If I could I would give no star at all!!! We spend 20€ on 3 drinks (Coffee was not even hot!) and just wanted to play some card, when a waiter scared us off and insulted us because we were no hotel guests (we were served and they knew that we were not hotel guests) He didn't let us speak and was incredable rude!!! never again!!!

High end Hotel beaming with tradition and history yet modern service. Their wellness spa is up there in line with the best that can be found worldwide. It was a short break but we have promised ourselves to come back for a long stay soon.

I had high expectations for this spa, given the premium prices, but unfortunately, it was a complete disappointment. The cleanliness was absolutely unacceptable—dirty bathtubs, unkempt facilities, and an overall unhygienic environment that made it impossible to relax. The services were nowhere near what you would expect from a spa charging such high rates. The treatments felt rushed and unprofessional, with little to no attention to detail. The overall atmosphere lacked the serenity and luxury that a proper spa should offer. To make matters worse, the breakfast was just as bad—bland, low-quality food that was clearly not fresh.

The hotel is situated in a perfect location yet the maintenance is not as expected which left us with an unpleasant experience. The Spa pool and area are not clean enough, the towels ( if any, as not always available) are old and worn out same goes for the bathrob. This hotel has great potential to become a jewel but not in this cleanliness level.

Paradise on Earth! Amazing place , amazing hospitality , outstanding service! High quality standards for providing the best of the best of relaxation, wellness and spa! For sure it's the place of your dreams! Thank you for make me live such an experience!

I walked in with my dog in my arms a mini poodle for to get a spa program and the woman in the reception acted as I walked in with a monster 🤬 I will never spend a penny in this place and will never come back for spa treatment even if the paid me a place that don’t like animals the don’t like people as well just the money your going to spend there 🤬🤬🤬🤬

Everything is ok but the seeming pool is not warm enough

A beautiful beach that is near two great taverns, has a bar, and has an organized stone staircase to go down to the beach. It’s not hard to access, but it has limited parking spots. BUT CAREFUL. You need to check the weather very well before you come here. It can have a strong wave and could cause danger to some weak swimmers. Come here on calmer, less windy days for the best enjoyment.

Amazing and beautiful beach! The water has an gorgeous color. Make sure to swim to the sides of the beach, and bring a floating mattress and a pair of goggles. Be aware that renting beach equipment such as a parasol and beds are pretty expensive.

One of the most beautiful beaches we've been to. The descent to the beach is also very special and beautiful. There is an opening in the stone that actually creates a separation between two beaches - one is smaller and more intimate but quickly fills up with people as time goes by. We arrived around 10:00 and it wasn't busy yet. The parking lot was full. The beach fills up quickly and when we left, around 1:00 PM, the parking lot and the beach were already full. The cost of renting an umbrella and two beach chairs is 30 euros. Worth the investment.

I recently visited this stunning beach beneath Pelion mountain, and it was an absolute paradise! The water is crystal clear, sparkling under the sun, and perfect for swimming or just wading in its refreshing embrace. The surrounding scenery is breathtaking—lush greenery meets nice , golden sand, creating a picture-perfect backdrop that feels like a postcard come to life. What truly sets this place apart is the vibrant, positive vibe; everyone, from locals to visitors, radiates joy and relaxation, making it an ideal spot to unwind and soak in the beauty. Whether you're looking to swim, sunbathe, or simply enjoy the serene atmosphere, this beach is a must-visit gem!

Good road, enough parking, restaurants close by, shadow from the rocks and clear blue water. Perfect!

Beautiful beach Parking gets busy so it is better to arrive early (before 10)

Fantastic beach with crystal clear water. The beach is made of small and large stones, it is not easy to place an umbrella. The beach consists of two parts that are connected by an opening in the rock, and those who do not want to go through the rock can also go through the shallows. In the long part of the beach there are several openings in the rock that look like entrances to caves. The sea here is fun for snorkeling because there are a lot of underwater rocks. There is a free parking lot above the beach, which is partly in the shade. There are steep steps and a steep and slippery path leading from the parking lot to the beach, so be careful. There is a restaurant in the parking lot with a great terrace and a divine view. There is a beach bar on the stairs with a fantastic view. On the beach itself, there is a bar that rents sunbeds at a price of €20 per set, which is too expensive. There is a shower and a changing room.

The Archaeological Museum of Volos pleasantly surprised us. It offers a fascinating collection of tools, jewelry, and everyday objects, dating back as far as 5000 BC. It was truly exciting to see in real life what I used to read about in school textbooks. All the information is provided in both Greek and English, which makes the experience accessible and engaging. We arrived on a Saturday around 11 a.m. and were the only visitors for a while, which gave us the chance to explore everything at our own pace. After about 40 minutes, a school group arrived, which brought a different energy — it was nice to see kids learning about their history. Highly recommended for a calm, meaningful visit!

Nice little museum a bit out of the city centre of Volos. They have three different exhibitions: one detailing the palaeolithic and neolithic findings from Thessaly, one detailing burial customs and steles from ancient Demetrias, and one detailing the history of Volos. They have most signs in English, at least the ones describing the artifacts, but the informational signs in the Volos exhibition are only in Greek. Overall, the museum can be visited in less than an hour, especially in the morning when there are fewer visitors.

Wasn’t expecting the extend of the exhibits. Great pottery collections. Need less than an hour. Building has been maintained inside and outside (garden needs some tlc), aircondition was working so was nice and cool inside. Paid EUR 10 entrance. Seems like entrance increased based on previous Google reviews.

Anyone who loves Greek history and has the opportunity to visit this place is a must visit. There is a lot to see about the history not only of this place but also of the whole of Greece. My recommendation for this historical museum.

Nice little museum. Entrance is 10€. Easy to visit in an hour if you have some time to spare in Volos. Pity that most of the larger informational signs are only in Greek.

I have very mixed feelings about this museum. On the one hand the exhibits are very good with interesting history and artifacts. There is a good amount of information available. It's a small museum but well put together. On the other hand, a lot of the information is only available in Greek. You can download a doc but it only gives an overview of the different exhibitions and a floor plan of the museum, nothing about individual objects. Having said that, I'm not sure that it's fair that non-Greek speakers must pay the same price or even more, and also at 10 Euro (29 Aug 2025), I feel they can really put in a little effort to also have everything in English too. There's supposedly some audio available that you can listen to for some things. But I asked the lady at reception and she said it's not working. Her English was very bad, so she might also have meant it's not available in English. So definitely make sure you take your phone with you and have an internet connection available so you can use Google Translate or a similar app to translate the various exhibit plaques.

The museum contains collections of Greek art. Neolithic objects, ceramics, jewelry etc...

Last stand, day 3 of the battle happened here. Persions killed the Spartans with arrow swarms when hand to hand could do it. Don't miss the burial mound by the thermal springs to the west

the hot spring was attractive. but there were many poor peoples around it.

