Thessaloniki Science Center & Technology Museum

The hotel was very nice. I wouldn't necessarily call it a 4 star hotel but it was a solid 3! The staff very helpful and accomodating and the room was lovely. Only minor gripe was the outdated shower but it was functional and hot water was there within seconds so happy overall. The breakfast options were great but I would have appreciated dietary advice as I'm lactose intolerant on what has been cooked with milk or what contains milk. I stayed clear of all the different hams as some of them contain lactose, I had to go and ask the kitchen staff if sausages eggs etc were cooked in oil or butter. One would assume oil but someone with my condition cannot afford to assume. They did come back to me straight away though so that was great. The pool was good size and clean but the surrounding area of the pool lacked color.. it was very concrete-gray all around and could do maybe with the same color theme as the rest of the building complex. The aircon worked but even at full frost settings it wasn't that powerful and quite noisy as well but thankfully I sleep with earplugs. Again minor issues seems like a few things that are work in progress but overall it was a very good experience. It looked like a great hotel for families with small children with lots of facilities for them.

We had a wonderful weekend stay at Simantro half board. Easily accessible from Thessaloniki, beautiful authentic architecture and lush Green surroundings. Safe beach and stunning terrace looking over it. Very impressive buffet spread and super friendly staff. Had a massage at the spa from the lovely Georgia and bought souvenir gifts from the minimarket, made friends, relaxed and we even swam in the pool despite the cooler time of year. I would highly recommend.
