My husband and I rested for 14 days in this hotel, Sithonia peninsula and were satisfied, the hotel is worth the money spent.
The first impression of the hotel is good, a cozy courtyard, around a pine forest, beauty, friendly people work at the reception, we were immediately settled. The hotel itself consists of two and three storey buildings, we lived in the second building from the sea, on the second floor. The rooms are decent enough, clean, bright, spacious, no frills, in pleasant sand colors, with TV and air conditioning, a large comfortable bed. Cleaned the room well, changed bed linen regularly.
The beach is a few steps away, well equipped with sunbeds and umbrellas, the sea is just fabulous, crystal clear, warm, calm, fine sand, a pleasure. The weather also pleased us with sunny days, we went to the beach in the mornings and after lunch, there was a strong sun on the day, we were afraid to burn out.
We ate according to the half-pension system, at breakfasts and dinners, there were no complaints about the food, everything was fresh, tasty, the assortment was average, but this was enough, meat, side dishes, salads, fresh fruits, sweets.
At the hotel, we turned to the hotel guide Maria for help, she gave us a short tour of the hotel, we rented a car from her and went to see the sights of the nearest villages.
The hotel is located between the two villages of Nikiti and Metamorfosi, a 7-minute drive, in Nikiti there is a beautiful and romantic promenade from the sights, it is quite new and it is pleasant to walk along it in the evening, there are many cafes and bars where you can have a good time. We also went to the village of Neos Marmaras, it takes about 30 minutes to go to it, if there is an opportunity, I advise you to go, what fabulous views open there! Emerald bays, gorgeous beaches, there are many souvenir shops, we immediately looked into the Greek tavern, they fed us delicious seafood, tried squid in batter, grilled fish and mussels, how delicious it is !!!
The rest of the time we swam, sunbathed and enjoyed Greece. Before leaving, we decided to take an excursion and go to Thessaloniki - the northern capital of Greece, a very pleasant town with beautiful architecture, a promenade, in our free time we went shopping, bought souvenirs to take home. Thanks to everyone who participated in the organization of our holiday! We do not regret at all that we chose this hotel!

We rested at the end of June, the hotel is insanely green, fragrant and well maintained. The hotel rooms are cozy, small, cleaned every day. The food was good, lots and lots of variety. The hotel is suitable for a family, secluded and inexpensive holiday. I recommend it to everyone!

Rest time: May 26-June 5.2013 Resort: Chalkidiki, Sithonia Hotel: Porfi Beach Hotel Name: Polina Good day to all! I recently flew from sunny Greece to "harsh" Chelyabinsk and I hasten to share my impressions. I will try to tell about my journey in as much detail as possible, because I myself learned a lot of useful information from similar reviews (for which many thanks to everyone who wrote such reviews !!! ) So, I began to prepare thoroughly for my "May holidays": I read tons of information on the Internet, and chose the resorts of the Halkidiki Peninsula, for the chic coniferous forests, sandy beaches, etc.

Resort: Chalkidiki, Sithonia
Hotel: Porfi Beach Hotel
Name: Polina
Good day to all! I recently flew from sunny Greece to "harsh" Chelyabinsk and I hasten to share my impressions. I will try to tell about my journey in as much detail as possible, because I myself learned a lot of useful information from similar reviews (for which many thanks to everyone who wrote such reviews !!! )
So, I began to prepare thoroughly for my "May holidays": I read tons of information on the Internet, and chose the resorts of the Halkidiki Peninsula, for the chic coniferous forests, sandy beaches, etc. And, as it turned out, I was not mistaken! I chose the hotel, adhering to my requirements, namely:
1.3* or 4* because the budget is very limited;
2) the proximity of the beach - food with a child of 1.5 years;
3) the hotel should be located near settlements.
Porfi Beach Hotel turned out to be the perfect candidate for a small paradise for our company. There were four of us - me, my son, my mother and a friend.
The time of rest was also not chosen by chance, before the season, because. we love a quiet holiday, with as few people as possible, not hot weather (so that you can visit excursions), and the cool waters of the Aegean Sea (just right after our Ural lakes! ).
The tour was paid in advance, already in February, it turned out cheaper. For a flight and accommodation for 10 days with breakfast and dinner, 38 tr per person came out, for a child they paid 4000 r.
