Greetings to all readers and seekers of Greek adventures. Today we will go to the village of Krupiga, which is located on a green hill and is washed by the azure waves of Toroneos Bay. If you trust Herodotus, I trust, it starts from the fifth century to AD. There was an ancient city called Naples. This news is very intrigued and promises many historical and archaeological finds.
This resort settlement is just 95 kilometers from Thessalonik. He received its modern name in 1955 from the Greek word "Kriopigi", which means a cold source, which still flows here from three cranes, which were decorated with a stone masonry with a composition of sculptural heads, and are now considered a symbol of the village. Water is very tasty, cool and fresh, what is needed on a summer day. In Greece, there are many natural sources, especially in the mountains, for example, on Olympus, with such a delightful taste that after I tried, I want to drink only this water.
In addition to historical attractions, source and, of course, the clean and transparent sea with beaches, awarded blue flag, in Kropigi you will find a large selection of opportunities for recreation, many high-level hotels, taverns and restaurants with gourmet sea cuisine, as well as bars. And in Califer, which is very nearby, even more choice of nightclubs, bars and discos. Plus, you can enjoy sea sports, tennis, basketball.
I will write a little about hotels that I know. Alexander The Great Hotel, a stylish and cozy hotel, it is immediately visible that he was created with great care of a guest. There is a garden, pine groves, swimming pool, sports and entertainment programs. The hotel received Green Key's award for high environmental standards. For me personally, this is a big plus, and this fact says a lot about the service and approach. People who think about the environment, creating their business, do it with a special responsibility. My friends and their parents stayed here, and were satisfied with the service and comfort. Kassandra Palace Hotel also has a large green area with palm trees and olive groves, a spacious pool, a kids club and entertainment programs for adults and children. I think it is well suitable for recreation with family and children. And another cozy hotel - Kriopigi Beach Hotel with an original walk on the train, which regularly runs to the beach and back so that you can enjoy the views of the surrounding landscapes. There is also a kids club, sports and entertainment.
Places with food. Tavern Nikos is a traditional family tavern (each member of the Zakhara Family works here for all days, not to give up hands), which has been working since 1974, which speaks of experience, special quality and guidance of the owners. Fresh fish dishes and seafood, as well as traditional meat dishes of Greek cuisine, cooked on coals, in the taste of which feels home care. Lunch for two can do an average of 40-50 euros, depending on the number of dishes and appetite guests. If the restaurant format wants, I advise Agora Beach Restaurant - Sea Kitchen, traditional Greek snacks, delicious soft drinks and cocktails. There is also a Beach bar, where you can enjoy the sea and the beach, ordering at least a drink. Another pleasant Bistro restaurant with a cozy atmosphere and a veranda with a wonderful view of the sea. There are prepared dishes in a wood furnace, and also serve original desserts and baking.
The amount of the account in restaurants can be an average of 10-20 euros higher than in taverns. Quickly and stylish (design in pop art) have a snack in Sweet & Sour Fast Food, Restaurant, I advise you to try the traditional Greek "Gyros" from pork or chicken to understand what fast food is in Greek and, as an option, stop Love McDonalds (which is not surprising in Greece, which is not surprising). And Casablanca Cocktail & Kitchen Bar is generally a versatile place, here you can eat, eat, drink coffee, choose a cocktail from a variety of suggested, if you want, enjoy hookah, watch sports competitions.
I also note that the marked traditional holidays in the village are the Day of St. Paraskeva, which is celebrated on July 26, and the Most Holy Virgin - August 15. So, if you are in these edges in these dates, you can enjoy folk festivities with their special mood and atmosphere, greek tasty, drinks, dancing and songs. To new meetings!
