Rodhes see

Kyotari rocks

 

 

Yesterday, I came back from my first holiday in a All inclusive resort in Rodhes, This is the first time that a travel with a full organized travel, I used “to organize” my holidays trip by myself. 

The reason of this change in the my travel way is my young child Edoardo, this is the first time that I leave my country with my baby, my wife and me were worried about that… as Edoardo is our first child we didn’t have any experience on travel with a very young baby (my child is only 20 month old).

Organize the holiday by ourself seems us too hazardous, so we decide to contact a travel agency to help us. In their catalogs there were several accommodations in Rhodes. We decide for an all Inclusive formula, the hotel that we chose is on the Kyotari beach in the south of the island.

I’m not a fan of this kind of structure, I always avoid to spend my holiday in this kind of place, but we decided to book the hotel thinking that for the child was a perfect solution.

It wasn’t the first time that I visit Greece, I always enjoyed the place and the beach that you can find the greek islands, it’s a beautiful country to visit, but in my opinion it’s better to stay away from the “All inclusive” formula.

The side effect of a full organized travel with an all inclusive formula is that the environment is “standard”, be or not in Greece, Italy, Egypt, Zanzibar or what else doesn’t matter, you will find the same. It’s very difficult have some interaction with the people of the place, and if you don’t forget for a while the comfort of  the resort, probably you will see a place as a “slide show” of postal cards. 

In conclusion this holiday confirmed my thoughts about tourist villages, and all inclusive formulas, in any case I spent a week in total relax enjoying the time with my son.

This is the first post… nothing to write but only to avoid the blank page on this blog…
