Last year, the beauty already won two titles - the most attractive...

Filming of one of the most popular, sought-after and expensive television series in history - “Game of Thrones” - was carried out in various parts of the world.

The team filming the film version of George R.R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire had to travel virtually the whole world to do this. Yes exactly - King's Landing has very real geographical coordinates in our world, and the White Walkers also come from a very specific place. Let's find out exactly where the most striking episodes were filmed.

You might want to visit these places and find yourself inside the exciting television saga.

Spain

Spain contributed to the series with its picturesque places in the last one (on this moment) the fifth season of Game of Thrones. But it was an exceptionally bright and effective debut. The amazing Seville spread out before the audience, which on the screens turned into the capital of Dorne.

When the Andalusians found out exactly what kind of film crew would soon come to them, it caused local residents an unprecedented emotional upsurge. And when the recruitment of 550 people for extras was announced, the real excitement began. The project headquarters and production center, which was located in the town of Osuna, received 86 thousand applications from all over Andalusia in a matter of days. For comparison, the entire population of Osuna is 17,973 people.

Alcazar of Seville - Water Gardens, Dorne

The picturesque palaces and colorful parks of Seville were chosen to depict Dorne as it appears in the original work - the rich and luxurious home of the Martells. One look at all this beauty and wealth is enough to understand why the Lannisters were so interested in establishing relations with the Martells.

In the fifth season, viewers can enjoy how the real “earthly” Alcazar of Seville turns into the Water Gardens - the most picturesque country estate of the Martell family. The amazing combination of young Sand Snakes frolicking in the pools and gardens of the palace and adults weaving terrible intrigues is truly “invigorating”.

According to some unverified reports, in future seasons we will be shown an underground reservoir of the Martell Castle, similar to the Basilica Cistern in Istanbul.

Osuna Bullring - Meereen Arena

One of the most poignant moments of the fifth season of the series was a real massacre in the arena of Meereen. In our world, this is the bullring in Osuna. In Game of Thrones, the main characters in this arena were, of course, not bulls. We will feel sorry for those who have not yet watched the fifth season, and we will not give away the secrets of the film. Let's just say that, according to D. B. Weiss, it took a whole 17 days to shoot just one of the scenes, not counting the work on special effects.

Long before the release of the season, the managers of the local restaurant Casa Curro, well aware that after the premiere a powerful stream of tourist fans would pour in, renamed some menu items. So, the restaurant introduced dishes “Khalisi”, “Jon Snow”, “Melisandre” and others in the same spirit.

Roman Bridge, Cordoba - Long Bridge, Volantis

In Game of Thrones, our “earthly” Spanish Cordoba became the largest of the Free Cities, and the amazing Roman Bridge was transformed into the fantasy Long Bridge. In fact, the Spanish Guadalquivir River is disproportionately smaller than the fabulous Royne, but modern cinematography easily solved the problem of impressive proportions.

Morocco

Actress Emilia Clarke had to travel a lot during the filming of the series - just like her alter ego - Daenerys Targaryen, Mother of Dragons. Episodes with the last of the Targaryens were filmed in Croatia, Morocco and Malta. In Morocco, the task was to recreate Essos - a hot and sunny continent.

Ait Benhaddou - Yunkai and Pentos

After the release of famous episodes of the series, tourist traffic in Morocco increased significantly. Many fans wanted to personally repeat Daenerys’ entire journey through Slaver’s Bay and the Free Cities. Most of all, tourists (and filmmakers) liked the Moroccan ksar Ait Ben Haddou. The fortified city sits majestically on a hill a hundred kilometers from the capital Marrakesh in the middle of the hot desert - an ideal location for filming the necessary episodes of Game of Thrones. These walls still remember how, centuries ago, trade caravans loaded with a wide variety of goods entered the city.

It must be said that this Moroccan fortress appears in many famous films - “The Pearl of the Nile”, “Gladiator”, “The Mummy”, “Jesus of Nazareth”, “Alexander”. Feature films have been filmed here regularly since the 60s of the last century. The ancient ksar looks very authentic.

As for “Game of Thrones,” Ait-Ben-Haddou “starred in the role” of two fantasy cities at once – free Pentos and slave-owning Yunkai.

Essaouira - Astapor

In the series, Astapor is located south of Yunkai. In our world, everything is geographically somewhat different. Essaouira, which is transformed into Astapor in the movies, is located west of Ait Benhaddou - on the Atlantic coast. It was in this place that Daenerys was engaged in exciting negotiations to purchase eight thousand Unsullied.