A graphic neighborhood with nice vibes.

(Translated by Google) In a quiet location, well-kept exterior. Just one question, the old playground behind the church, why is someone, either the Municipality or the Metropolis, not interested in modernizing the space? It would definitely be more beautiful.

(Translated by Google) Church in the district of Ag. Forty. Satisfying for a few people. I don't like her singers at all. It is a nice place to go and pray.

Gerovassiliou Estate is a beautifully designed and thoughtfully developed vineyard. It’s clear that significant investment has gone into the place. The wines are high-end and truly do justice to the grapes. While I wouldn’t describe the hospitality as particularly warm, overall it was a solid and worthwhile experience.

An exceptionally beautiful and well-maintained estate! The winery impresses with its atmosphere, professionalism, and attention to detail. The wine tasting was a wonderful experience – the aromas and flavors are perfectly balanced and memorable. The museum with its unique corkscrew collection adds an original and interesting touch. The shop is also not to be missed – it offers a great variety of wines and special editions. We had the opportunity to purchase the exclusive museum series, which turned out to be truly exceptional. A remarkable experience that leaves a lasting impression. 🍷

Visiting Ktima Gerovassiliou was nothing short of extraordinary! Our experience began with a guided tour of the estate, learning about the intricate processes behind their exceptional white and red wines. The highlight of the tour was their unique wine museum, where a large variety of wine-related items is curated in the most tasteful way, with a special focus on an enormous and fascinating collection of corkscrews — each piece telling its own story. The estate is not just about wine but also a celebration of art. As an art collector, the owner has adorned the grounds with over 40 sculptures by talented Greek artists, adding to the estate’s charm and cultural richness. What truly stood out was the estate’s dedication to preserving ancient Greek grape varieties, their innovative work in creating sustainable wine production methods, and their proactive approach to tackling the challenges posed by climate change. The wine tasting was the cherry on top! We sampled five wines: White Wine 2024, Malagousia 2024, Xinomavro Rosé 2024, a Red Avaton 2022, and a magical Malagousia 2022 dessert wine made from overripe grapes — all paired with delightful Greek raw foods. Every sip was a revelation, each wine more unbelievable than the last. I even joked with my friends that if this estate were a church, I’d convert immediately! The passion, expertise, and hospitality at Gerovassiliou Estate make it a must-visit for any wine and art enthusiast. If you’re in the area, don’t miss the chance to experience this treasure. They are also open for group visits and educational programs (by reservation only). 🍷 Highly recommended visit this wine and art paradise! #googlelocalguides #LocalGuides #gerovassiliou #winelover #winetasting #wines #artlover #agriculture

A wonderful tourist destination, a great bar with wine tasting and cheese and meat delicacies. The staff is very smiling and kind, I even had a mistake on the bill that I hadn't noticed, but the people pointed it out to me and fixed it, which is worthy of applause. I would definitely visit again.

A unique wine experience in Epanomi, pure delight! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A beautiful location for a winery in Epanomi, just outside Thessaloniki. The Gerovassiliou Winery is perfectly situated, easy to reach by car, and offers plenty of parking. The vast vineyards, with many different grape varieties, are truly impressive, the foundation of the wonderful wines of Evangelos Gerovassiliou. The estate also features a fascinating museum, showcasing the full history of Gerovassiliou and its winemaking tradition. This adds an extra cultural and educational dimension to the visit. We visited on the recommendation of a friend and it was absolutely worth it! Our tour was led by Thrassos, who guided us with great knowledge and passion through the vineyards, the production process and finally to the tasting. We had the chance to taste five different wines, each one delicious and unique in character. To round off the experience we received a recommendation for dinner at Ouzeri Agkyrovoli, which turned out to be excellent! We brought along three bottles of white wine that paired wonderfully with the fresh fish. An outstanding winery and an absolute must for every wine lover, highly recommended!! Best regards from Frankfurt <3

Top wines and the food to pair wines with is also amazing. Go for a tour and taste as many wines as possible. Its a winery with a history and soul.

Already couple of visits here at Gerouvassilou winery since 2020 when we discovered the wines and location and had the first Malagousia . Excellent atmosphere with good choices of wine tasing tasting , selected food dishes for pairing and choice of visiting the location , museum, around .

Interesting place to visit and to see a part of Greek history and culture. We were disappointed that the tower is closed and cannot be accessed. Also, everything is located outside and since it was raining, the visit was not ideal.

Nice castle on the outside. And also nice views on the sea. However, its interior is quite poor and of low interest. The entrance fee is 10 euros which is definitely not worth it unfortunately. It should be maximum 5 euros. Also a coffee shop with tables viewing the brilliant sea would be a good idea.

Wonderful piece of history to walk around. Has a museum that has historical objects. I personally enjoyed looking at the weight and measuring devices they used in that era. Did not like that they did not have free public restrooms inside the exhibit .

Not much but a few ruins was saved, but the view from the ancient walls is stunning. The staff is very friendly and kind. Too bad there's no possibility to climb up on the donjon.

If you are nearby, this castle is definitely worth seeing. It's a bit steeper when you climb up, but at the top you have a beautiful view of the surroundings, in addition to the historical landmark. The walls are well preserved and when you are there you feel as if you are in another time.

A beautiful and quite intact castle from the period when the Latin Empire had occupied these parts of Greece. The crusader castle was built in the period between 1204 and 1222 and it was used to control the roads connecting Macedonia and Thessaly.

The view from the castle to the sea and mount Olympos is amazing. The ticket is a bit expensive compared to the “experience”. The castle should be better maintained and the tower should be opened for visitors, than it would be 5 starts. It is worth visiting.

On the one hand, you must go here when visiting Thessaloniki. It is the most famous landmark of the city and has a lot of history attached to it. On the other hand, it is rather expensive (at €8) for what is a relatively small (but interesting) museum. But I have to say that the views from the top are terrific. So Yes - go!

A wonderful place to visit! The White Tower is full of history and beautifully presented inside with clear displays and interactive exhibits. The climb to the top is easy, and the view over Thessaloniki and the sea is absolutely stunning. The staff were friendly and helpful. Definitely a must-see landmark when visiting the city!

Excellent attraction..6euro entry p.p. The walk up tonthe top with its several rooms and chambers along the way was really well worth it. You could easily spend 2 hours here going through the various write-ups & history. Some audio on English via your phone was available at key points. The views from the top are amazing. You see the length & breadth of the coast line and nearby hils. Apparantly you can see Mt. Olympus on a clear day...we were not so lucky.

This is a must when visiting Thessaloniki! The ticket is 6€ and children under 18 don't pay the ticket. This isn't just a place where you go for the view from the top (even though it's very beautiful), but it's also a museum. You have a couple of stops before you reach the top where you can learn more about the history lf Thessaloniki. You also get a free audio guide available in many languages free of charge! I couldn't recommend this place enough.

