We were in Greece for the first time, we arrived with my husband and a 5-year-old child in early July. The weather was great, the heat was tolerated comfortably on the seashore, but there is nowhere in the room without air conditioning. We spent our weekly vacation in the hotel complex Porto Carras Sithonia. We read a lot of reviews, both new and last year, doubted for a long time, but nevertheless, we decided, and as it turned out, not in vain. We liked everything, everything is provided here for children's recreation and for adults, in principle, too. I'll start in order.
TERRITORY
The scale of the territory is simply amazing. It consists of both equipped parts and "wild" nature (forests, lagoons). Around the pines, fir, shrubs, palm trees, flowers, trimmed lawn, vineyards, clean air + sea breeze. The hotel is located on the peninsula of Sithonia in a protected area. Far from the airport of Thessaloniki, we drove about 2 hours by car (individual transfer), comfortable, with air conditioning. A pleasure train runs around the territory, you can also rent bicycles and ride, or just take a walk in the evening.

BEACH
The beach line is wide, the sand is coarse, clean. I don’t know how much we rested, we went to the sea every day, there were always enough sunbeds, but of course, not on the first line, but still. Cards for beach towels were issued at the reception upon check-in on a deposit of 50 euros, the towels themselves must be taken at the counter on the beach. The bar is open and they make delicious cocktails.
NUTRITION
As for us, so excellent, a large selection of main dishes, side dishes, salads, snacks, various cuts, cheeses, pizza. Fresh vegetables and fruits (watermelons, melons, cherries, oranges, apples). Of the meat dishes, pork, beef, chicken, less often lamb. Seafood, fish. Sweet table with various goodies. Yes, indeed, there was a queue at the restaurant, but basically at the very beginning of the restaurant's opening, it is better to go to dinner at 20:00 - 20:30.
ANIMATION
For adults, unobtrusive animation, aerobics, water aerobics, volleyball, men often played football. Not on the territory there are golf courses, diving, a hippodrome, tennis courts, a casino, a spa, in general, there is something to do. For children there is a children's club Grekoleto. Many thanks to the animator Michael. Cheerful, positive, with children on the same wavelength. We played in the pool, various events, every day at 20:30 there was a mini-disco, our child was happy, plus there are a lot of children in the hotel, just some kind of children's camp. Also for children there is a swimming pool, water slides, playground.
ROOM
This is the only, I can’t say that it’s a direct minus, a small drawback of the hotel. The interior of the room is not new, the furniture is a bit old, but in general the room is cozy, consists of a salon and two rooms, we had a family suite, spacious, bright, beautiful sea view. The room was cleaned regularly in the morning, the linen was changed 2 times a week.
STAFF

Satisfied with the staff in all areas, from cleaners to reception. The waiters in the restaurant are great, they work quickly. There is no familiarity from the staff, they are treated with respect and understanding. Attentive and courteous with guests. Separately, we want to thank our hotel guides Evgenia Mouzenidis and Mohir. The guys are on duty every day at the hotel, you can contact them with any questions. We went from them on an excursion to Meteora and spent one day shopping, went to the Enigma shopping center. A small center with Greek products, fur coats, some clothes, souvenirs.
I want to say that the hotel met all our requirements and fully justified its price. I recommend the hotel for absolutely any category of people.