Interesting historical fact, that in the 60-70s of the last century, when the hippie era reigned, Cat Stevens, together with the legendary Jimi Hendrix, unwittingly turned Essaouira into a real Mecca for hippies around the world. Hendrix lived here for five whole years and even planned to buy out an entire block for hippie tourists to live in.

Until now, this small fishing village, with its particularly relaxed atmosphere, is actively visited by travelers and connoisseurs of Hendrix’s work.

Atlas Studios, Ouarzazate - Free Cities and Slaver's Bay

Ouarzazate is of interest to connoisseurs of good cinema in itself, separately from the films shot in this place. And this is because five kilometers from the city is the world's largest film studio in terms of area, Atlas Studios. 20 hectares of filming space is truly a record in the history of the film industry.

In addition to Game of Thrones, Gladiator, Prince of Persia, Babylon, and Spy Games were filmed here. And for Hollywood star Brad Pitt and cult director Ridley Scott, these places are practically their second home.

Iceland

If Daenerys (and especially Emilia Clarke) was very lucky in the climate scenario, then Jon Snow found himself in completely opposite conditions - in the harsh snows of Iceland. His enemies, the wildlings, are accustomed to such a climate, but the “ravens” had a hard time. The only consolation during filming was the “dragon glass” lying everywhere in the volcanic expanses of Iceland.

Grjötagya - "You know nothing, Jon Snow"

The picturesque grotto where Ygritte utters her usual words for the last time - “You know nothing, Jon Snow” - we are unlikely to see in the new seasons of the series. Moreover, it is a must-visit when traveling to Iceland.

In the real world, this place has the unpronounceable name Grjötagja. This volcanic cave is located in the northeast island state near Lake Mivan. Like many other places in Iceland, the cave is characterized by the contrast of “ice and fire” - outside the cave there is always snow and ice, and in the lake itself inside the cave the water temperature sometimes reaches 50 degrees.

Grjötagya is especially popular among tourists, especially couples. Gloomy, but indescribable a nice place has a special romantic charm even without reference to the film, and for fans looking for romance it seems like something truly special.

Dimmuborger - Wildling Camp

We have already said that the Grjotagya grotto is located near Lake Mivan. So, the Dimmuborger lava fields are directly adjacent to this lake. This place fits extremely well into the narrative of the series, especially since in reality Dimmuborger is considered in Icelandic folklore to be an extremely “bad”, devilish place where those very trolls live, who are distinguished by their exceptional bloodthirstiness.

In the film, this is where the King of the Wildlings, Mance Rayder, set up camp.

Vatnajökull - Lands Beyond the Wall

The amazing diversity of Iceland's landscapes has more than once saved the Game of Thrones crew from the need to build expensive sets. Nature itself provided fantastic landscapes completely free of charge.

Thus, the largest glacier in Iceland with its deserted snowy deserts easily turned into the Lands Beyond the Wall. Currently Vatnajökull is actively developing tourism infrastructure, hotels and restaurants are “proliferating” for the ever-growing flow of tourists.

Hoefdabrekka, Vik and Myrdalur - Fangs of Frost

Höfdabrekka is another extremely “hospitable” place in Iceland, where the film crew had to be very stuck due to the short daylight hours - they could only film episodes for a couple of hours a day.

This place with its black sand on the beach, active volcano Katla and another glacier with the unpronounceable name Myrdalsjökull, fascinates with its cold grandeur and special infernal aesthetics.

National Park Thingvellir - Riverlands

Did you know that Iceland, like Russia, also has its own Golden ring? Now you will know. This is the most popular tourist destination. The real pearl of Iceland's Golden Circle is Þingvellir, a national park recognized by UNESCO as a world natural heritage. This place is also almost sacred for every Icelander, since it was in Þingvellir that the Althing, a folk meeting, gathered for a thousand years. In the early Middle Ages - in the year 1000 - it was here that the Icelanders adopted the Christian faith. In 1944, it was here that the country declared independence.

Thingvellir first appears in the series in season 4. Episodes of the journey of Clegane the Hound and his hostage companion Arya Stark were filmed here. This is exactly what the warmest part of summer in Iceland looks like in the series.

Croatia

The Lannister family has always been characteristic– they always knew how to “settle” in every sense. The Starks always lived in permanent anticipation of Winter, the proximity of which ran (and continues) as a refrain throughout the entire series. And the Lannisters with their lions always felt good in their domains. It is not surprising, because in our Universe these places are located in sunny Croatia. And the legendary Iron Throne was erected in the middle tourist capital Croatia Dubrovnik.