A lovely place to walk around and enjoy the sea breeze. The view from the top is stunning, especially at sunset. Definitely one of Thessaloniki’s highlights!

The White Tower of Thessaloniki is A MUST monument-museum-attraction to start, when visiting the city. Start with just inhaling and enjoyig from outside the spirit of the place.(White tower is a starting stop and for the Cultural line 50 - the local tourist live guided bus tour -2€ regular fee (https://www.oasth.gr/en/tourism/cultural-route). Entering inside the museum (6€ regular ticket) you can select from 13 languages in which to learn and understand better the history, culture, life, culinary, evolution of the city during your way up trough the seven levels to the top. The observation terrace is a perfect selfie's spot and also a greate way to orientate yourself in the next directions trough your journey felling in love with Thessaloniki... Enjoy!

A must place to visit if in town for the first time. The tower is multi leveled with each level having an exhibition of the city's history. It's not tiresome to climb as there are no steep steps and you have to stop to see the exhibits. At the top one can enjoy the excellent view of the city and the bay. There is also a museum shop that was not operating on the day we visited.

This is the main church in Thessaloniki, where Saint Demetrius is buried. The architecture is excellent, and the temple is beautifully and richly decorated inside as well. There is no entrance fee. There is a souvenir shop inside and outside. There are often tourist tours.

One of the most important churches in Thessaloniki, dedicated to the city’s patron saint. The interior is beautiful, with impressive mosaics and a crypt that holds deep historical and spiritual significance. Entrance is free, and it’s a must-visit for anyone exploring the city

We visited on 26 of October, even we came quite early it was overcrowded, not surprising since almost all Thessaloniki was there, including us came from abroad! We highly recommend to visit it, but please come on the service days earlier in order to find a place... I also recommend a small shop at the right corner of the church, it has much spiritual attributes, ikons, crosses, and even books! I found all the books of St Paisios only 15 Eur per one, so is the first place I recommend to visit in Thessaloniki! We definitely plan to come back again 🇨🇾🫶🏻

Don’t be afraid to put your trainers on and walk — Thessaloniki is full of beautiful churches, and the Holy Church of Saint Demetrius is definitely one not to miss! The architecture is stunning, and the atmosphere inside feels so peaceful and full of history. You can easily spend some time just admiring the mosaics and details. It’s also free to enter, which makes it even better! If you’re exploring Thessaloniki, make sure to add this to your walking route — it’s a lovely stop that gives you a real sense of the city’s culture and spirituality. Instagram mrsivyhyde

The Church of Saint Demetrius, or Hagios Demetrios is the main sanctuary dedicated to Saint Demetrius, the patron saint of Thessaloniki. Since 1988, it has been on the UNESCO World Heritage List as a part of the site Paleochristian and Byzantine monuments of Thessaloniki. The first church on the spot was constructed in the early 4th century AD, replacing a Roman bath. A Repeatedly gutted by fires, the church eventually was reconstructed as a five-aisled basilica in 629–634. This was the surviving form of the church much as it is today. The most important shrine in the city, it was probably larger than the local cathedral. Thessaloniki became part of the Ottoman Empire in 1430. About 60 years later, during the reign of Bayezid II, the church was converted into a mosque, known as the Kasımiye Camii after the local Ottoman mayor, Cezeri Kasım Pasha. The symbolic tomb however was kept open for Christian veneration. It functioned as a mosque (1493–1912). It was converted again to a church in 1912.

The main church in Thessaloniki. Free of charge. Photos and videos are allowed. Possible to take a guide tour. Highly recommend to visit their catacombs. Impressive

While the icons themselves are unique and moving, what is truly remarkable is the beautiful scent surrounding them, despite the absence of flowers. I wonder if someone could identify this unique fragrance? It’s a very welcoming space, so please feel free to stop by!

Τhis famous Aristotelous Square is a 20th century square in Thessaloniki, Greece designed by the French architect, Ernest Hébrard and built after the great fire of 1917. It is designed in an eclectic style which combines elements from both the Byzantine and Western architectures. This waterfront square is one of the prominent places in Greece, and forms an important part of life in Thessaloniki with some of the city's most beautiful buildings and sights. The central square serves the need for leisure and commerce with numerous choices of shops, cafes and stylish bars while at the same time offering wonderful sea views. The square is a must visit place for those who arrive in Thessaloniki, Greece.

It's a nice place to walk, especially when it's sunny. There are lots of delicious coffees and food options for breakfast. It looks nice at night as well, close to everything

Our hotel overlooks Aristotle Square, which is a huge public square lined by various restaurants; and which appears to be a major ‘go to’ place for locals and visitors alike. Very popular as the heat of the day dissipates.

A beautiful and lively spot in the heart of Thessaloniki! The square has lovely architecture, great cafés, and an amazing sea view. It’s perfect for a walk, coffee, or just relaxing and watching the city life. Especially nice in the evening when the lights come on. Definitely worth a visit!

Aristotle Square is a beautiful place. The crowd is quite crowded. It's close to the sea. It has its own flair. It is definitely worth a visit if you are in Thessaloniki.

Very nice place. Ideal place as meeting point. Lots of bars nearby. The view is amazing. A nice Plaza and seaside.

Beautiful place plus you got the Kapani Market and crazy amount of gift shops to buy cute gift for everyone back home. Kapani Market is closed on Sundays.

The tavern is traditionally cozy, and the food and service are excellent. The prices are reasonable and reflect the quality of the overall experience. The setting in the old town and the surrounding buzz create a typically Greek atmosphere that you will enjoy. I recommend the place and am glad we stopped by for lunch.

Everything is very nice and delicious. I have been coming to Thessaloniki for 3 years and I have been stopping by here for 3 years. The service and the quality of the employees are very good. Especially Niko, he was helpful in every way. I recommend you to follow Niko's suggestions. He has been very interested in us for 2 years. Definitely come here.

Nothing special. I expected something more impressive, but it turned out to be completely average. Lacks character, lacks feeling, and there’s nothing that would make me want to come back. I wouldn’t recommend it if you’re looking for something unique.

The food was delicious and the staff were very kind and attentive. I especially recommend the Marathos salad, which was very fresh, and the melted feta, which was the best I’ve ever had. At the end, we had complimentary ice cream. Will come back for sure!

A lovely Greek restaurant in the heart of Ladadika. It was a pleasure and I felt invited. They offered delicious meze and really tasty wine. Furthermore I enjoyed the hectic but lovely district and the area around the restaurant. A must go!

Top food and service..amazing Greek Salad, Fried Zuchini and superb Mussels in sauce...and a fantastic local Ouzo.... big portions best to share like we did.