I also learned about all the excursions and entertainment in advance, and made up the entire recreation program at home. Finally, the long-awaited day has come. We flew at night from Chelyabinsk Airport to Macedonia Airport in Thessaloniki. The child fell asleep in the car, and safely overslept all the fuss with luggage and documents in a small stroller, which was taken from us right before boarding the plane, bypassing luggage, which is very convenient for the article : )
We flew on the plane of the Greek airlines Astra 4.20min. The stewardesses, respectively, are Greek, so they practically do not understand Russian, draw conclusions - without knowing English, you will not see a comfortable stay anywhere!
We arrived early in the morning, all the staff, and indeed the Greek people in general, as it turned out, are very friendly, kind and very, very fond of children. We were checked very quickly, our luggage was issued immediately, representatives of Mouzenidis Travel met us at the door, brought us to the buses, placed us, and in general we thank them very much for their well-coordinated and professional work.
We drove to the hotel for about an hour and a half, on the way we stopped at several hotels, dropped off tourists. Our hotel guides, Iraida and Odyssey, helped to bring things right to the room, they themselves agreed on settling.
At first we were offered a room on the second floor, but because we wanted on the first one with access to the courtyard of the hotel, we were provided with the desired one on demand. In half an hour the room was ready, there was a crib with bed linen.
Guides suggested additional excursions. We stopped on a trip to Meteora, a trip on a "pirate" boat - "Blue Lagoon", and a car rental for 2 days.
Everything, having finished with the formalities in 20 minutes, we finally look around and understand that we are in PARADISE!! ! The territory of the hotel is just like in a fairy tale: small, very well-groomed, all in flowers, palm trees, cedars and pines, a blue pool, and the sea, which is visible from almost everywhere.
Towels were changed in the room and they were cleaned every day, bed linen - after 3 days (starched sheets !! ), we left tips on the table, we didn’t take them, we caught the maids a couple of times and gave them personally. Small packs of shampoo, shower gel and soap were available.
Communication - FACE card, buy in any supermarket, guides bought us, 10 euros 2 hours 30 minutes of calls to cell phones - dialed directly from the room, after asking the reception to make an exit to the intercity 0 - 807 - 9803 - 3 - pin (written on the check) - 007 - cell number. You can also skype at the reception if you buy an internet card.
For shopping, souvenirs, we walked along the forest road 3 km, half an hour, to the village of Metamorfosi, we also dined there once in the Liana tavern (32 euros for three, meat dishes, salad, homemade wine). The owner of the tavern, most likely an Armenian, is very sociable!
In the village of Nikiti (4 km), we took a taxi (6 euros one way). Very beautiful old part (better by car), and the new one with the beach is also good! There are as many as 2 supermarkets in the village, but the prices in them are higher than in Metamorfosi stores, and walking is closer to them. We went almost every day for groceries and homemade wine. In general, the hotel has its own minimarket, but since we rested a little earlier than the season, the store was closed, and there were almost no vacationers.
The beach has clean coarse sand, at the bottom, at first, 2 meters of pebbles, then sand, there were hedgehogs among the stones, although we saw that they were removed almost every day. Sun beds on the beach are paid - 6 euros 2 sun loungers and an umbrella, but during our holiday we used them for free.
. Seafood prices here are lower than in other taverns, so we treated ourselves to the gifts of the Aegean Sea. Then swimming in the open sea near Turtle Island. They also promised to allocate time for a walk around the town, but it did not work out, the bus arrived earlier. On the ship during the voyage, the wind and the sun, so I advise my brother a hat and a windbreaker. I liked the boat trip very much, my son looked at the "deep blue sea" without stopping, we did not regret the money spent! 45 euros per person, including a small child.
On the first day we went to the Petralone cave and along Kassandra. We left in the morning right after breakfast. We reached the cave following the signs. We put the car in the parking lot, and a small train took us to the cave, which runs every 20 minutes, costs 2 euros - tickets are sold at the box office on the site, but you can also walk about a kilometer. The cave is interesting, if time permits, you can visit it, but I don’t think it’s worth going specially. They said that the cave has the cheapest souvenirs, but as it turned out, Metamorfosi shops are cheaper.
