Cher –
Just some feedback. The Chalcedony hotel is too far from the shopping area and I am surprised to know that it's a 4 stars hotel. At most, 3. Also, it's next to a school. It's very noisy in the morning. Of course, traffic is bad before and after school.
Daniel –
Value for money! Amazing guide. We all had an amazing time together. One of the best holidays ever!