Food was super delicious. Calamari and sea food and the mezes are all fresh and natural öade with love. Nikos is the best. This is our second night w my family

I am glad that I came here by walking from Litochoro for 2 hours. I didn’t take the big bus tours from Thessaloniki or Katerini, saving much money, & I am free to stroll leisurely on the lush green meadows for 2 hours. It is a good place to relax & to enjoy the charming scenery. most magnificencia is the Hellenistic theater.

Great place to visit! Within the site you can see an incredible amount of sanctuaries and remains of the old city! Take yourself round two hours to see the whole site! I agree with the lack of quality concerning the signs, that’s why I deducted one star!

Sadly, the trip here was really not worth it. The site is not well maintained, clearly there are many renovations taking place since there were tapes, tarps, fences and trucks/industrial vehicles around many of the sites, which of course we were not informed of. Some areas are very overgrown and unsafe (we came across snakes), poorly marked, no clear trails to follow and signposts with no signs in them explaining what you're looking at. The signs that are present mostly have illustrations or photos of the ruins as we can see in front of us already, as opposed to graphics showcasing what the buildings once were. It leaves a lot to the imagination and if I could give you any advice it would be to go to the museum instead, as the ticket price is actually worth it there. I can see some beautiful photos in older reviews and regret we could not see the same.

Really interesting site that would greatly benefit from more description as you walk around. Very hot bring lots of water.

It is a really fascinating place, you feel like you’re walking through history… but for 10 Euros a ticket they really could print some new info posters. One A1 poster costs less than 10 Euros.

Impressive. The bathrooms are still so beautifull, my favorites. A pity we did not find the palace of Zeus. :-)

Huge ancient town and cult religious center. Authentic Roman mosaic can be seen at open air.

One of the most beautiful lakes in Greece. Good for bird watching, as many spieces of birds both rare and protected exist in the area. Also fish variety, beautiful forests and mountains around the lake. Boat tours are available. Local people are producing many traditional products (i.e. steaks, sausages, milk, sweets) from Buffalos which exist in the area. Good accommodation options at the nearby villages (i.e.Kerkini village).

Except nature which is beautiful, everything else looks straight out of a 3rd world country. Abandoned buildings, broken benches, poverty and a general feeling of misery. Local government looks non-existent which is normal since we’re talking about Greece.

Lots of birds a natural habitat.

Amazing place with tremendous flora and fauna. I believe there's no entrance fee as it's an open park. You can take a boat ride that will take you to a spot with most wild birds, it costs around 8 EUR per person. The place is great to visit each season. In the winter it will be full of pink flamingos and pelicans as they stay there for the cold months. In the summer there will be a much greater variety. When the waters go down, you'll be able to see the cattle. Make sure to take the camera!

Having read all of the following comments and having visited this area several times I have to say that "Despite the abandonment", which unfortunately prevails by the competent people the place is worthy of admiration !!! Why..? 1) One of the largest and most important wetlands in Greece. 2) More than 250 species of birds and not only. 3) Surrounded by 4 terms: Beles, Krussia, Hook & Mavrovouni. 4) There are over 10 activities that you can enjoy small adults, some of which are: boating on the lake, hiking, hiking. 5) Located near the town of Serres and the town of Sidirokastro. For a daily or even better two-day excursion, I would also recommend to visit: 1) Rupela Fort 2) Monastery of Agios Prodromos (Serres because there are 2 in the area) 3) Serres Town, valley & Acropolis 4) Loutra Sidirokastrou 5) In conclusion: May (We) be useless and we can not create and sustain anything, but it seems, however, that Nature itself is a struggle for survival.

I went here in the autumn, it's not the best experience I have ever had, but for a chill weekend with your family this is for sure a good place, you can have a boat trip, horse riding, etc...

Special place, quiet and pleasant. There is really nice ice cream 🍦 great nature. It is our responsibility to keep the place clean!

Beautiful part of Greece that is not overly touristy, except in summer where it's a popular hiking spot. But this is "good" tourism in my opinion. Will go back when I can

It took us 2 days 1 night. We started off from gortsia. It was a crazy experience hiking Mount Olympus. The last bit of hiking is the hardest bit. We didn’t have helmets or ropes lol but you’re probably safer to get them, unless you’re fit and not scared of hights. Views up here was crazy and if you are a hiker you should definitely climb Mount Olympus!!

The tallest mountain in Greece. Well worth a visit if you’re in the local area.

Breathtaking!!!! Mystical place, wonderful nature Take a swim near the waterfall and soak in the beautiful surroundings A religious experience.

Went there to look for Zeus. Unfortunately couldn't reach the top so cannot confirm or deny he lives there. But he probably does if given the choice. Pure Greek natural beauty all around.

Yes, I'm reviewing a mountain. Not my first mountain either, although I haven't reviewed Kilimanjaro yet. Ok, it's a an actual mountain, summit above the tree line, though only 2918 meters (9.578 ft), no snow up there but plenty of wind and temps are way lower than at the bottom. It's about 25,000 steps to the top, almost all of them ascending, of course, over often technical rock and rooty trails. I suppose it could be done in a day, up and down, doubling the steps. but not by me. I'm 76 and two days were definitely necessary. There's a hut not far from the summit, very basic, with: • surprisingly good fresh food throughout the day and evening, staring with coffee at 6:30 am (and not a moment before) • yes they take cards, tho I was told sometimes the payment terrminals or internet connection don't work, so bring at least 25 Euro as backup • unheated rooms containing 8-12 cots, where you could end up trying to sleep next to someone snoring like a 500 lb boor, as I did. Not pleasant. Bring ear plugs.

Nice experience. Easy to climb

My wife and I visited a few different museums while we were on vacation last Sept-Oct in Greece, with this one in Pella being the standout. Unbelievable interesting history, classical artefacts, beautiful historical building, and heaps of information about Pella and of course King Philip and his son Alexander the Great. As a Greek Australian this was an experience I'll never forget as I studied 'Hellenic history' at Greek School over 5 years and to now physically visit and see it with my own eyes was something else. We arrived by car from Thessaloniki mid morning with plenty of parking available. A must if your ever in Nth Greece / Thessaloniki. Highly recommended to everyone.

A modern building housing and presenting in a well planned way a stunning collection ranging from unique mosaics, over exquisite statuettes, to intricate gold jewelry and masks. You won't find impressive marble statues here (beside two dazzling depictions of Alexander the Great), but there are dozens of works of art that could make any renaissance and baroque artist blush with modesty. You don't have to be an artist yourself to be swept away by the beauty of the artifacts.

Beautiful museum with so many interesting artifacts and knowledge of Pella. We stopped at the Pella site not knowing anything about it and then entered the museum and were blown away with all of the stuff found there and the history of the site. At first the site kind of underwhelmed us but then when we learned just how big it was and what all the areas were used for, it was just insane. The museum is laid out very well and looks clean and well kept. All the artifacts were in Greek and English which we appreciated. We spent between an hour or two at the museum and pretty much read it all. There is a small gift shop and eatery downstairs which was nice after being in the hot sun at the site. Running across this museum in Pella by chance was a great highlight of our trip and I would very much recommend visiting it and learning more about Pella.