Dubrovnik - King's Landing

Dubrovnik did not lose its status as the capital in the series; on the contrary, it strengthened it, becoming the capital of Westeros. The historical part of Dubrovnik provided the film crew with excellent opportunities for location filming. A perfectly preserved castle with a fortress wall directly abutting the sea waves is almost too good a fantasy picture to be real, but this place really exists.
It is worth noting that the “wild fire” bypassed the location shooting.

Fortunately for the local tourism department, and for the townspeople, the greenish flame that destroyed part of Stannis Baratheon's fleet was just a special effect. But what!

Lovrijenac Fortress - Red Castle

At the very beginning of the series, the Red Castle was actually located in Malta, but literally from the second season the Game of Thrones team decided to move the throne room to the capital. The Croatian fortress Lovrijenac was ideal for this. The majestic ancient structure rises on a cliff 37 meters high, and is located just a five-minute walk from the historical part of Dubrovnik. The city and the fortress are separated by a small bay - it was here that the Battle of Chernovodnaya was filmed live.

It is worth noting an interesting fact. At the entrance to Lovrijenac the motto of the Dubrovnik Republic is engraved - “Non Bene Pro Toto Libertas Venditur Auro” (Freedom is not sold for gold). Considering the ideology of the Lannister family and the behavior of young Joffrey, this inscription looks very bizarre.
Trsteno Arboretum - King's Landing Gardens

Don't forget that King's Landing has repeatedly flaunted its picturesque gardens in the series. To see them in person, it is enough to visit Croatia, namely the Trsteno Arboretum. It is located 10 km from Dubrovnik. Everything here will be more than recognizable to every Game of Thrones fan - gazebos, aqueducts, fountains with statues, galleries entwined with vines - this is where the lion's share of the intrigues that Tyrion and Varys weaved were discussed.

Lokrum - Quart

The small picturesque island of Lokrum in the middle of the Adriatic played a special role in the series. There Lokrum became Qarth - the same picturesque oasis city, but not in the middle of the sea, but in the middle of the desert. Local Botanical Garden with its Mediterranean flora, it was easily transformed into the gardens and parks of Qarth, where Daenerys and Xaro strolled.

In Game of Thrones, if a traveler was not allowed through by the guards at the gates of Qarth, he would remain forever in the Garden of Bones. In our world, these places are not so uncompromising, and if for some reason a tourist did not get to Lokrum, then just a kilometer away is the same Dubrovnik, where there will definitely be something to do.

Mincheta Tower - House of the Immortals

The mysterious House of the Immortals - the headquarters of the Quart sorcerers - in the reality of our world is located literally next to the place where the Iron Throne is installed, namely in Dubrovnik in the Minceta Tower. In the film, some plots of the book were slightly changed, but in both the book and the series, the fates of the sorcerers and Daenerys’ visions coincide.

Sibenik - Braavos

A very modest Croatian resort - Sibenik - received a serious "promotion" in "Game of Thrones". It was to him that the authors of the series “entrusted” the responsible role of the richest of the Free Cities – Braavos. Šibenik appeared as Braavos only in the fifth season of The Games, but this appearance was more than spectacular.

It’s not surprising, because this is where the mysterious Order of the Faceless Ones is located, where Arya Stark was so eager. And it was here that the no less mysterious Iron Bank, perhaps the most powerful organization in Westeros, was strengthened.

Split - King's Landing

From what we have already said, it becomes clear that the authors of “Game of Thrones” literally assembled King’s Landing as a construction set from the most different places real world. One of these elements was Diocletian's Palace in Croatian Split. It was there that one of the most dramatic scenes of the fifth season of the series was filmed, where the central figure was Cersei at the moment of her greatest ordeal.

Previously, Split, or rather its suburb Zrnovica, already appeared in the epic film. The sheer cliffs of an abandoned quarry became a film set for scenes of Daario's battle with the horseman champion of the city of the Great Lords. The conquest of Meereen was also filmed here.

Klis Fortress - Meereen

15 kilometers from Split there is a small medieval castle Klis, which has never enjoyed much love from tourists. The fortifications are dilapidated, it is difficult to get to the castle along the steep slopes, and the castle itself in terms of picturesqueness is so-so. But its appearance in “Game of Thrones” sharply fueled tourist interest, because it was on these steep slopes that the scene of the crucifixion of the Great Lords was filmed.

The Meereen City Market also featured here in season five. One of the observation platforms was equipped for him.

Krka National Park - landscapes of Westeros

The Krka National Park also featured in the series, presenting viewers with its indescribable beauty in location shooting of the landscapes of Westeros. Many see similarities in Krka with the famous Plitvice Lakes, so it is not surprising that the film crew could not ignore this unique place.

