Golden Beach 4 * (Greece / о.Крит) - photo, prices and reviews of tourists from Russia

To rest on a small island among the turquoise spaces of the sea or the ocean has always been considered romantic and attractive. And when it comes to the Greek islands, here begins a real flight of fantasy. After all, each of them is associated with some myth. For example, Cyprus is considered the birthplace of the goddess Aphrodite, and Crete is famous for its legend about the Minotaur, Knossos palace and labyrinth. Every year thousands of tourists from all over the world come here to rest on the wonderful beaches, swim in the azure waters of the Aegean Sea and plunge into the world of antiquity and legends.

Resort Chersonissos: recreation, hotels, prices

The island of Crete, despite being the largest of the Greek islands, is not so large that it can not be inspected for a couple of weeks. However, if you are most interested in places associated with the legend of the Minotaur, then you'd better settle near Knossos Palace. Closer to all is the village of Chersonissos. It is a beautiful resort with a well-developed tourist infrastructure. Right on the coast there are dozens of fashionable hotels, for example, Golden Beach 4 *, Arminda 4 *, Atlantica Sensatori 5 * and others. Due to the abundance of noisy entertainment, numerous discos and nightclubs, this village is especially attractive for young people: student companies, lovers couples, newlyweds. And this category of tourists, as you know, prefers to stay in inexpensive, so-called budget hotels.

The best hotel of this category in Crete is Golden Beach Hotel 4 *, in which there is an optimal combination of price and quality of services. In fact, island Greece in comparison with the mainland is considered more expensive. The same can be seen if you compare the prices of Greek and Turkish resorts of the Aegean Sea. So, for example, in the hotel with the same name on the coast of Turkey Golden Beach 4 * (Bodrum), you can relax for 46 thousand rubles (for two for 7 days), which is almost twice cheaper than the cost of a trip to Crete. Well, in the hotel of the same name on the island of Cyprus (by the way, these two hotels because of the similarity of names are often confused with each other), accommodation costs much more. So, in high season, a week tour for two in Atlantica Golden Beach 4 * (Paphos) will cost 100 thousand rubles, and it's not about the suite, but the usual standard room. This shows that the Greek islands have always been and remain popular as the best resorts for both beach and cognitive recreation. Here the sun shines almost 300 days a year, and the beach season lasts from April to the end of October, with the average air temperature in this period is +28 degrees, and the water + 25.