Greece has been investing a lot of money in new, state of the art museums the last few years. This is one of them, and a definitely “don’t miss.” It holds many of the artifacts found during archaeological excavations in the nearby ruins of Pella, such an important historic site for Greece, and certainly for world history. I visited while on a day tour and really needed more time. There’s quite a bit to see, and some of the best is on the second floor. Make sure you don’t skip anything! Combining this with a visit to the ruins is a wonderful way to bring Pella to life.

An excellent new museum — a beautiful, well-designed building with interestingly presented exhibits and good lighting. The €10 entrance fee is well worth it. I don’t recommend going to see the archaeological site for another €10; it’s better to visit just the museum — that’s more than enough to learn about the history of the region and ancient Pella, and to see videos and photos from the excavations.

A large museum highlighting various finds from Pella. It included several beautiful mosaics, ceramics and jewllery.

The best museum in Greece. Amazing collection and highly educational experience. Highly recommend!

One of the best museums we ever visited! And we visited a lot! Presentation, location, historical significance, atmosphere! And artefacts!! Just WOW! The whole story... It's like it's all just a myth! But it's real!! And unfolding in front of your eyes - in such a unbelievable beauty, preserved like it's untouched... One of these things needed to be seen to be believed - and when you see it, it's almost unbelievable :D

I visited the site of the Royal Tombs of Aigai in Vergina and the nearby museum, which is located about one kilometer away: I started from the underground complex, where I spent an hour and a half among burial chambers adorned with frescoes and grave goods such as jewelry, ceremonial weapons, and pottery, which showcase the craftsmanship and religiosity of the Macedonians in conceiving the passage to the afterlife and a short introductory video that contextualizes the archaeological discoveries. Afterwards, I reached the separate Museum, dedicating about an hour to its exploration: the spaces are organized with essential captions and 3D reconstructions. For Italians over 18, the ticket costs 20 euros per person, while those under eighteen enter for free; the price may seem high, but it includes access to all rooms and enriches the visit with multimedia insights. Also included in the price is a museum detached from the tomb structure, located roughly 1 km away. I appreciated the cleanliness and the calibrated lighting that highlights the details of the artifacts, even though at first it may seem a bit excessive (the rooms are completely dark except for the area where the artifacts are to be admired), without causing discomfort to the eyes, and the accessible path with multilingual panels (English, Greek). I recommend inquiring privately for a guide, if you want one, because the facility does not provide it. Overall, it is a vivid and engaging

Here is the magnificent tomb of Philip II as well as the famous golden urn and other valuable personal belongings of the great King of the Macedonians. The unique frescoes like the vivid representation of the Abduction of Persephone, reveal the achievements in the arts and painting during the years of reign of the glorious Macedonian Kingdom.

Stunning place, recreated in the same underground tomb where it was discovered. Extraordinary, detailed recreation of a myriad pieces found. Perhaps the best designed museum in Greece.

Must visit! This tomb left me speechless. The museum guide made the tour twice as interesting with his attitude to the history of this great ruler and all the details he mentioned to us in addition. Thank you!

A unique experience that not only showcases in a mystic way masterpieces of ancient craft, but also takes you in a detailed journey through the burial rights of ancient Macedonians. And let’s not forget that this is the place where one of the most significant figures of the ancient world was buried and everything is connected to Alexander the Great! Definitely a must see and should be combined with the royal palace and the new museum.

Wonderful museum with incredible exhibits! The light work is fantastic and makes you see the exhibits in detail. The ticket costs 20 euros but you use the same for the Polycentric museum which is about 1 km away. It's worth a visit like nothing else!

Amazing waterfalls. The best sight in Greece. They view is breathtaking especially when you are aunder the waterfall. There is a path which takes you further down to the path of the waterfall. There is no ticket so it's free to see such an amazing gem of nature. There are plenty of coffee shops around to enjoy a coffee or eat something after your trip. Definitely don't miss

Imagine impressive waterfalls, with the dominant one being "Karanos," cascading powerfully right into the heart of the city! The waterfalls of Edessa create a unique, lush green park full of small bridges and paths. Don't miss the chance to walk behind the water curtain of the great waterfall for an unforgettable experience.

The waterfalls themselves are spectacular as is the cave behind the fall and are worth going out of your way to see. However the infrastructure around them has begun to deteriorate. Edessa itself is also worth the visit the rivers running to the falls run through the town. 🤩

A beautiful tall waterfalls inside Edessa City. Overlooking the view of the villages around. You can find it easily inside the katarraktes park. Just be ready to go down some stairs to see it from down, there’s a cave you can explore and if you go more further down the stairs/path you can see small magical lake. Markings can be found if you want to explore its surrounding. <3

As a teenager I used to come here from FLORINA an hr away on my motorcycle with friends for a frappe.. it’s such a beautiful city and a must see at the waterfalls 🇬🇷🇦🇺🫶🏽

We vizited just part of the waterfalls, as everything else there was closed at 16:30 , no aquarium or other places or activities there, some of the places looked closed long time ago, full with dust and spiders. Beautiful place, unfortunately not well entertained.

I would recommend the waterfalls for a short 1-2 hour visit. The cave behind the waterfall is also a muat see. You can also pay to see a couple of other museums and a herpetarium, but it's optional.

Beautiful views, variety of water areas to enjoy, including a standard swimming pool. The nature surrounding it was stunning as well. However, the bat caves I went there for were completely blocked off, so we couldn't even get close. People were smoking everywhere, and the 'restaurant' only stocks a few (very dry) snacks and coffees or fruit teas.

The pool was magnificent and the water wonderful!!! The €3 entry fee allows you 30min in the pool, but nobody chases you out!! The entry fee includes a locker for your personal items. The only negative is that the big outdoor pool is currently closed for maintenance, as well as the dressing rooms were dark and the doors couldn’t lock. There are also lots of run down buildings around. They are currently building a new entrance area, do hopefully all these issues will be addressed with time.

A great place to relax after a long journey. Well organized, there are changing rooms and lockers, the water is pleasant, the prices are more than reasonable. Count on 2 hours (3 pools for 30 minutes plus a walk around the territory)

💧💧💧💧💧 Absolutely worth the visit! The setting is incredible—lush trees, running waterfalls, and soothing hot spring waters surrounded by nature. It’s peaceful and refreshing, perfect for a relaxing break. A few tips: Go early to avoid the crowds and get the best spots. Bring flip-flops or water shoes—the rocky ground can be tough on your feet. A towel and change of clothes are a must. There are lots of older visitors, which adds a nice calm vibe overall... but some people really need to learn to keep their voices down! The baths are meant for relaxation, not loud chats. 😅 All in all, a beautiful experience in a magical location. Highly recommend taking a few hours to unwind here.