Having visited Petralone, we headed towards Kassandra. We went to some hotels just to look, stopped to swim on the beaches we liked.
; POPOYPOGLOY - there are the lowest prices for souvenirs, and also very kind sellers who speak a little Russian. Then, slowly drove around Sithonia, stopping at all the most beautiful beaches, of which there are a lot. By the way, we didn’t like the “vaunted” beaches of Vourvourou at all, at the tip of the finger the beaches are much more luxurious.
Now a little about the hotel:
Breakfast (from 7 am to 10 am) - a large selection, every day the same set of products, but everything is fresh and tasty. Milk and all dairy products cannot be compared with ours. From meat - every day fried sausages, bacon, and scrambled eggs, but on the last day, when there were more people, the meat was no longer enough for us. So in the season for breakfast you have to get up early!
Dinners (from 19 to 21 h) are varied - fish, pork, beef, national dishes, a lot of cold appetizers, salads, always several different meat dishes, soups. For dessert - ice cream, pies, different fruits, there were always lemons, oranges, apples, kiwi, cherries, a couple of times watermelon. Drinks are paid.
In general, our vacation was a success!! ! weather, nature, people, and in general everything around, gave only positive emotions. The hotel staff was delighted with our boy, the waitresses set up a children's table, he eats on his own, which impressed them especially. Sometimes they themselves changed dishes for him (ice cream for dessert). The waitress at the bar spoke a little Russian.
Tips: take a first aid kit with you - it came in handy a couple of times - a friend stepped on a hedgehog, and a child on some kind of thorns, they took it out with a needle and processed it. There were practically no mosquitoes, but I advise you to take a fumigator for those who are especially sensitive. That's probably all, I will be very glad if my review is useful to someone.
And thanks to sunny Greece for a fabulous vacation!

The Porfi Beach Hotel makes you fall in love with it at first sight: a well-groomed compact area, very landscaped: palm trees, birds, flowers, a swimming pool, and most importantly, its own access to a magnificent spacious beach. The beach is sandy, and, despite the fact that there is a narrow strip of pebbles at the very edge of the water, it does not make it difficult to enter the water at all.

The Porfi Beach Hotel makes you fall in love with it at first sight: a well-groomed compact area, very landscaped: palm trees, birds, flowers, a swimming pool, and most importantly, its own access to a magnificent spacious beach. The beach is sandy, and, despite the fact that there is a narrow strip of pebbles at the very edge of the water, it does not make it difficult to enter the water at all. Unfortunately, sunbeds and umbrellas on the beach for an extra charge - 3 euro sunbed / 6 euro "set" (includes 2 sunbeds, umbrella, mattresses and towels).
The hotel rooms are spacious, bright, with new furniture and fixtures. The room has TV (with Russian channels), refrigerator, air conditioning, hair dryer, safe - at the reception for an extra charge (4 euros / day or 21 euros / week). Wi-Fi - "in public areas" (bar, reception, restaurant) for a fee. The rooms on the first floor are a bit damp, if possible, ask to settle you on the second floor. Also, for a comfortable stay, it would be nice to take a fumigator with you, as many vacationers complain about the abundance of mosquitoes.
The hotel operates on a breakfast and half board basis. On the territory of the hotel there is a tavern where you can dine (a little expensive). Vacationers prefer to refresh themselves in a small roadside tavern "Sonya", located nearby. The nearest settlements Metamorphosis and Nikiti are about 2-3 km away. You can rent a car or motorbike at the reception.
In general, the hotel is perfect for a relaxing beach holiday.

The stewardesses, respectively, are Greek, so they practically do not understand Russian, draw conclusions - without knowing English, you will not see a comfortable stay anywhere! We arrived early in the morning, all the staff, and indeed the Greek people, as it turned out, are very friendly kind and very, very fond of children.

