We rested in Philippion Beach together with my husband after a mini-classic in June 2007. In principle, the rest turned out to be good. But it's probably not 4 stars. The room did not have a hair dryer, gels, shampoos, etc. We lived on the 4th floor, the view was side - on the household. premises and the sea. In the evening it was nice to sit on the balcony of the room and have a drink. The food was tasty, maybe a little monotonous, but there were purely Greek snacks. The All Inclusive included only drinks, I really liked the frappe (cold coffee), the cola and juices are very sweet, it feels like local production. There were almost no fruits (only apples in the evening). The room was cleaned every day and towels changed. Fruits were bought in a local shop, they were cheaper than in the Crimea last year and delicious. For lunch, of course, the choice is less than for dinner, but there was always enough for everyone.

The sea is clear, but there are no rocks, we went on a cruise along the Toroneo Bay and stopped by various small towns, so the scenery is more beautiful there.

On the beach, sunbeds are paid - 3 euros per day (even though we had everything. incl. ). The host was Vilar Tours. The girl Maria was almost always at the hotel, we went on an excursion on a boat along Toroneo Bay, we were accompanied by a guide Andrei, who apparently was on this excursion for the first time and just didn’t tell anything. There were cunning Balts with us on the bus, who pretended that they did not understand anything in Russian, but they understood the guide! So this Andrey behaved like a real tourist, bought a bunch of souvenirs, asked to take a picture of him on an old "soap box" and just in general asked everyone: "Well, how do you like it? " We didn’t like the tour because no one told us anything all the way, although I really wanted to hear something.

Of the entertainment near the hotel, there were billiards, air hockey, and discos nearby. On the beach, it seemed like you could rent catamarans (but there is nowhere to swim there) and other sports equipment.
In the gym, indeed, some of the simulators are broken, the pool at the back of the hotel is not bad, it was very pleasant to swim there after the salty sea. All in all a good holiday. Especially after last year's vacation in a Soviet boarding house in the Crimea.
