De Oude Kerk, Amsterdam

Oudekerksplein 23, Amsterdam, Netherlands  Website
“Average”



I don't know... average, cold, plain, not-so-interesting temple without that little something to remember. I had to go through photographs I took there to recall. Be sure to visit because it is the oldest Amsterdam monument, but you will not remember it, trust me.




Tigaki beach, Kos

“Boring part of Kos”



One of numerous beaches on the northern side of Kos. Cultivated but crowded and touristy, with many restaurants and cafes in the back and kilometers of white sand. The sunbed and umbrella renters occupied every inch of it. To cut the long story short- boring, don't bother.



Al dente restaurant cafe, Kos

Leoforos B.Georgiou 46, Kos Town, Greece
“Lack of atmosphere”



Italian ristorante on the street that goes by the shore, in the vicinity of trendy hotels like Citi, Phillipeon and Akti. It has big (sort of) terrace, but for some reason it lacks atmosphere. Waiter seemed as interested as a random passenger, he didn't even notice the bottle and full ashtray of former guests (?).
Menu seemed pretty ambitious, however, I can not discuss food, since I didn't eat here. We had a glass of red wine and Sprite for 7,50 euros, had refreshment, but unfortunately, this won't be a place to remember.

Restoran "Milosev Konak", Belgrade

Rakovacki put bb, Belgrade, Serbia  Website

“Good idea but...”

National restaurant in Topcider park, placed in a building dated 1834. This was one of the legendary restaurants in Belgrade of the 70s and 80s. Lovely outdoor seating used to be full of people coming here with family for a "Lunch at Milosev konak". It used to be an institution.
Today, it seems like new owners brought bad ideas of hospitality: invest less, get more. Not really working. Service people without manners, high prices for what you get, poorly prepared food.
Congratulations, owners! You made a resto-legend into a middle-of-the-road-snack-stop.

Blue Bay Hotel & Spa, Netanya Israel

Nope, don't take it if you have other option.
Not that it is THAT bad as someone wrote on the tripadvisor earlier, but it just needs a total redo. Hotel (rooms and facilities) is totally outdated, and by that, I mean sometimes dangerously rusted. Besides, it is located a bit out of central area.
Can't remember clearly any hotel staff. Food (breakfast) was outrageous and suspicious. Just a small shop across the street and nothing else, so be prepared to bring decent food from other locations.
Go somewhere else.