You can also skype at the reception if you buy an internet card. Since we arrived before the opening of the season, there was no animation, but Greek music was always playing, and we found entertainment for ourselves For shopping, souvenirs, we walked along the forest road 3 km, half an hour, to the village of Metamorfosi, we also dined there once in the Liana tavern (32 euros for three, meat dishes, salad, homemade wine). The owner of the tavern, most likely an Armenian, is very sociable! We were in the Sonya tavern - go to it for about 10 minutes along the forest road towards Metamorfosi. Quiet peaceful place in an olive grove, served quickly, there is a menu in Russian, reasonable prices, delicious cuisine. In the village of Nikiti (4 km), we took a taxi (6 euros one way). Very beautiful old part (better by car), and the new one with the beach is also good! There are as many as 2 supermarkets in the village, but the prices in them are higher than in Metamorfosi stores, and walking is closer to them. We went almost every day for groceries and homemade wine. In general, the hotel has its own minimarket, but since we rested a little earlier than the season, the store was closed, and there were almost no vacationers. We bought honey for testing in a local shop, most likely they sell not very real honey for tourists. We tried it at home - compared to ours, it is not so fragrant, and the viscosity is not the same. And we came across a natural one, at the tip of Sithonia, when we drove by car, we bought it from a local resident, it turned out cheaper than in Nikiti's shops. On the beach of the hotel there is clean coarse sand, at the bottom, at first, 2 meters of pebbles, then sand, there were hedgehogs among the stones, although we saw that they were removed almost every day. Sun beds on the beach are paid - 6 euros 2 sun loungers and an umbrella, but during our holiday we used them for free. Travel by boat. In the morning we were taken by bus to the city of Neo Marmaras. A small "pirate" ship first brought us to a wild beach with blue water. The captain treated everyone to a watermelon “at the expense of the house”, a trifle, but nice! Then for lunch they brought to the fisherman's tavern - Ψ Α Ρ Ο Τ Α Β Ε Ρ Ν &# 913; ο π ά ν ο ς . Seafood prices here are lower than in other taverns, so we treated ourselves to the gifts of the Aegean Sea. Then swimming in the open sea near Turtle Island. They also promised to allocate time for a walk around the town, but it didn’t work out, the bus arrived earlier. On the ship during the voyage, the wind and the sun, so I advise my brother a hat and a windbreaker. I liked the boat trip very much, my son looked at the "deep blue sea" without stopping, we did not regret the money spent! 45 euros per person, including a small child. The last 2 days we decided to drive ourselves along the "fingers" of Halkidiki. The car was driven the night before, Kia Picanto automatic with a child seat and insurance for 2 days cost us 124 euros + 50 euros gasoline. Rent car "Space" +30-6932-723-259 Yuri. On the first day we went to the Petralone cave and along Kassandra. We left in the morning right after breakfast. We reached the cave following the signs. We put the car in the parking lot, and a small train took us to the cave, which runs every 20 minutes, costs 2 euros - tickets are sold at the box office on the site, but you can also walk about a kilometer. The cave is interesting, if time permits, you can visit it, but I don’t think it’s worth going specially. They said that the cave has the cheapest souvenirs, but as it turned out, Metamorfosi shops are cheaper. After visiting Petralone, we headed towards Kassandra. We went to some hotels just to look, stopped to swim on the beaches we liked. The second day - in the morning we stopped for souvenirs in a supermarket we already liked in Metamorfosi -Ε Φ Χ Μ Ε Ρ Ι Δ &# 917; Σ Ρ Ε Ρ Ι Ο Δ Ι Κ Γ . T & # 931; OPOYPOGLOY - there are the lowest prices for souvenirs, and also very kind sellers who speak a little Russian. Then, slowly drove around Sithonia, stopping at all the most beautiful beaches, of which there are a lot. By the way, we didn’t like the “vaunted” beaches of Vourvourou at all, at the tip of the finger the beaches are much more luxurious. Now a little about the hotel: Breakfast (from 7 am to 10 am) - a large selection, every day the same set of products, but everything is fresh and tasty. Milk and all dairy products cannot be compared with ours. From meat - every day fried sausages, bacon, and scrambled eggs, but on the last day, when there were more people, the meat was no longer enough for us. So in the season for breakfast you have to get up early! Dinners (from 19 to 21 h) varied - fish, pork, beef, national dishes, a lot of cold appetizers, salads, always several different meat dishes, soups. For dessert - ice cream, pies, different fruits, there were always lemons, oranges, apples, kiwi, cherries, a couple of times watermelon. Drinks are paid. In general, our vacation was a success!! ! weather, nature, people, and in general everything around, gave only positive emotions. The hotel staff was delighted with our boy, the waitresses set up a children's table, he eats on his own, which impressed them especially. Sometimes they themselves changed dishes for him (ice cream for dessert). The waitress at the bar spoke a little Russian. Tips: take a first aid kit with you - it came in handy a couple of times - a friend stepped on a hedgehog, and a child took out some thorns themselves with a needle and processed it. There were practically no mosquitoes, but I advise you to take a fumigator for those who are especially sensitive. That's probably all, I will be very glad if my review is useful to someone. And thanks to sunny Greece for a fabulous vacation!

