I returned from Greece this afternoon and I feel it necessary to write a review, although I have never done this before. Rested with a friend in Poseidon in the town of Kriopigi. The hotel positions itself as 3 stars, in fact, it doesn't smell like stars at all.
Location - a couple of kilometers from the village of Kriopigi, go there with a brisk pace for half an hour (this is if you want to see something other than the hotel, and you certainly want this, because the hotel has nothing but a bar, tea from a bag in which costs 3 euros). If you are planning to visit any excursions or activities, keep in mind that the bus will pick you up and drop you off on the main road, and then you will walk about 600 meters to the hotel (at night it is especially exciting, we returned from the Greek night at half past one).
The hotel itself looks good, the rooms are rather big, we had a normal double bed and another one and a half (in reserve, probably), the TV is tiny, it didn’t work in principle, the refrigerator is also miniature, but working. Wardrobe and other furniture is normal, there are enough hangers for clothes, there is a hair dryer, a safe right in the room is free. The air conditioner is antediluvian, it hangs and buzzes right above the bed, it blows very strongly, so it is almost impossible to be in the room with the air conditioner running. At the same time, the main part of this unit hangs on the balcony and mercilessly drips onto the floor, so that decent puddles form there. Do not dream of going out to the balcony barefoot if the air conditioner was working ((. There is a balcony, overlooking the sea, everything is quite standard there. Separately, about smoking. You can smoke everywhere in the hotel, which, apparently, is connected with the passionate desire of smokers from all over Europe to come in my opinion, only children do not smoke, so it is almost impossible to keep the balcony doors open, the smell is heavenly!

The bed broke on the second day, they came to fix it right away, but they only managed to fix it when we gave them our Phillips screwdriver. Well, they didn't have one!
A piece of disposable soap and a cracked glass for toothbrushes lay solemnly in the bathroom. The shower cabin was leaking terribly, everything spilled onto the floor in the bathroom, so you can only go to the toilet and wash yourself in rubber shoes. Otherwise, you will be up to your ankles in what you washed with... There was no hot water three times in 10 days. There is no laundry, and the washing machine in the hotel did not work.
Towels were changed without talking, but after you ask, otherwise there is no hope. Bed linen was changed once in 11 days, and then because they decided that we were leaving. Wrong in our favor, Hurrah.
The room was cleaned daily (wiped the floor around the beds, that's all). It takes the staff 4 minutes to clean the room, we spotted it. If towels are changed, then the floor is not washed that day, so as not to relax)
But three times during this period there was a la Greek evening on the territory of the bar with music until the morning, chants, and the sounds of a ship's bells when someone's order is ready in the kitchen. Perky. I slept in earplugs. I have no idea what the parents did with their children. For children there is a paddling pool. Everything.
Road to the sea: called "Say no to cellulite" - a steep descent along the path, 200 steps. Back, respectively, uphill. if you have heart or breathing problems, you won't make it. Truth. If health is normal, then the road decently trains the muscles of the legs, although thistles grow on the right, and human-sized sedges on the left, it’s easy to cut yourself.

Nature is very beautiful. Pines, herbs, rhododendrons, palm trees, magnolias are beautiful! There are no complaints about nature. The beach is nice, mostly sand. You can find a decent entrance to the sea. Slippers for swimming help out a lot. (Where it is deeper, there may be hedgehogs, but there are not many of them). An umbrella and two sun loungers cost 4 euros for the whole day. You can sunbathe on your towels absolutely free. On the beach, no one bothers you with goods and massages, which is also pleasing. Sea-Aegean! Azure, clear, transparent, warm, gentle. even when it's stormy, there's no algae or jellyfish. Sea - 5 stars!!!
There is a swimming pool with sun loungers on site. Free and decent. Wi-Fi is free, but it does not catch in the rooms (it catches on the balcony and on the street).
The kitchen is just a shame and disgrace. Breakfast - muesli, sausage, cheese (mostly soy), tomatoes, cucumbers, rolls, margarine, jam, yogurt (thick as sour cream, not every day), milk diluted ten times, it is impossible to drink. The coffee is a little lukewarm, there is no tea, no water, an invite-type juice of unknown origin, also diluted. There were sausages twice and boiled eggs once. Dessert roll. That's it. And so every day. But this is a masterpiece compared to dinner. I had no idea that what is served for dinner can feed people in principle. Even the tomatoes were not every day. One or two types of vegetables (tomato, cucumber, pepper, lettuce, cabbage in various combinations) chopped without any seasonings. No sauce, no ketchup, no mustard, just salt, pepper, vinegar and oil (far from olive). Khryapa-type soup (a slurry of indistinct appearance, color and smell, I didn’t even try to taste). Gentlemen, I lived in the village, they don’t even cook this for pigs and I’m not cunning. Hot, if I may say so, it must have been hot once, but I have never seen this, portioned. They bring it to you personally on a plate. One type of food. No taste. For example, there was fish with rice. Fish was rubber, rice was fresh, cold, dry. It's just a shame. Of the fruits, there was a watermelon twice, also portioned (one third of the slice, and even children were not given additives). Once they gave a panna cotta-type dessert in disposable cups, for some reason crookedly cut off along the top edge so that I cut my lip. After that we stopped going to dinner. Drinking for dinner is not given in principle. Nothing, not even water. No cheese, no sausage for dinner. In general, I am an unpretentious girl, but such cooking simply humiliated me. My mother and three children rested with us (the youngest is still in a stroller), on the third day they went to Kriopigi for food. Along with a stroller. It's embarrassing, by God.
Summary. Bed and breakfast type hotel. With beautiful sea. It is optimal to have breakfast, eat fruits bought in the village for lunch, and go to kriopigi in taverns for dinner after the sea, since there are plenty of them. If you treat it this way, then you can save your nerves and have a good rest. And don't forget earplugs with rubber slippers. Good luck!
