Crete - the biggest and, perhaps, the most interestingin terms of tourism of the islands of Greece. This is indicated by the millions of tourists visiting Crete daily. The attractiveness of the island due to the ability to combine beach tours with excursions. Rest on the island of Minotaur will appeal to fans of a lazy pastime, as well as curious tourists who travel from place to place to see more attractions. There are so many of them on Crete that it is unlikely that we will be able to see everything at once in one visit. As for the level of service in the hotels of the island, with this, too, everything is in order. The most popular among Russian tourists are 4 * hotels, where you can get the highest service at relatively low prices. For example, a weekly rest at the Mare Monte Beach Hotel 4 * (Crete) costs from 25,000 rubles per person. The hotel is located near the city of Chania - the second city after Heraklion on the island.
Chania - the pearl of Crete
Due to the abundance of canals and rivers flowing throughthe city, Chania is called the Greek Venice. In the spring, the city is buried in the bushes of flowering jasmine, and its aroma is interrupted by the salty smell of the sea. The city is located in the western part of the island. It is not as dry as in the eastern and southern parts, so you can find densely growing forests and gardens, flowering shrubs and a lush carpet of greenery around the hotel complexes. The most popular resorts in the area of Chania are the villages of Platanias, Kavros and Georgioupolis. In the latter among the green gardens is the white building of the hotel Mare Monte Beach Hotel 4 *. But before proceeding to the description of this luxury complex, which, according to reviews of Russian tourists, is one of the best in the whole of Chania, I want to stay at the village of Georgioupolis and briefly describe its sights.
Garden City
Actually this resort is very green, justthe eye rejoices. Numerous restaurants, cafes, taverns and bars are immersed in flowering bushes and eucalyptus and cypress trees. The hotels here are small, mostly painted in white or very light pastel colors, which harmonizes perfectly with the natural picture. The town has a small port, on both sides of which stretch gorgeous golden beaches. In short, in this town, next to which is Mare Monte Beach Hotel 4 *, miraculously combines white, turquoise, emerald and golden hues, forming an incredible beauty of the landscape. The beach of Georgioupolis is divided into several parts by small rivers, Almiros and Perastikos. At the place of their entry into the sea water is cold, there are strong currents. By the way, in earlier times this village was called Almiropoli, in honor of the river Almyros flowing through it.
The holiday season in these places lasts from April toOctober. Especially beautiful here, of course, at the beginning of the season, when the city is all in bloom. The summer is sometimes very hot, and the thermometer reaches 40 degrees or more, and the sea water is not very warm due to the currents, which helps to cool down on particularly hot days.
