HOTEL. 3 stars can only be given to the tavern at the hotel, it is quite modest in appearance, but the food is delicious. Housing for 24 rooms, including 4 apartments - rooms with a living room and two bedrooms. I must say that the hotel is a building, it does not have a foyer, hall, reception, just a corridor and rooms on both sides, and the keys to the rooms are kept by the owner in a locker located in the tavern. On the opposite side of the pool.
PROS - everything is fresh and clean looking as it was built in 2006.
- Few people, a quiet place, but if you want to "buzz", everything is at hand. Worth a 10 minute walk to the center. All rooms with sea view or side sea view.
- Russian maid, a big hello to her. Sincere woman, thanks to her for her hard work and good advice. She has been a Greek citizen for 17 years. She told us a lot, and we felt calm and comfortable.
- Two pools and the third one was being completed. Two deep, maximum depth 2.60 m.
MINUSES - there is no shower near the pools and therefore there is a lot of sand at the bottom and cleaning was done only once during our stay, and then only in one of the pools. It was also embarrassing and touching at the same time the presence of a goose and a goose that walked around the territory and, of course, swam in the pools.
- The presence of the British can poison life, but this does not apply to the hotel specifically, they are everywhere in Rhodes!! ! They make noise, drink a lot, orgies in the pool with topless girls, litter, and usually go in crowds of 5-10 people. They can be recognized by tattoos and erakes of all colors of the rainbow and loud communication. Greeks don't like English tourists very much. Russians, on the contrary, are loved and respected. In our hotel, the orgy promised by compatriots with experience was only one and that day. The rest of the time we slept peacefully, because the street with night bacchanalia and obscurantism was a 7-10 minute walk.
IN THE ROOM - a TV with a remote control and two Russian channels, a safe in the room, air conditioning - free of charge, unlike most fives and fours, where the rent for remotes and safes reaches 2 euros per day, new furniture, a refrigerator, a bathroom combined with a shower, balconies.
- Cleaning daily, linen change every other day.
- The furniture and equipment of the rooms in general is 4 stars boldly.
- Tipping for cleaning the maid from the table did not take, and at the end of the holiday we thanked her personally for 10 euros.
NUTRITION. We only had a continental breakfast. These are cereals, buns, cheese, ham, hard-boiled eggs, chopped vegetables, coffee, tea, juices, jelly and fruits cut into a bowl. Sometimes there was bacon and eggs. This was enough for us until the evening. Full board or "all inclusive", as we were told, to take on Rhodes is at least reckless.
According to the stories of compatriots, the top five is monotonous and there is little national cuisine. And the variety and number of taverns will not leave you hungry. They cook delicious food everywhere. The dishes are amazing and most importantly plentiful. The cost of one dinner is from 20 to 30 euros - a bottle of beer, a glass of wine and three courses - an appetizer and two main courses. The plates are big, mind you. As for pompous restaurants, there are smaller portions and higher prices, but this is a maximum of 45 euros for a dinner for two. You can eat at McDonald's, KFS or Pizza Hut, they are there in the center of Faliraki, as well as a large number of mini and super markets where there is fast food. We took juices, fruits, water and delicious Greek beer "Mythos" there, it costs from 70 cents to 1.5 euros. Not a bad tavern on the beach near our Cactus hotel. There, wonderful Uncle George invites everyone to a meal. We ate there 4 times and were never disappointed.
EXCURSIONS.
CAR FOR RENT. What we advise you to do if you have rights, preferably with a green card, without it until the first traffic cop. The whole island can be driven by car slowly with swimming on all kinds of beaches and snacks in 4 days. If you just ride, then one day is enough. We rented a car for 2 days. The cost per day is from 30 to 250 euros. Depends on the brand of car. They give a full tank, everything that you roll, you fill it back yourself. We traveled 25 liters in 2 days. A liter of gasoline then cost 1.35 euros. Russian rights are good, but until the first traffic cop, who cannot be found there during the day with fire. Better yet, don't break it. We took a car through the guide of the meeting company, it is neither a cent nor more expensive. It's just that there are no troubles with searches, and Argonautik Travel has a plus in the fact that in the city for their cars there is free parking on the blue lines. If you go to Rhodes, it is better early in the morning. After 11 it is difficult to find a place for a car there. Better yet, go to Rhodes by bus. From Faliraki to Rhodes one way 2 euros. It is cheaper and easier in regards to parking. By car, it is better to spend time in more remote places, such as Cape Prasonisi, where the Aegean and Mediterranean seas merge. Although buses also go there and to other important tourist places. Getting around the island is no problem. For extreme sportsmen rent scooters. We really do not recommend because of the complexity of traffic and serpentine roads. I had to watch a terrible accident. Soft-boiled motik crashed on a gazelle-type car. All this is scary guys, take care of yourself and don’t forget to turn on your brains while turning on the transmission.