Like rats rummaging through a heap of garbage, snorting angrily at the same time - associations with people who pay attention to trifles and cannot fucking treat such things with humor and allow themselves to overshadow their vacation. THERE IS VERY COOL! THERE IS PARADISE! ))

The hotel is located between two villages, Nikiti and Metamorfosi (2 and 3 km respectively). Therefore, there is a problem - where to buy fruit, water. Walking in the villages in hot weather is tiring. There is only one way out - to rent a car, it is better for the entire period. At the same time, it is worth going around the whole of Sithonia and discovering beautiful beaches.

Good day to all! ! I would like to share with you my impressions of my vacation in Greece at the Porfi Beach Hotel. We rested for 12 days with my husband and a child of 4 years. Thanks Mouzenidis, they worked quickly and efficiently. No complaints. Transfer from the airport on a comfortable bus with a good guide. The road from the airport to the hotel lasts 1.5 hours, taking into account the fact that many people landed at other hotels (which could not but rejoice). There was a little embarrassment with the check-in, but this was not the fault of the hotel managers, we just arrived at the hotel at 9-00 in the morning. This is our travel agency out of good intentions (so as not to lose days), they booked us tickets for a flight at 4-55 in the morning. Together with us, an elderly couple of Russians also arrived at the hotel. Check-in starts at 14:00. An elderly couple was lucky - their room turned out to be free, but we were asked to leave our things at the reception and take a walk. Without thinking twice, we decided to go to Nikiti. As a result, we got to our room only at 14-30. My advice to all of you, fly out of Moscow no earlier than 9 am, so that you have to wait as little time as possible for check-in. The calculation of arrival at the hotel is approximately the following: 3 hours flight + 40 minutes at the airport in Thessaloniki + 1.5 hours drive to the hotel. Yes, and do not forget that their time is 1 hour behind Moscow in the summer. Now about everything in more detail. The hotel and its location. The hotel is located between two villages, Nikiti and Metamorfosi (2 and 3 km respectively), in the first line. I liked the hotel itself. Clean, simple, but so cozy. Somehow, it's very soulful. To the main road about 50-70m, not noisy. The territory is immersed in greenery, which cannot but rejoice. A very unusual combination: pines and palms! The air is simply divine. To the sea 200m. Number. There are not many rooms. We lived in 401, with a separate exit to the patio. In my opinion, these are the most successful numbers. Everything is simple in the room: a bed, a couch for a child, a refrigerator, air conditioning (for those who understand DAIKIN))), although not new, a TV (only the First channel from our channels), a wardrobe, a table, a mirror, a bedside table, a hair dryer. I liked that there was a big bath and not just a shower. The refrigerator freezes with a bang. There are no bathrobes (we didn’t even need them), slippers too (if you plan to sit all day in the room, bring your own). Safe at the reception, per week 17 euros. Cleaned in the room every day, towels are also changed every day, bed linen every 3 days. In general, everything is quite decent! True, my advice to you is to take your shampoo, soap, shower gel with you, there are tiny samplers. Well, on your first trip to the supermarket, buy an air freshener, because the bath is together with the toilet, but they somehow didn’t think about the smell. ))) Well, it’s better to grab a toilet paper too, because they forgot to put it on us once. It is better to have a reserve) Meals at the hotel. They took breakfast and dinner. Let me tell you, I have never been to breakfast. Too lazy to get up, and there are a lot of people. But dinners... Honestly, I confess to you, I love to eat. And what was at dinner was more than enough. Meat, vegetables, 3 pieces of side dishes to choose from, fruits (watermelon, melon, peaches, kiwi), soup, desserts. There were no drinks. Considering that my husband is a chef of European cuisine, the food was very good!!!!!! ! Tasty! ! Also, if you want to eat in the evening, but you don’t want to go anywhere, you can also eat in the restaurant at the hotel. Just do not order meat there, it is almost 2 times more expensive than in Nikiti or