Crete, Mare Monte Beach Hotel 4 * - photos, prices and hotel reviews

Crete - the largest and, perhaps, the most interesting from the point of view of tourism of the islands of Greece. This is indicated by the millions of tourists who visit Crete every day. Attractiveness of the island is due to the possibility to combine beach tours with sightseeing tours. Rest on the island of Minotaur will appeal to fans of lazy pastime, as well as to curious tourists who travel from place to place to see more sights.

In the spring the city is buried in the bushes of blossoming 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 meet densely growing forests and gardens, flowering bushes and a lush carpet of greenery around the hotel complexes.

In the latter among the greenery of the gardens is the snow-white building of the Mare Monte Beach Hotel 4 *.

Garden City

By the way, in earlier times this settlement was called Almioupoli, in honor of the river Almyros flowing along it.

The holiday season in these places lasts from April to October. Particularly beautiful here, of course, at the beginning of the season, when the city stands all in bloom. Summer is sometimes very hot, and the thermometer's column reaches 40 degrees and more, well, the sea water because of the currents is not very warm, which helps to cool on especially hot days.