For those who do not want to take a bus and cannot drive, a guide has a large selection of excursions.
Valley of the Butterflies, Greek evening, Fishing, this is where we were, and by car we visited the Tsampikou church, the city of Lindos, Cape Prasonissi - this is one day, on the second, the city of Rhodes, the beaches of the Aegean Sea, the Monolithos acropolis, the beach of Gennadia, on on the way back to Faliraki on the Mediterranean. Everything left a wonderful impression. On the way to Monolithos, there are difficult roads in the mountains, the slope is 10%, few places have fences. Quietly drove at 40 km / h. The maximum speed on the highway is 80 km. The average is 50. The fine for not wearing a seat belt is 350 euros per person. For a bribe to a traffic cop you can go to jail.
BEACHES. The beach at the hotel and there are few people on it. Somewhat dirty. Although cleaned daily. The British mostly suck. A sun lounger closer to the sea costs 3 euros per day, further from the sea 1 euro, in the middle 2 euros per day. We took only one time and then on the day of departure. The rest of the time the sunbeds on site are free, we went there.
A lot of water entertainment - bananas, cheesecakes, parachutes, scooters, boats, diving, boards.
In the mini-market you can buy a circle or a mattress. Which is what we did.
A 15-minute drive from Faliraki (terminal stop at McDonald's opposite the fountain with a kissing couple) is the wonderful beach of Kalithia or Kallithea. One way ticket 1.5 euros. Beach on the rocky shore. A cafe in the rock, a sea of sun loungers, the entrance there through the source museum, where Mussolini used to be treated and rest. Entrance to the beach and the museum is paid, the museum is 2.5 euros. Sunbed 3.5 euros per day. But it's worth it. In the rocks you can swim in a mask and see the fish there are a couple of species but in large numbers. There are boats with diving excursions. We arrived there in the morning after breakfast and left only at 17:00. Someone here writes that the beach is crowded with people, there are no places, it was before, now the beach is paid and there are fewer people. Peace and amazing view!! ! We advise everyone. Before entering this territory there is a descent to a separate beach, bypassing the museum. There are also paid sunbeds and a kiosk with drinks and fast food. We didn't go there, but we watched. Pretty decent.
SOUVENIRS.
Oil, olives, wine, vases and photo frames, handmade and factory. Handmade ones are much more expensive. A small one costs 9 euros, large ones from 16 euros and more. Black handmade vases covered with 25 carat gold. Sandals from 10 euros, wear for 1 time and throw away, and there are decent ones from 25 euros. Slippers made of natural wool with pampons just for Russian winters from 10 to 15 euros, depending on the size. The rest is all Chinese tripe. You can also search for something else. We did not focus on souvenirs. European shopping can be arranged in the city of Rhodes. There are both flea markets for tourists and company stores. Women's handbags "Maskino" 325 euros, "Furla" 350-400 euros. Clothing varies by brand and price. If you go shopping, then reserve 1000 euros per person separately for this))). For this amount at average prices, you can stock up from head to toe.
SURPRISE. We were “lucky” to be caught in an earthquake. We woke up at 6 am from the fact that the furniture was shaking, the bed was bouncing. They grabbed everything they had and rushed to the exit. But before they even got out of the building, everything stopped. It wasn't scary right away. They did not understand from sleep. Then, assessing the possible outcome, it was, of course, creepy. Rhodes is a seismic zone, but this does not happen often. According to the maid, there were no such shocks for a long time, they are quite strong. It came from the sea and therefore did not cause damage. We prepared for the next night by putting documents, money and tickets under our pillows, but luckily nothing happened.
Fortunately, this trip was an amazingly beautiful adventure, and even the shaking did not spoil it. I hope that the last paragraph will not scare you, I did not hide it because I just wanted to share it, and not scare you and force you to refuse a trip to this wonderful place. We wish you a great vacation too!
