Re: Sani Beach Hotel - 10 years ago
As with any 4/5 Star hotels drinks will be expensive especily if you have younger membersof you familay. It is a very exclusive resort and service is excerlant.Not sure about bus service maybe someone else on here can advise.Taxi will not be cheap and you are about 6 miles to nearest village so car hire would be your best bet to get around to visit othere resorts. Hope this is not to negative itby alanapp - Halkidiki
Re: Spa treatments near/ in Kriopigi - 10 years ago
Renaissance hotel in Hanioti (about 10kil. away) have a very good spa with many treatments Jacuzzi stone massages ect. Check out there wed site, but as you say these are not cheap.

Re: A Week in Kriopigi - Spending Money - 10 years ago
We buget about 100 Euros per day for two usually comes in under that about 500/600 for a week. Sometimes (well most times) we go crazy and spend a bit more, but a good starting point.by alanapp - Halkidiki

Re: HANIOTI / BELLA GRECIA HOTEL - 11 years ago
We are in Hanioti at the Reniassance, if you fancy Pefkohri try the anna maria hotel good price and last year they picked you up and took back to airport included in the price well worth looking at. If Manchester is a flight option easy jet do flights on Monday and Fridays best of luck we love Halkidiki .by alanapp - Halkidiki
Re: HANIOTI / BELLA GRECIA HOTEL - 11 years ago
I would say about 1mile to centre about 15 mins walk, Taxis ok when you can get one busy at weekends. You could try in the village possable a better option as you then can strole done at will. My view othere's my be better informed about distance, still a good place to holiday be there in June.by alanapp - Halkidiki

Jane you have got it spot on, we were out there in June ( back nxet week) tried on a buget of 100 euros a day just came inside that were lucky to be able to do that.We had all we wanted but any increece will be hard to take, that after 19 years since our first visit and only missed a couple of years. Sorry to hear about George, but once Mario and Laura left it was never quite the same to us.by alanapp - Halkidiki
