enjoy both Rhodes and Cyprus.

And I would recommend Crete first of all - an exceptionally rich excursion, transparent sea, a very large selection of hotels and absolutely amazing food (the best in Greece !!). The island is very big, you can take a car. Another plus - there is a very beautiful island of Santorini nearby, you can get there by ferry, take a walk and return to the hotel - I recommend it! You just need to have sun cream with you, a hat - there is little shade here, but it is really very beautiful.

Hey! We have been to all three islands. The opinion, of course, is subjective, but I liked Rhodes more than others. Excursions are amazing everywhere, because. places recognizable from history books, Greek cuisine is about the same, people are friendly and positive. Cars on the Greek islands can be taken and driven without problems, but in Cyprus the traffic is on the left - it was very difficult for us to get used to it.
аватар Tanya1986
Yes... I completely agree with Irinali. and from Rhodes you can go to about. Simi...
аватар lanos
Crete is good.
аватар Phansoft
sigur62 about the drunk "cattle" does not agree. Crete and Rhodes, in view of the most "bargaining" prices in Europe and loyalty to alcohol, are the most attractive place for English scumbags. And they are even worse than those who, drunk, shouting "Tagil !!" ))))))
аватар Irinali
I will add that in Crete in the city of Hersonissos, mostly young people from Holland are completely loyal and peace-loving Europeans, and in another party place in Malia, they say, mostly restless English youth. But in Cyprus in Ayia Napa, the parties are international.
аватар Phansoft
I was just in Malia. ))) still that madhouse!

Crete or Rhodes - that's your destination of choice! Rhodes is small, romantic with magical places and fabulous villages and color. Google: Lindos, Rhodes (capital) about. Simi, etc. More green. Crete is big, there are gorgeous beaches, the opportunity to go to about. Santorini, (one of the most romantic places in the world!) minotaur labyrinth, oceanarium, zeus cave, and another lesser known but more interesting cave, google: Lassithian Plateau, Balos, Ellafonisi, Elounda, (Spinalunga) Vai, Bali, etc. d. Slightly less green. There is no time to explain why, but cross out Cyprus! There's nothing! Deserted. Discos aren't bad.

I have been to Crete twice. First, she traveled the eastern one, and after the second run, the western one. A sea of ​​emotions, impressions and the desire to return more than once. The food is delicious, the prices are very democratic, the people are very friendly. A sea of ​​unusual colors from transparent to turquoise-blue, blue. There are more than 1000 photos.)))) This year I'm going to Rhodes. In love with Greece. Go, you won't regret it. There is no reason to go to Cyprus. In summer, everything is burnt out, bald. Nothing special and the prices are "bad"
аватар sigur62
Not certainly in that way. Cyprus has very beautiful mountains with wonderful air, many beautiful monasteries, a very friendly atmosphere. Prices in restaurants and taverns are not at all "bad", the same as in Greece. In Greece, nature is indeed more "violent", brighter colors, and on the islands it is also special, unusual, here you are right.

But for some reason, travel agencies tell Cyprus off. They say it's disproportionately expensive.
аватар sigur62
Absolutely inexpensive. I don’t know how it is in Ukraine, maybe you have some special conditions. Though looking with what to compare. If with Egypt, then it, of course ...
аватар Tamaritta
A friend works in one of the Cypriot hotels, at 5 *. She says that if you go to Cyprus, then preferably at 5, or at a good 4. If you compare prices with Greece, it is actually unreasonably expensive. Eating in cafe-restaurants does not cost from 10-15 euros per person, as in Crete, for example. So compare and choose what is closer to your soul. But for some reason, after Greece, I don’t want to go to Cyprus, after reading a bunch of reviews and looking at the photo reports of tourists. And you decide for yourself.
аватар sigur62
"...after Greece, I don't want to go to Cyprus...". Sounds strange to say the least. If after Greece you don’t want to go to Ukraine, or to Russia, this is understandable, but to Cyprus ...
Your Cypriot friend therefore advises you to go to the "five" because she works there. In fact, this is in Turkey, and especially in Egypt, you can and should only go to the "five" or a good "four". But in Cyprus, as in Greece, there are quite decent "three rubles" and there are a lot of them.
аватар Tamaritta
sigur62, unfortunately, my friend is not the owner of the hotel to promote her ... She just worked in several hotels and made specific conclusions and, when asked to book a room for us to relax, she asked to prepare a very round sum of money, saying that it was not worth it. Comfort that Cyprus is much more expensive than in Greece. A question of opportunity. The question is how, having a certain amount of money (I don’t think it’s worth thousands of euros), can you relax as comfortably and brightly as possible. I was both 5* and 3* in Greece. I did this for experimental purposes. At 3* it wasn't so bad, but, believe me, after 5* I don't even want to go to a "decent" 3*. In addition, at the end of the season (September-October), the discount for 5 * Pts is decent. I don't want to impose my opinion in any way. I'm just sharing my experience.
аватар sigur62
Why, it's natural that after 5 * you don't want to get into a decent 3 *. However. In Cyprus, when we were in Arsinoe 3 *, talking on the beaches and excursions with our compatriots, we agreed that European 3 * is a quite decent level for recreation. And about the "round sum of money" I can argue with you. We were just in Cyprus and Greece, both times in September. The price of a tour to Cyprus, a penny to a penny, coincided with the price of the same tour to Greece (even the number of nights is equal). And about food. The national meat dish "Meze" in Cypriot taverns costs 20-25 euros. These are: 8 dishes with various meat delicacies, there is shish kebab, and kebab, and all that ... for two, even bust in terms of volume and calorie content. If it's expensive for you, well then I don't know...
аватар Tamaritta
To each his own. Someone live in "decent" triples in a buzz, someone in 5s. The taste and color ... you understand. I'm happy for you if you get high from European 3 * and "chic" in the restaurant)))) 25 euros for 5 people. Good luck to you!
аватар sigur62
Oh, thanks. And you have a good rest and good mood.
аватар victorias
treshki in Greece are very good, by the way - this is if you want to eat in taverns, and taverns are also very good, in fact, there is authentic Greek food, for this you can buy a tour without meals. )))
You wouldn't recommend this in any other country.
In June, it’s ideal in my opinion to go to Rhodes, from your list it’s already definitely warm, but it’s wonderful and it’s really all to see during the trip. There are good fives in Lindos (a very good place), for example.
аватар Ezhik
It is better to have a rest on the Greek islands. Which ones you choose. Crete is closer to my heart.
аватар Toma27
I liked Kos. Because it's small and cozy. Rhodes - there is a different atmosphere ... Corfu - its own history)) You can rush to Italy by ferry ...)