Metamorfosi taverns. The cost of a portion of pork loin with french fries is 11 euros (6.5 euros in village taverns). My recommendations: pasta, a huge portion of carbonara 7 euros. There is also the usual for 5. Local bar. Semi-sweet red wine 14 euros a bottle, pina colada cocktail 8 euros, beer 0.5-3.8 euros, lemonade 3 euros. Staff and service. There is only one Russian-speaking manager Milena at the reception. Her working day ends at 4:30 pm, so after that time you will have to explain yourself in English. Eleni knows Russian in the bar. Thank you so much Milena for your help. You can always approach her and ask everything that interests you. The rest of the managers Andrea and Christie (I don't remember exactly) are also good, but it's more difficult to communicate with them, because my English leaves much to be desired))). Eleni is just a sincere person, a very good attitude towards everyone, kind. Eleni, thank you for the gift! ! The only thing was 2 small embarrassment with cleaning. Once (our oversight - they forgot to put up a DO NOT DISTURB sign), the maid entered our room at 9-30 in the morning. And we were still sleeping, and the second time, even when the sign was hanging, she still knocked. In order for us to wake up, she needs to get out. Discomfort. Well, about laundry in the laundry. One wash costs 10 euros, regardless of whether you have collected a laundry bag or one item. At the reception they said that the assembled package is simply placed on the bed and when the room is cleaned, the maid will pick it up. The first time it happened, they brought it in 2 days, although they said that they washed it in a day. Before leaving, we decided to once again give to wash things. Leaving things on the bed in the bag in which they brought the previous wash, in the evening, when we came to the room, we found our things exactly where they had left them. Husband said they thought we hadn't unpacked the previous stuff. Left things behind. morning in a simple bag from the supermarket, but the result is the same. Maybe they wanted money for tea? This is what I didn't understand! I will follow. times to keep in mind. Sea. The beach is sandy. At the entrance to the sea there is a small strip of pebbles (on the left side of the beach 1.5 m, on the right side 0.5 m), then a sandy bottom. Sunbeds are paid, 6 euros per day. 2 sunbeds, umbrella, table-chair, 2 mattresses for sunbeds and 2 towels. And for those who are not satisfied with the cost, they may well sit on their towel or rug. I think that the cost is small, especially since you can leave your swimming accessories and your towels there, and no one will even touch them with a finger or throw them off. There are enough beds for everyone. There is also a beach bar. There are few sunbeds by the pool, not enough for everyone, but they are free. There are no slides, but there is a children's section. In the morning the sea is quiet, warm and incredibly clear. Fish are swimming at the bottom about 20 meters from the shore. Diving with a mask is a pleasure. In the evening, waves rise, but small. But how nice it is to ride the waves... Transport. Somewhere I read a review that taxis do not go to Porfi - a lie. Yes, on weekends it is difficult to get a taxi, but only because there are only 3 of them for 2 villages and they go to the airport on the way out. So plan on hiking on the weekends. And in the week a taxi arrives without any problems. To the Galaxy (or Galesias) supermarket in Nikiti 7 euros, i. e. 2 ends 14 euros. We didn’t go to Metamorfosi because our walks there just fell on the weekend. But they said that no more than 10 euros one way. It is useless to wait for buses, to stop the car too (at that moment they sadly remembered Moscow with cross-mobiles). But in Metamorfosi, it seems like you can rent a car, about 30-50 euros per day. Russian rights are being rolled there. Nikiti and Metamorfosi. It is worth walking to both villages at least once. Nature is simply amazing. And what kind of photos can be taken... You will swing!! ! I liked Nikiti more. This village is stretched along the road, in contrast to the "bumpy" Metamorfosi. Nikiti has an amazing port. There is a city beach, yachts, boats (perhaps, you can negotiate a lease, we did not find out), many shops. But so far only 2 places are worth attention (at least on this trip): A souvenir shop on the way to the port, if you go to the sea, then on the right side. There