We went to rest on the sea. They promised a sandy beach. In fact, there are a couple of places where it is pleasant to enter the sea. Basically, stone bottom. Walking barefoot is very problematic, it hurts the legs.
We must pay tribute - the sea is very clean, the water is clear, swimming is very pleasant. That is if you get there. Many reviews write that the descent is steep. They are deceiving. He is very cool!! ! In some places the slope is up to 40-45 degrees. God forbid, you stumble. Going down will be very painful. On the left, the descent is 150 meters, but even steeper. On the right, on private territory, to the beach with sun loungers, 200-250 meters. And if for me it was exercises in the morning and in the evening on the left to run to the sea to swim, then my wife did not want to go to the sea more than once a day. Too hard climb.
By numbers. Clean, relatively. Cleaned up every day. Change towels. There are nuances, but not very significant. Mosquitoes are a little annoying. I had a couple of pieces in my room, but some of them turned out to be much more. There is a safe in the room and a refrigerator. Seems alright. But the key to the safe is attached to a chip for electricity. Leaving - you take the key - there is no electricity in the room - the refrigerator is turned off. It was difficult, but to remove this key. The refrigerator cools drinks well, but did not work for a couple of days - it could not stand the heat.

By food. Morning and evening buffet. The first three days were great. There was a variety of food. Then everything became boring, and they began to cook worse. The main problem is fruits. The only fruit of all time is watermelon. While talking to other hotel guests, there was a large selection of different fruits. During the entire stay, fish was given only once, although the sea is nearby.
The main problem is the pool. He's not bad. Depth from 0.6 to 2.7 meters. During the day it is good to lie down near it, swim in it. But you can't go out and swim before breakfast. After 20.00 too. Although it has a backlight and it would be very nice to swim in the dark. Therefore, I had to run early in the morning and late in the evening to swim in the sea. If you have not forgotten - on the left - along a very steep descent-ascent, as a charge.
For breakfast, drinks were always given three types of juice: cherry, grapefruit, orange. True, the taste is not pure juice, but highly diluted nectar. Coffee, milk cold and hot. The milk also seemed diluted with water - very tasteless, especially after ours. Tea bags.
You are not allowed to bring your own drinks and food near the pool. Only buy from them.
Dinner does not include drinks. Also buy from them. You cannot bring with you.
Prices. Tea - 2.5 euros. Beer 0.5 l - 3 euros. House wine, red and white, 0.5 l - 4 euros. Wine in bottles - 12 euros. Orange fresh (there was no other) - 4 euros. Drinks - in a bottle of 200 g - 2.5 euros. Drinking water 1 l - 1 euro.
Prices in the city in the store. Greek beer Alpha 0.5 l - 1.08 euros. Wine in a 1.5 l plastic bottle (dry white, rose, red) - 2.5 euros. The wine tastes better than in a restaurant. A bottle of wine, which is 12 euros in a restaurant, 3.3 euros in a store. Drinking water - pack 6 X 1.5 l - from 1.2 to 2 euros.
Getting to the city and back is quite easy by bus. City bus - 1.8 euros per person from any stop to any stop.
If you walk to the nearest shops. To the right - 1.5 km, to the left - 2 km. To the right there is a shop and several cafes. To the left - several shops (including fruit) and souvenir shops. In them you can buy everything for the beach. Prices in shops are higher than in the city, but much lower than in a hotel restaurant.
For excursions, it is better to contact various travel agencies in the city than to hotel guides. It will be MUCH cheaper.