Great place to relax for a day. Unfortunately, the big pool was not open as was under renovation, and there was no place to grab something to eat or drink, maybe also because renovation.

This place is simply amazing. Set up in a wooded mountainside, Pozar Thermal Baths offers one of the most relaxing experiences I have had in many a year. Although we did not use the indoor pool facilities - that look fantastic btw - we did use the outdoor pools. There are 2 hot spring pools with waterfalls and a large swimming pool. We bought a ticket to use all 3 - which cost €7pp for 30 mins in each pool - but ended up using all our “credit” in the hot pools … SO RELAXING! The waterfalls in the pools are super strong and - when stood beneath them - give an excellent massage to those tight neck and back muscles. Other than the pools, there is of course the natural waterfalls and shallow(ish), flowing rivers beneath, that are the clearest waters I have ever seen. Plus, because of the position of the sun, naturally warm rock pools form, which you can sit in, close your eyes and just let your cares ebb away. There is a small cafe on site that offers sandwiches, pastries and hot/cold drinks, all of which are reasonably priced. There is also a souvenir shop, an olive oil and wine seller and a restaurant by the lower car parking area. There is plenty of parking too. Of course, you are not restricted to just using the pools as there is some beautiful scenery to be explored with good pathways towards the top of the waterfalls. For those seeking to de-stress or just enjoy the power of nature, I would highly recommend visiting Pozar Thermal Baths. Our only regret is that we didn’t book a hotel in the area to stay longer than one day. Overall, an experience not to be missed.

Very affordable, refreshing and relaxing outdoor hot spring and cold bath, just right beside each other. The view and vibe was perfect in the morning. Very relaxing. Streams of water flows from the river, and water is clean and clear. We came early at 7am with no queue and buying the ticket (€3) was easy, it also comes with locker. Totally recommend!

Try to get a simple white rum and Coke on the hotel terrace. Nearly impossible. No cocktails on the list but based on the rum order I wouldn't dare to order one here.

Excellent location at the Stone Bridge with a great view of the statues and fountains. Whilst dining or drinking here you can see the Warrior Statue, the Millennium Cross and the Kale Fortress. On a warm summer’s evening there is a lovely breeze. Afterwards you are less than 2 minutes walk to the Skopje Old Town Bazaar. My chicken meal with broccoli, carrots & potato was lovely.

Excellent hotel. Great location, amaizing breakfast. Very clean and comfort bed.

Great location, close to the main objectives in the city. Clean and well maintained rooms, friendly staff. Great experience overall.

In the center of the Capital Skopje at the stone bridge with a beautiful view of the Vardar River and Macedonia Square.

The stuff was friendly but that was it. The food was terrible and we waited too long.

Should just be a 3 stars hotel rather than a so-called 5 stars hotel! Everything seems old and out-dated. There was no air-conditioning in the room. The room was stuffy. I opened the window but it was very noisy owing to people activity in the square outside. Some of the lamps in the room were not working. The shower room door was broken. There was no electric kettle and coffee or tea in the room. The room was small and there was not enough room to open my 2 luggages and placed them flat on the floor without hindering the walk way in the room. The breakfast is just so-so. Except the good location, I would not recommend this hotel.

The Old Bazaar in Skopje Old Town is a place that could be a charming dive into the city’s Ottoman past, but it ends up being an overwhelming and uncomfortable experience. The architecture is undeniably interesting, with its narrow cobblestone streets, old stone buildings, and remnants of a bygone era that give it a certain historical allure. The preserved shops, caravanserais, and traditional facades offer a glimpse into Skopje’s past, and for history buffs, this could be a highlight. However, the atmosphere is marred by issues that make it hard to enjoy. The area is overcrowded with gypsies, some of whom engage in persistent begging that feels intrusive and, at times, intimidating. This detracts significantly from the experience, turning a leisurely walk into a stressful navigation through constant solicitations. Additionally, the strong presence of Muslim culture, including frequent calls to prayer echoing from what feels like countless mosques, can be jarring for visitors not accustomed to it. While this is part of the area’s cultural fabric, the sheer volume and intensity can feel overwhelming, especially when combined with the chaotic crowds. The bazaar’s authenticity is a double-edged sword—it’s vibrant and bustling, but the lack of order and the aggressive street interactions make it feel less like a cultural gem and more like a disorganized mess. The absence of visible efforts to manage the crowds or maintain a welcoming environment for tourists only adds to the frustration. For every moment of architectural charm, there’s an equal dose of discomfort that makes the visit feel like a chore. In short, the Old Bazaar has the potential to be a fascinating stop in Skopje, but the intrusive begging and relentless noise from nearby mosques make it far less appealing. It’s a shame, as the historical elements deserve better presentation.

The Old Bazaar in Skopje was an unforgettable experience that truly captured the charm and spirit of the city. Walking through its narrow cobbled streets, I felt surrounded by history, with Ottoman-era architecture, old inns, and beautiful mosques creating a unique and timeless atmosphere. The blend of cultures and traditions gave the place a vibrant and authentic character. I loved browsing the small shops filled with traditional crafts, jewelry, and souvenirs, and the aroma of local food and coffee made the visit even more delightful. The lively yet welcoming atmosphere made it easy to spend hours exploring. The Old Bazaar was a perfect mix of history, culture, and everyday life—a highlight of my trip to Skopje.

historic marketplace that has been a hub of trade and culture since the Ottoman period. Lined with mosques, hammams, and artisan shops, it blends Eastern and Western influences, offering a vibrant glimpse into the city’s multicultural past and living traditions. Enjoy walking and around but be aware - on Sunday only few shops and restaurants are open, most of the shops are closed.

Visiting this place is like taking a trip back in time. It is one of the largest and oldest bazaars in the Balkans, dating back to the 12th century. The narrow cobblestone streets are filled with Ottoman-era architecture. The atmosphere is vibrant, full of craft shops, jewelers, cafes and restaurants. I found it great for a stroll, buying simple souvenirs and soaking up a genuine atmosphere.

A very interesting place, calm and vibrant in the same time. Worth to give it some time, both during daytime and in the evening, not only for shopping or having a beer or a coffee, but for a slow walk, to enjoy its history and spirit.

Charming bazar with great food, but watch the weather Visited on 26 October 2025 and spent about 2 hours exploring and trying food. The Old Bazar is a cute, small, historic area full of character, with lots of different things to try — perfect for wandering, taking in the architecture, and sampling local treats. We especially enjoyed some lokma at Lokmades Skopje, which was absolutely delicious! It was a bit rainy during our visit, and some roads had standing water due to poor drainage, so I’d suggest visiting on sunny days for a more comfortable experience. Overall, a must-visit spot for those wanting a taste of traditional Skopje and local flavors. ✅ Recommended.

