бюджетно и хорошо для спокойного отдыха budget and good for a relaxing holiday

Rested with her husband in Zakynthos in August for two weeks. We stayed at the Astoria Hotel, in Alykes, in the north of the island. The village is very quiet and calm. The hotel mainly rests the British of retirement age, a few Poles and Russians. There are few children, so you relax both mentally and physically! The hotel area is small but very cozy. We took only breakfasts, on the assumption that we will not be attached to the hotel, and we will travel, which means we will have lunch and dinner in different taverns. Breakfasts are typical for 2 *, fruits, yogurt, boiled eggs, beans, pancakes, for me a good and hearty breakfast. As for the room - the room is small with a view of the mountains, they are reluctant to change to a sea view, but we understand that the hotel was full, and it is physically impossible to place everyone in rooms with a sea view, "sea view" and so you can have every day on the beach . By the way, as for the beach, there is a narrow strip of sandy beach near the hotel itself, but if you go a little to the left or right, you can safely sit on the beach, buy beach towels and umbrellas, and sunbathe. Air conditioning, safe - everything is paid, air conditioning 7 euros / day, safe -10 euros / week. But we never used the air conditioner, in the evenings the breeze blew - it was comfortable. The only negative is wild mosquitoes, but nothing can be done about them, we bought a fumigator in the market at the hotel, they didn’t get us anymore. As for the island, it's just a fairy tale! This is not the first time we have been in Greece, we have been to Crete and Rhodes, but Zakynthos sunk into our souls! We traveled around the island, we took 2 excursions from our guide - a sightseeing tour by bus with a sea walk through the blue caves, and we went to the Askos Zoo, the excursions were excellently organized. Anyone who likes a relaxing holiday - welcome to the Astoria Hotel in Zakynthos.
