Sithonia, however, as the first "finger" of the Halkidiki Peninsula very much to have a great rest. In addition to wonderful beaches, most of which are marked by a blue flag, testifying to the purity of the beach and water itself, here you can enjoy silence and solitude, to see the ancient monuments of architecture dating from the ancient period, to make pilgrim tours to the meteor and Athos. A huge number of holiday advantages on Sithonia and Chalkidiki as a whole.
As for living, then hotels are quite decent with a worthy service. Categories (star) are absolutely different, as well as remoteness from the sea. Therefore, before selecting a tour, clearly decide what you need. If you are important for you, the hotel has a private beach and a large area, then the cost will be significantly higher. In Greece, you can relax not only in hotels 5 and 5+, but also a holiday in the "four" and "treshka" here is very worthy. I can say on your own experience. In its first visit, a five-star hotel was chosen on the first coastline, with a private beach. Of course, a chic room with everything you need for accommodation, good, not excellent, namely good food (took full board). The territory is small, for Greece is the norm. There is an outdoor pool, also very modest sizes, bar, street tables.
The beach did not like. Very small, the entrance is stony, without slippers not fit. Sun loungers Tourists from Serbia, holidays here with groups with a lot of children, occupy in the morning, did not particularly want to rise every morning for the time to book a place under the sun. I preferred a trip, so I lost a lot of nutrition. At the hotel I was actually in the morning and came to the night. By the way, there was no children's cuisine in five stars. Animation is rare - once a week. Mostly, everyone focused on the bar, where the local male population came freely. Therefore, in the next arrival, I chose the hotel "treshka" and rest there I liked, oddly enough, more. There was no own beach, went to the municipal. If you choose a tour, and you are taudded in a travel agency that the beach has no beach, it is not necessary to scare. In Greece, especially on Sithonia, city beaches are excellent.
They are well-groomed, clean, here you can rent and a chaise longue and an umbrella for only 1 euro per day. Want to buy an umbrella in the village and sunbathe by anyone without paying anything. The lack of a beach makes you more mobile. You can relax absolutely in different places. For 3-5 euros you can ride a water scooter, single boat, Tatamaran. All about holidaymakers.
If the hotel is disposed of from the sea, too, do not be afraid. Usually from the second coastline to the sea for about 3-5 minutes. Does not strain such a walking absolutely. As for nutrition, you can, if you plan not only sunbathing, but also to travel, take half board. All Europe crossed HB. There is enough food, well, but if not enough, then cafe, restaurants in the villages a lot. Lost will cost about 10-15 euros. You can buy products in the supermarket, which are also a lot in all resort towns. For recreation with children, you can also take "treci", because in many of them there are rooms with an individual cuisine. There are accommodation hotels in Bungalow.
There are 3 pools in hotels 3 and 4 stars, the territory is small almost everywhere. Rooms in Tryshka, of course, is easier, but everything you need is a bed, wardrobe, individual air conditioning, TV, hairdryer, bathroom. Clean every day, underwear change every three days.
Personnel in hotels Russian-speaking, not all, of course. Representatives of Moldova, as well as Albania, work as the service personnel. They come to Greece for seasonal earnings. Knowledge of English still does not hurt. The owners of the hotel, in which I have been resting, do not speak Russian. It came to communicate in English. But communication was rare, since all current questions you will decide through your hotel guide.
For cleaning, or let's say in the cafe, you can leave tips, you can not. I left the tip cleaner of the room in the last place before leaving. Put the euro couple on the bed. This will be your small fee. If you visit temples, then in Greece it is customary to leave donations. Determine the amount yourself. The amount of tip in the cafe is also defined as all over the world, about 10% of the order value. If you do not leave, no one will condemn you, well, they can look at your side.
There are also many Russian-speaking residents in the villages. If you buy something in shopping beds, make sure. There are many people from the former republics of the USSR, a lot of Georgians. People are welcome, always ready to help if you get lost or do not know the road. Will help, prompt. Here, no one pulls anyone by the hand, does not call you to buy goods. Country civilized. Welcome - you will go. Girls should not be afraid to go here to rest one. Yes, local men show interest and many of them don't even mind to start a resort novel and spend a few days at the expense of the ladies, but it is only at the mutual desire of the parties and in no way forced. Many ladies themselves go here for such dating.
Being here more than once I can't even remember anything bad or negative from rest. I liked Greece so much, Chalkidiki, that I came here in a row for three years and I think I will come back. Leisure is comfortable and takes place on full positive.