we bought a photo album made from the leaves of some tree and even the pages are green and smell of something vegetable (9 euros), and we bought a decorative net with shells that hangs on the wall (a small one is also 9 euros, they also hang more, but also the cost is up to 15 euros). There are many other pleasant trifles and a charming saleswoman. Supermarket Galaxy I do not take into account. Well, a charming place opposite the supermarket is the tavern Λ Υ Δ Ι Α Ν Ο Σ . In Metamorfosi somehow very vain. If you walk from the hotel, then the very first supermarket is the best place to buy soap, icons, and all sorts of souvenirs (both in choice and in value). Next comes the Liana tavern, where they speak Russian))). And the menu is also in Russian. There are a lot of tourists (I don't really like it! ), there are even Russians, it's just that there are a lot of hotels in Metamorfosi. In Nikiti somehow calmer. Taverns. As I said, the best place for lunch is Λ Υ Δ Ι Α Ν Ο Σ in Nikiti. We ate in Metamorfosi in Liana, and in Sofia, 3 minutes from the hotel (on the way to Metamorfosi), but there is nowhere tastier. Ignore the fishy smell at the entrance - they also have a fresh fish shop. It is better to sit there on the veranda. Huge portions, great service. I advise you to order: for two 1 serving of Greek salad (4.5 euros), grilled bread drizzled with olive oil and sprinkled with oregano (1.5 euros), pork loin (comes with french fries, surprisingly real, not defrosted, 6 5 euros), and a drink to your taste. On average, a dinner for three cost us 30 euros. Their fish is expensive, the minimum cost is 10 euros per fish. Awesome waiter Jordanis. Well, the hostess Maria is kindness herself, we were even treated to national dishes, one of them was with stewed eggplant. Leave tea (5-10% of the bill), and even for 3 euros you will see such gratitude, not like snickering waiters in Moscow. In "Liana" prices are almost the same, only there the tables are somehow close to each other, this creates a feeling of discomfort and anxiety. Well, to each his own. The last thing we visited and are very glad that we did not waste time on this tavern was the Sonya tavern. The service is not very good, the food is normal, but I didn’t like that you have to sit on the bread and pour oil and sprinkle oregano yourself ((. Yes, and the prices there are more expensive than in the previous two taverns. It’s better to spend money on a taxi and get to the village. In general, you decide where to eat. Souvenirs and prices in shops. As I said, the best place to buy magnets, soaps, spices is the first supermarket in Metamorfosi (if you walk), next to the Liana cafe. The cost of an ordinary magnet is 1 euro, soap 1 piece 1 euro, a set in a box of two pieces 3 euros, various icons up to 20 euros, spices up to 5 euros. A large set of spices (about 8 pieces) + a 0.25 bottle of olive oil costs 11 euros (bringing as a gift is just super!! ). I also bought a swimsuit for 17 euros, an average plastic suitcase 45 euros (the quality is excellent! ), But it can be cheaper (supermarket in Nikiti). My advice to you is to buy some milk. A liter costs 2.5 euros, in a bottle. I think after that you will not want to drink packaged Moscow milk. It's just something. Yummy!! ! So the prices are very, very even. Pharmacy. We ran into a small problem in their pharmacy, they do not have antiseptics, like we have streptocide. They have a PULVO47 spray, and even then not in all pharmacies, in Metamorfosi there is definitely no pharmacy. Therefore, if you are going to take plasters and bandages and streptocide. Just in case, otherwise they often have pins sticking out of the ground. . Alcohol and cigarettes. Well, to all lovers of alcohol)) They have excellent beer. In Msk I don’t drink beer at all, but there... It is so light, tasty, there is no that bitterness of alcohol that everyone is used to drinking in Msk. The store mostly sells cans at 0.33, at 0.5 less, Hoochie cocktails were not noticed, Jaguars - I was pleased, and I also didn’t see one and a half and two-liter eggplants of beer AT ALL. There were only 2 energy drinks: Red Bull and some local one. A package of beer from 6 cans of 0.33 each costs 3.5 euros. But smokers will have to take it with them and smoke sparingly))) A pack of 25 Pall Mall cigarettes costs 3 euros in Metamorfosi and 3.60 in a supermarket in Nikiti. Communication with the house. Oh, you tattered