The Hotel
Crystal Beach in the quiet resort of Kalamki
is ideally situated for spotters. The brochure describes the
resort as one that can suffer from aircraft noise up to 10pm.
Aircraft normally call the tower frequency approximately 15
minutes before arrival and then route to overhead the airfield
before routing over the bay for landing on runway 34. This gives
ample opportunity to get off your sunbed and get into a position
to read the registration. The hotel is only 15m to the beach and
just 200m to the nearest restaurants and nightlife.
Location ** The resort is in a
great location.
Spotting ** Some investigation may
need to be done to establish the best views from this hotel.
Photos *** There is a good point
for photos at the holding point for runway 34 just 10-15 minutes
walk from the resort, where the sun is behind you until mid
afternoon. Remember you are in Greece so exercise caution.
Value ** A weeks bed and
breakfast starts at £289 in May rising to £509 in late July and
early August. This price includes return flights.
