“Posto in prima fila al mare”

Ha un posto in prima fila al mare. Le onde ti cullano nel sonno. Il posto era ben curato. Dipinti di fresco, i giardini erano ordinati, decorati con stile.

Ha un posto in prima fila al mare. Le onde ti cullano nel sonno. Il posto era ben curato. Dipinti di fresco, i giardini erano ordinati, decorati con stile. Ho trovato la camera molto confortevole, molto ben attrezzata. Aveva una cucina, un frigorifero, bicchieri, piatti, posate, macchine per il caffè, un forno a microonde. Tutta l'attrezzatura necessaria per cucinare per una famiglia al chiuso. Il letto era soffice. Un balcone perfetto con un tavolo, due sedie e un appendiabiti per asciugare i vestiti, così come una tonalità mobile. Si vedeva il mare sul lato destro. Tutto era pulitissimo. Avevano pulitori venire e prendersi cura della camera su base giornaliera. Tutto l'hotel era pulito. Abbiamo parlato con il proprietario e ha detto che questa era una delle sue priorità principali. Nel complesso, abbiamo avuto un grande momento. C'è così tanto da fare nella zona generale, così tante spiagge da visitare. Ci torneremo!

“Good, could be better”

We spent two weeks in a two-room apartment on the second floor. The balcony was big and had a view of the sea, the other side of the apartment faced the mountains.

We spent two weeks in a two-room apartment on the second floor. The balcony was big and had a view of the sea, the other side of the apartment faced the mountains. Rooms were a bit worn, but very clean. Cleaning was done every two days. The kitchen had two hot plates, a microwave oven, kettle, coffe brewer and some pots/pans. Not much, but since we only made simple breakfast and lunch it was enough. The bed was very comfortable, the sofa not as much. WiFi reception was strong, but connection was very slow. The toilet door would not remain closed, and there was no key to lock it. When told about this and shown, the hotel guy just laughed about it, so it remained like that for the duration of our stay. All windows and balcony doors had built-in mosquito nets, very convenient. The bedroom had an AC, which sometimes would not start when needed to. The doors had sensors so the AC would shut down when a door was opened, but even with the doors closed the AC did not work every time. We had a one year-old with us, and sent several mails before arriving, asking if a baby cot was available. Sadly, we got no response, so we brought our own with us. On arrival, the hotel staff said there were baby cots available, but it was a bit late. The staff, however, let us borrow a baby chair for feeding during our stay, very kind. The hotel pool was ok, we spent some time in the baby pool, but preferred the sea. In the basement was a recreational room, containing table tennis, a treadmill and a multi-gym machine. There is a hotel restaurant as well, which we never used. For those with cars, there were many parking lots with shade. The beach was just across the road, with free sunbeds to use by hotel guests. There was nothing breaking the waves, so they could be quite rough in the afternoon. The sand was littered with cigarette butts. Sea bottom consisted of big rocks a bit into the water, so bathing shoes are recommended! I hit my foot on an urchin, not so pleasant. Several restaurants were situated nearby, so we bought take away-dinners to eat in the apartment (Akrogiali was our favourite). Neighbourhood was calm, not much noise from traffic or other guests. There was a small and expensive supermarket a couple of minutes away, but we preferred a bigger one about 10 minutes of walking (go through the exit furthest away from the beach and follow the road left for 10 minutes until it reaches a busier road, the supermarket is on the left). There also was a bakery next to the small supermarket. If you like sending postcards: we had to buy them in Preveza, as there were none to be found in Kanali! We got stamps at the post office in Preveza, facing the harbor. Also, there are no postboxes in Kanali. After asking around, we found out there is a local post office near the church in Kanali village (see photo).