Beeline. Nae. . like a girl. Arriving there with $ 34 in the account, and talking for 10 minutes. in total (what do they promise there for 0622.69 rubles a minute with VAT? Piz. shh !!! ), I was in the red by 18 dollars. In general, my next advice to you, upon arrival, buy a FACE CARD in the supermarket for 5 or 10 euros. I bought for 10 euros for 10 euros))) You can call mobile phones for 3 hours, for landline numbers for 6 hours. I’ll tell you how to call Moscow time, because I needed to call, but no one could tell me how to dial the number (Milena had already left). Dial 8072003, then 3 again, start speaking in Russian, ask to enter a PIN) it is written in large letters on the check (this face card looks like a check from an ATM) and press #, then they say that there are 11 euros on the account and ask to enter a phone number. Dial 007 and then the number, if urban, then 495-…-. . -. . , and, accordingly, to mobile phones as well, after 007 the code (903), (915) and the number. DUTY FREE. I don’t know how it is in other countries, but when flying to Greece, don’t even go to Dutik with alcohol. We bought Asti Martini in Dutik for 10 euros, well, we think it’s cheap, we have a bottle of 0.75 rubles in the center of Moscow in the store for 920 rubles... And even this is without tax. . HERE WE ARE FUCKERS!!! ! Going to the same Galaxy in Nikiti, we saw a bottle of Asti 0.75 for 10 euros (tax or 13% or 23, I don’t remember exactly !! ). So do not strain your arm muscles and drive empty))) TOTAL. In general, let's summarize. Olinkus lovers do not belong here, and Thurland lovers too (you will be bored, e-my). This holiday is designed for people who are tired of the hustle and bustle of the city. For those who want to live at least a little without regard to time. For families with children (less worries that the child will fall and hit his head on the hill, that there are no catamarans and boats on the sea, again it is safe for children). For people who are tired of "Russian" drunks pouring vodka. Do not believe it, for all 12 days we did not see A SINGLE drunk person!! ! Yes, everyone drinks there, but not until usra. ki. In the evening, everyone at the hotel also sits in a cafe by the pool, chatting and drinking beer or wine. But they don't have our dimidrol beer that makes people go crazy from 2 bottles! Someone was indignant that there were no Russian speakers? Learn the language!! ! It is high time to understand that without English, nowhere. We need dressing gowns, slippers, and ass-licking - to Turkey, or Egypt in all in, to eat up yesterday's food. I also want to say that without money, just sitting in a hotel will be boring! We need elementary money to go to the villages for a walk and eat. And freeloaders who are accustomed to feeling like gods with 10.000 rubles in their pocket, please do not go to this hotel, so as not to write reviews later that everything is bad there, the staff is shitty, there are no slippers, and it’s expensive to eat !! ! This concludes my story! I would be glad if someone helped with advice. Well, we are following. we'll be back there again!! ! Porfi wait for us)

We rested in "Porfi" this summer. This is a cozy little hotel with very friendly staff, delicious goodies and a homely atmosphere. This hotel is very fond of the Germans, there are very few Russians. The hotel is buried in pine trees, so the air is awesome there! Squirrels run around the territory, swallows fly, there are just a huge number of them! Everything is compact and comfortable.

Breakfasts are held on the upper veranda, dinners in the lower restaurant, a restaurant is open by the pool during the day, and a bar opens in the evening. There is a tennis court next to the hotel. At the reception, as elsewhere, you can order bicycles, cars, mopeds, and of course excursions. Not far away (a 5-minute drive) is the town of Nikiti, with many cafes and souvenir shops. And if you go further along the coast.... you can see a lot of beauty. . . and wild beaches with jellyfish and octopuses, and the reserved Porto Carras, and. . . "Porfi" is a hotel for those who do not need animators for entertainment, noisy foam discos in the evenings, a lot of people relaxing around. . . If you want to take a break from the hustle and bustle, listen to the chirping of swallows, just wander along the endless beaches, returning in the evening to a cozy Greek-style room, then go to "Porfi", you will not regret it!