The Old Bazaar in Shkup is simply phenomenal. The variety of shops, traditional craftsmen, and inviting restaurants is truly impressive. Walking through its narrow streets feels like stepping back in time, as if the modern world briefly fades away. This place isn’t just historically significant — it also carries the unmistakable cultural heritage of the Albanian people. A visit is always worth it.

I don't usually enjoy any destination with throngs of people, but this was well worth while. The canyon is quite beautiful, and we enjoyed the boat ride to the cave. While I recommend the boat ride, there is also a (free) walkway along the side of the canyon that was surprisingly empty, but which does not permit access to the cave. Tip: I originally considered hiring a cab to do this, but am very glad I saw the canyon as part of the Canyon Matka Tour. The tour was an excellent; well organized and reasonably priced, and driving and parking looked like such a nightmare that I doubt a cab would have taken me anywhere near the entrance.

Rarely does a big city have a place so close for kayaking on fast waters, but also for relaxed paddling, motorboat rides and enjoying the natural beauty of the canyon. Or just come here and enjoy the view with a coffee.

Lake Matka is an artificial lake created by construction of dam in North Macedonia. It's a popular outdoor destinations that exists within the beautiful Matka Canyon. There is a walking trail around the lake, which is very scenic. We took a boat ride in the lake which was very enjoyable.

We visited the lovely Matka canyon/dam/lake via a road trop to Ohrid and Tirana, we must say arriving early (on a weekday) has its advantages there was no crowds, for an hour we had the place to ourselves. It was so peaceful and tranquil, with amazing views, many piccies to be had, definitely worth a visit, as a day trip or on the way, to Ohrid.

Nice place for a weekend. Kayak rental, restaurant, parking. And the main thing here is gorgeous scenery and nature. There is everything you need to have a great time. Not far from Skopje. It is better to come by car.

A very nice place where to escape from that heat in Skopje. The distance is not far and the place is nice. On the way, there are many local stores, restaurants, and vendors that are offering some fresh juices or food. The boat ride is worthy trying as well. Thank you🤩

I was in there 19th of December around at 16:00 o’clock during the winter time it was almost empty and little bit scary for me because l was alone and the weather is getting darker. End of the stairs there is a small restaurant which has a lake view and good spot for photos. Price is little bit higher comparing the other restaurants.

An interesting place for an ancient cultural way of life, it takes less than 15 minutes to see everything. It is worth visiting if you have time, otherwise if you couldn't visit it nothing to regret.

Free entrance but still very interesting place. The curator is professional and kind. Explained well about the overall history there. Max. 15 min taking course. I recommend!

I was recently in this museum and it was a really great and nice experience, thanks for showing us and explaining us everything, really cool visit, worth visiting this museum!!

Currently only one of the buildings is open - the rest are still being restored - but I enjoyed the visit! The curator is extremely informative, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about the restoration project and led our tour of the house in extremely clear English. Its a short visit for sure, but enjoyable.

We got there like 5 minutes before it close and a big thank you to the guide for letting us in and showing around and telling us all about the museum's history

It's a very tiny museum with only one small building showing the historical living conditions. But it's free entrance and free restroom 😂

If you want to travel back on time in history, you must visit this amzing museum in downtown prishtinë A place containing all the monuments of the civilization traditional house of the Ottoman era, containing the collections of the civilization. Of held tradition dress women of the time an extraordinary weaving work A landmark to find the museum it is opposite the museum hotel.

Visited here on 3rd Sept 2025. Stunning views from the castle. But its a steep climb to it with cobbled streets so good shoes needed. Certainly worth it though if you can make it. Plenty of local shops selling goods. Bought my wife a lovely silver ring for 18 euros. Had a nice beer and coffee at a local restaurant and stayed longer than anticipated due to very heavy rain. Check weather forecasts before you go. We were independant but tours still going ahead! Overall well worth a visit. Friendly pwople and no pushy sales stuff either.

This castle was actually rebuilt fairly recently but it still has many walls from its early days including the ruins of s mosque and a chapel within its walls. The castle is the original home of the greatest hero of Albania who after being taken hostage by the Ottomans on the early 1500s was raised by them and ended up becoming one of their greatest generals, however during a major battle against the Hungarians, he traded sides and ended up organizing all the Balkan’s to fight the ottomans, He fought them for 25 years before dying of Malaria. This castle is his historic home and contains a newly built museum telling his story. There are also spectacular views of Albania and the Adriatic Sea from the castle ramparts. Along the streets to the castle are the oldest continuous street bazaar in Albania. It’s worth going but both the streets to the castle and with the grounds are cobblestones that have been worn smooth by visitors over the millennia so walking shoes are critical and some of the path to the castle is steep so be extremely careful and not for those with walking issues at all!!!

Nice historic ruine with the most beautiful "bazaar" streets under the castle. I don't understand, why in the middle of castle ruin is built the stone building (the imitation of a middleage castle) = the Skanderberg museum.

Nice, free castle above the Bazaar. Not a lot remains, and the tower is stabilized following earthquake damage (2019?). There is a nice museum inside covering Albania's national hero, Scanderbeg.

Kruja takes you back in time as you walk through the slippery pebbly roads. So I recommend you wear good grip shoes. At the top entrance is a restaurant with local food restaurant to the left that includes the local traditional dancing and colourful costumes. The local artisans are proudly making and selling the wool felt shoes and local hats. There is an abundance of small shops to explore with colourful souvenirs.as you walk towards the castle which is very educational and equipped with amazing art works and very old artifacts tools,weapons,materials, furniture and books.

Loved it. Approximately 1 hour drive from Tirana. There are few private lands available for parking. Parking costs 300L for the whole day. Castle is awesome. Museum costs around 400L for an adult. Not that great but would recommend if you want to learn about history of Albania and the balcony view is excellent. There are couple of restaurants with the view. Coffee, beer and salads are good. Adjacent to the castle is the Old Bazaar. Colourful and vibrant with large pebble roads. Common things are sensibly priced. There is a high street at the end of Old Bazaar with few eat ins and they got excellent view. We enjoyed our dinner with the sunset - lifetime experience

We did not go inside but just walking around this area is beautiful. You can see the Adriatic Sea, the fields, Tirana City, etc. If weather permits, it would be nice to have a picnic up there.

A must-visit for history lovers The Kruja National Museum is a very informative and well-curated place to learn about the history of Albania. It offers a fascinating look into the nation's past, with valuable historical artifacts on display that bring the story to life. At just 500 Lek, the ticket is a bargain for the depth of knowledge and cultural insight you get. Well worth the experience — highly recommended if you're in Kruja!

It's worth going just for the drive since it is quite a treat to work it way up these windy streets! The castle and Museum at the top of the hill are lovely, well restored, with spectacular views. the small village adjoining it has plenty of restaurants and knick knack shops too.

