Близко море, зеленая территория Close to the sea, green area

Hello!
In May 2016, I rested with my husband at the Sithonia Village Hotel 3 *. Overall, I enjoyed my holiday very much. We planned to rest in an inexpensive budget hotel and our expectations were met. Despite the fact that the hotel is an economy class, however, we did not feel it in any way. Very welcoming and friendly staff, and since the hotel is not big, everyone knows each other by name.
We were met upon arrival by a representative of the travel company with which we are traveling not for the first time, the hotel guide Larisa is a very sensitive and friendly woman. She told us about the territory of the hotel about all the nuances, about the town in which the hotel was located. We all heard about excursions when we were driving from the airport, so we immediately turned to Larisa with a desire to go on some of them! After all, the whole vacation to sit in a hotel is very difficult, you need to study the place where you are for the first time!

As for the territory of the hotel itself: it is small, throughout the territory there are houses of two floors, all white with blue accents, typical of the Greek style. In the middle of these houses there is, as it were, a large garden alley. And the sea is generally within walking distance, even when you drive up to the hotel by bus, you can immediately see the sea incredibly close. Sandy beach, when entering the sea, only a few stones. The water is clear, turquoise. And the location of this hotel right in the town of Gerakini gives it great advantages. In the evening you can go out and walk around this settlement, there are many taverns, various shops (supermarkets and souvenir shops), in general, the place is quite lively.
The rooms were cleaned daily and very carefully, we were very surprised that in a three-star hotel they keep cleanliness so well! Meals in a special dining room at the Reception, no frills, but quite varied. For breakfast, various hot dishes were also given: eggs in different variations, pastries and cold ones: yogurt, sweets, jams. For dinner there were always the main local dishes, side dishes, salads and appetizers, and of course, several types of Greek olives, here they are delicious in their own way! As for the room, ours was all in white, as is customary in traditional Greek houses, although this confused me a little at first, because it looked very cold. Our accommodation was Double Standard. It was there: 2 shifted single beds, a TV with a Russian channel, air conditioning, of course, a refrigerator, in general, all the amenities were provided in full. I want to talk about cleanliness in the hotel and in the room again and again, we constantly changed towels and changed bed linen twice a week. Even the bath felt always clean and fresh. But, keep in mind that the hotel does not have animation, so if you are traveling with children, then the main activity for them will be walking in the garden on the playground, or swimming in the sea. In general, the hotel is perfect for an economical and relaxing holiday. Soulful hotel and staff!
