знакомство с о.Крит acquaintance with the island of Crete

this was our first trip to Crete, so we went with a tour operator. TEZ tour, as always, was at its best: they met, drove, told about everything. I liked the hotel for its comfort and very friendly staff. There was always someone who spoke Russian, so all issues were resolved without any problems. The question we had immediately with the placement. When ordering a room, we were guided by the photos and description from the hotel website. Greenery, a jacuzzi, bathrobes with slippers and other amenities were promised. . . In reality, we were offered an apartment on the second floor overlooking the same second floor. The husband was very indignant, politely expressed his indignation to the administrator. The administrator got scared and a day later we lived in the room from the picture. Since we went with friends and lived in two rooms, they were also moved. We got two very cozy rooms with an entrance to a small garden and a private pool for these two rooms. The rooms are filled with household appliances and utensils, cleaning daily, towels too. Breakfast is quite decent, there was even some variety in vegetable dishes. Once we had dinner at the hotel: on the day of our arrival there was a themed dinner with national dances. It cost 40 euros per person. The smorgasbord buffet is not shaken by any dancing. Then we had dinner in Rethymno: we went there by taxi (5 euros), walked back on foot. In the room, they ate homemade cheese and olives bought in a shop in the center of Rethymnon, and vegetables from a shop from a neighboring street where the Greeks themselves shop: prices are much lower than on the waterfront. We rented a car for three days, ordered in advance on the Internet, also cheaper than on the embankment. We explored all the wonderful beaches of the island. The locals are very friendly, so there is a great desire to visit Crete again. With the tour operator went to about. Santorini. I liked it: you can also stay there for a couple of days.