Wow! The whole place is amazing, it's free to enter the grounds, with beautiful views of the countryside, you can even see the Adriatic! then it's 500 lek for admission to the museum which is well worth it. Load of interesting history of Skanderbeg, and a gorgeous roof terrace awaits on the 3rd floor.

Eventful. Historical museum with tons of artifacts. Not huge but small enough to visit and learn about Albania historical figure- Iskander/Skanderburg. Please thumbs up if you appreciate the information.

Contained within the castle the museum was opened in 1982. Kruja was chosen because it was the centre of Albanian resistance against the Ottomans. The museum displays are organised around a number of themes eg. Middle Ages, Resistance, Unification & Endurance. On the top floor you have access to the castle terrace which gives you good views of the town and surrounding countryside. Entry fee is 500 lek.

Paying with card wasnt possible unfortunately but online tickets are also possible. They speak good english and the museum is very informative and interesting.

An incredibly important museum. Not a lot of period artifacts unfortunately but a ton of history. Many of the items had English translations as well. The castle museum itself was built in the 1980s and is in excellent condition. Around it are archeological digs of structures and buildings from that period, including the footprint of the Skanderbeg church behind the castle. Because much of this museum was built during the communist period almost the entire Christian history surrounding Skanderbeg (Athleta Christi) has been omitted. Little more than some iconography by Onufri remains. “I fight not only for my people but for the Christian faith, standing as a shield against the infidel who seeks to devour our lands and our Lord’s Church.” -Skanderbeg

A beach like any other. The good thing about beaches in Montenegro is that you can go in with your dog — just like in normal European countries, such as those in Eastern Europe, where so-called Western European 'culture' thankfully hasn’t arrived yet.

Great place, soft sand, lots of bars near. The water was absolutely fantastic! 100% must go!

It's a passable beach. The water isn't very deep. The entire beach is divided into businesses and is very long. There are too many wasps. They bothered us a lot.

Velika plaža is a sandy beach in Ulcinj, Montenegro. The beach is located on the Adriatic coast, 5 km from the city. The length of the beach is 13 km, and the width is on average 60 m. Due to its size and fine sand, it is also called the "Ulcinj Copacabana" we didn't sit in cafes because the prices are too high, and there is enough space on the beach to put up an umbrella and enjoy the old way, the so-called tomato tourists, in the video below you can see what it looks like.

Dirty black sand. Bed costs 40€ in Mykonos beach.

A beautiful sand beach, the water is clean. Probably one of the best places in Montenegro. The beach is not the best for city people though, cause there isn't music playing around and there are 1-2 caffes. Amazing beach though!

The largest and cleanest beach i have seen across Montenegro. No trash floating in the water, large sandy area, plenty of space, not overcrowded. The water is shallow, and because of fine sand, very cloudy, not for snorkeling. As that is flat shore, no bay, there are waves almost all the time. In 5-7 pm there are huge traffic jams of people leaving the beach🚦, so try to leave earlier or stay later. Typically, if you come after 5 pm, nobody will charge you for sun beds.

If you're lucky, you get one of the rooms/studios advertised on booking sites. If you're not, you'll receive a room not worth the price. Yup to you if you wish to take that chance.

Good accomodation, nice people.

Super

Nice place

(Translated by Google) Beautifully furnished rooms in a maritime style. A fantastic view of the sea. The hotel, along with its restaurant, is run by a truly friendly and welcoming family. We felt welcome at all times, and our every wish was fulfilled. We would love to come back! We're already very excited about the new rooms, where the owner personally puts the finishing touches to ensure they meet his high standards. (Original) Sehr schön eingerichtete Zimmer im maritimen Stil. Super Blick aufs Meer. Das Haus wird zusammen mit dem dazugehörigen Lokal von einer wirklich netten und offenherzigen Familie geführt. Wir fühlten uns jederzeit willkommen und jeder unserer Wünsche wurde erfüllt. Wir kommen gerne wieder! Wir sind schon sehr auf die neuen Zimmer gespannt, bei denen der Chef persönlich letzte Hand anlegt, damit sie seinen hohen Ansprüchen genügen.

(Translated by Google) Tragedy. I am writing to warn you against wasting your holidays. We booked a total of 11 nights and after 2 nights, fortunately, we managed to say goodbye to this beautiful place, as some people describe. Instead of writing, I'm sending a few photos as a warning. Not to mention it's not all bad, the views are amazing. I reported the matter via booking where I booked the place because despite the omnipresent dirt, no one bothered to clean the wonderful shared kitchen for two days (it's a miracle with a washing machine), the TV didn't work, there were ants in the room. this green bottle is the set of cosmetics we had left after arriving. there was supposed to be a welcome drink, but maybe it's good that there wasn't, because I would have run away from there drunk. the room was not cleaned, we spent over 10€ on chemicals to clean the bathroom, there was a lot of black curly hair everywhere. despite this we were asked to pay 100% for 2 nights and 30% to cancel the remaining 9 days. Fortunately, we moved to Albania and the holiday was saved. After we complained, they wanted to give us rooms of a higher standard, but together with the whole family we decided to leave after 2 days. (Original) Tragedia . Pisze aby was przestrzec przed zmarnowaniem sobie wakacji. Zamówiliśmy w sumie 11 nocy i po 2 nocach całe szczęście udało nam się pożegnać z tym pięknym jak opisują niektórzy miejscem . Zamiast pisać przesylam kilka zdjęć dla przestrogi. żeby nie było całkiem źle to widoki są rewelacyjne. Sprawę zgłosiłem przez booking skąd rezerwowalem miejsce gdyż pomimo wszechobecnego brudu przez dwa dni nikt nie raczył posprzątać tej wspaniałej wspólnej kuchni ( to jest to cudo z pralką) tv nie działał, mrówki w pokoju. ta zieloną butla to zestaw kosmetyków jaki zostaliśmy po przybyciu. miał być drink powitalny ale może dobrze że nie było bo bym jeszcze po pijaku z stamtąd uciekł. pokój nie był posprzatany wydaliśmy ponad 10€ na środki chemiczne aby posprzątać w łazience wszędzie mnóstwo czarnych kręconych włosów. pomimo tego kazano nam zapłacić 100 % za 2 noclegi i 30 % za anulowanie pozostałych 9 dni. Całe szczęście przenieśliśmy się do Albanii i wakacje się udało uratować. Po tym jak zaprosiliśmy zgłoszeniem reklamacji chciano nam dac pokoje i wyższym standardzie ale wspólnie całą rodziną postanowiliśmy że wyjedziemy po 2 dniach.

(Translated by Google) Absolutely not suitable for older people or people with walking difficulties! Breakfast very poor out of season, room totally shabby. But guests were still trying hard, unfortunately a bit overwhelmed. No change of towels and no cleaning of the accommodation, no longer an insider tip, unfortunately.
