The arrow points to my balcony in the Pergola Hotel, from which the tiny beach in the foreground can be seen. |
My first impression of the Pergola Hotel is mixed: the room is tiny, but pretty, with a balcony looking out over the sea (and the sun panels and water tanks on the roofs in between). The reading lamps over the bed and desk don't work, but the bed is comfy with plenty of warm blankets. The shower is a bare trickle - no water pressure to speak of. For breakfast I was first served instant coffee, white toast with plastic cheese, plastic jam, and a hard boiled egg. But just as I was composing a less than complimentary report for Trip Advisor in my head, old Yiannis brought fresh pressed orange juice, a couple of greek pastries and a bowl of yogurt with honey. So all in all, a perfectly satisfactory breakfast, during which I studied a map of the town, discovering that the center was in the opposite direction from where I had wandered in the dark yesterday evening. So after breakfast I made my way down the stone steps and along the waters edge, listening to the waves breaking on the sea wall, past several beaches to the Marina, to the offices of Crete-Homes.
