Супер отдых Super holiday

To begin with, coming to Crete in order to lie on the beach for the N-th number of days and sit in the canteen is a crime. After all, this is an ancient island with a stunning history, myths and legends, an island on which the Minoan civilization was born, an island full of "white-blue" villages and towns, an island with stunningly beautiful landscapes washed by three seas! Of the ten days of rest in the hotel, we spent two days! The rest of the time we rented a car (do not forget to take your driver's license with you), the cost is about 40 Euros + gasoline. If you break it down into five, it will come out to about 10 Euros. I bought a guidebook in Russian in a shop next to the hotel with a detailed map of Crete and a description of all the sights. During these days we traveled a lot of extraordinarily beautiful and interesting places, visited Chania, Rethymnon, Agios Nikolaos, Heraklion, Elounda and much, much more. A huge plus of such a pastime: no one rushes you anywhere, does not set the time when you need to be on the bus and does not measure free time, and even goes out every five, and even more cheaper. I wanted to eat - we stopped, we chose a restaurant, we wanted to poke around - we chose a beautiful wild or municipal (they are free) beach, we wanted to buy souvenirs or something else - everything is in our hands! Now about the hotel. The biggest minus is the sharp contrast of the number of rooms. Standard rooms can be quite decent, but they can.... mold, damp, rarely cleaned, remote from the TV (sometimes in the evening after trips I wanted to lie down and watch something) they took it on deposit (I don’t remember the amount), but the TV didn’t show, or rather it showed, but everything crackled, blinked, hissed, etc. The food is normal, we had everything included, but we only dined once and ate a couple of dinners, because we always left for the whole day.... If we had known in advance, we would have taken only breakfast. A huge plus is the first line, which is not typical for triples. From alcoholic beer, metaks and wine red, white. Excellent beach bar. Music plays in the evening and all that. The area is a bit dirty. The staff is ordinary. The hotel is the first at the entrance to the village of Bali and there is a bus stop nearby on the highway, if you don’t have a license, but you want to go somewhere. The hotel positions itself as 3+, but the plus sign can be removed.... then it's all fair. Separate + all kinds of cafes and restaurants. . . Regardless of how much you ordered, you will definitely be brought "from the establishment" a small decanter of ouzo (their vodka), a jug of wine, a plate of fruit and dessert : ). Do not forget to try the national cuisine: of course, Greek salad, moussaka (such a layered baked stew) and octopus (grilled octopus tentacles). . . As for the Greeks, they are very friendly guys, they treat everyone well, especially the Slavs (after all, brothers of the same faith). So, comrade, pack your bags - and go ahead and with a song !! !
