Прерасное место для отдыха! Excellent place to relax!

Who goes where, and we are already the third time in Greece. This time we (two girls) went to Halkidiki, to Porto Karas Sithonia.
When we bought the tour, our manager warned that the hotel was not new, so we knew about it in advance, so we did not expect to see newly built buildings. And I am surprised by tourists who write that they wanted a new hotel with new rooms, etc. All the information is on the Internet, and if you know where you are going, then your vacation will be great. Moreover, the hotel is not the most expensive, and, accordingly, what we buy is what we get. And we booked it in general for the "hotel of the day" promotion, so we saved very well.
We rested here for 8 days, and it turned out to be very little. The hotel has just a gorgeous beach, wide, and the water is clean, clean, azure, super! Of course, there is not fine white sand, as on the island of Diaporos on the other side of Sithonia, but walking on it is very comfortable. Many write about the lack of sun loungers. We observed this picture a couple of times: tourists come, look around, do not see sunbeds, leave, and then after 10 minutes they come with hotel guides and they point them to free sunbeds)) Of course, if these are several large families vacationing together, then nearby it is very difficult to find so many sun loungers, but my girlfriend and I had no such problem. One has only to walk a few meters along the beach and take a closer look around))

We were placed in a standard room on the 4th floor, overlooking the sea. Rooms are spacious, very comfortable bed with fluffy pillows; the bathroom may not be the newest, but we didn’t come to sit in the room, let alone look at the bathroom))) Instead, we took a car for 2 days and rode around Sithonia, the hotel representatives advised us to go to Vourvourou beach , Sarti, Porto Koufo. So we went)) We took gorgeous photos, bought ourselves a swim, stopped in small villages on the way to eat in taverns. Of course, Greek cuisine is good... everything is always fresh, fruits, vegetables, feta cheese, seafood, meat, absolutely EVERYTHING is delicious! By the way, we also played tennis. It's just a lot of fun there. I'm already talking about animation. The kids are definitely not sitting idle. There is even something like a small riding school. In general, we went to the beach - sunbathed and rented bicycles a couple of times. Everything is great!! ! And the rooms are all standard. The main thing is that it is clean and there is always hot water))
We left one day to go on an excursion, during which they take out the Belt of the Virgin (we read about it even before departure, and decided to definitely go). First, we took a bus to our ship, then we went by ship to St. Athos. In general, when we were told at the hotel that the Belt of the Virgin Mary would be lifted onto the ship, we had no idea how all this was happening. And this is true, the monks with the Belt, the icon of the All-Tsaritsa, boarded the ship to us. And they also brought us the Gifts of the Magi, although this was not in the program. It seems to me that there was not a single person on the ship who would remain indifferent, even now I have tears in my eyes when I remember the love with which the monks from Athos addressed us. . .
We also went to the town of Neos Marmaras (near Porto Karras) on a boat for 2.5 euros. It’s very cool, you can not walk to the city, but get by sea, such a mini-cruise)). Although walking along the beach is only 20 minutes. In Marmaras, there are many shops with delicious ice cream, with Greek gyros shawarma, and many taverns with seafood. On Thursday we went to the local bazaar, bought fruit, homemade wine, and all this for ridiculous money.
In general, it is never boring in Greece, you just need to properly set yourself up for a vacation, just for a vacation, and not that you will come to a hotel to look for cons. We liked the hotel, probably due to its beach and nature. Everywhere there are shortcomings, but you need to go on vacation with a smile!