The most picturesque waterfalls, turquoise lagoons - all this fit perfectly into the visual range of the most spectacular episodes of the series.

Ston - King's Landing

Perhaps the most rapid “career growth” thanks to “Game of Thrones” was experienced by the small Croatian village of Ston, located in the south of the country. In the series, it became the capital of the Seven Kingdoms. The powerful fortress wall and picturesque tiled roofs, properly “seasoned” with special effects, fit perfectly into the overall visual appearance of King’s Landing.

It is noteworthy that even though in reality Ston is really an ordinary village, its fortress wall is quite impressive and without any special effects. In the Middle Ages, this five-kilometer rampart with five fortresses and forty towers more than once took upon itself the first blows of the Ottomans besieging the borders of the Dubrovnik Republic. At that time, they were a real reflection of the current “cinematic” Wildlings.

Northern Ireland

The creators of the Game of Thrones universe populated Northern Ireland mainly with Iron Men - the harsh subjects of Balon Greyjoy. But Ireland's stunning landscapes gave the crew much more opportunities. The Stormlands, the Royal Road, and Winterfell were filmed here, and in the fifth season, Hardhome and Castle Black were also filmed.

Tollymore Forest Park - Forests of the North

Tollymore Park made its debut in Game of Thrones in the very first episodes - when the Starks pick up the direwolf puppies. In our world, Tollymore is as much as 630 hectares of picturesque forests with extremely successful inclusions of mountain rivers, grottoes and caves.

Some places offer colorful views of the sea. The team of the series more than deliberately chose these places to film a number of episodes, and the audience appreciated this choice.

Ward Castle - Winterfell

The luxurious grounds of Ward Castle, located on the shores of Strangford Lough, kindly hosted the series team to film scenes in the Winterfell courtyard. It was here that the exciting episode of the first appearance of Robert Baratheon and his retinue was filmed.

Dark Hedges - Royal Road

The beech alley of Dark Hedges is considered by many to be the most beautiful in the world, and this universal recognition could not fail to be noticed by the Game of Thrones team, which tried in every possible way to collect all the “best” things in the film. These trees are about three hundred years old - they were planted in the 18th century.

The then owners of Gracehill Castle conceived this project in order to make the right impression on guests. But the implementation of the idea turned out to be so successful that it outlived not only its authors, but also more than one generation of their descendants. And now any tourist traveling around Northern Ireland can enjoy the stunning Dark Hedges. Now this place is the most photographed in the country.

In Game of Thrones, the alley turned into part of the main transport artery of Westeros - the King's Road. The road in the film starts in the south at Storm's End and ends in the north at the Wall itself. For those who are “lost” in the seasons, we remind you that you can see the alley-tract in the first two seasons. It is there that Arya Stark, dressed in boyish clothes, goes to join the Night's Watch with her companions - Jaqen H'ghar, Gendry and Yoren.

Murlough Bay - Iron Islands

Almost all of Theon Greyjoy's scenes on Pyke, with the Iron Islands clearly visible in the background, were filmed on the shores of Murlough Bay in northeast Ireland.

It was the islands of Scotland that became the Iron Islands in the fantasy world of Game of Thrones.

Ballintoy Bay - Lordsport

The miniature but exceptionally picturesque Scottish village of Ballintoy in County Antrim fairy tale world Game of Thrones has become Lordsport on Pyke.

It was here that Theon Greyjoy went ashore, arriving to negotiate with his father. From here, Theon will leave the Iron Islands in a few episodes.

Larrybane - Stormlands

Perhaps one of the most formidable and dramatic stretches of Northern Ireland's coastline is Larrybane. It is unlikely that anyone will be left indifferent by its majestic sheer cliffs, towering directly above sea ​​waves. This place was just asking to be included in the series as the Stormlands.

Here the film crew unwittingly created another geographical anomaly - in our world, from Larrybane to the village of Ballintoy (Iron Islands) you can easily walk on foot in less than an hour.

Mussenden Temple and Downhill Beach - Dragonstone

There aren't many people who associate the coast of Northern Ireland with sandy beaches. However, there are such beaches. One of the most notable is the 11-kilometer Downhill Beach, which the creators of the series expertly used to film episodes on Dragon Stone. Melisandre burned the old gods here.

Cushendun Caverns - Stormlands

The gloomy but majestic Cushendun Caves, located in the northeast of Ireland, literally bursts into the series in the second season. Here a mystical scene unfolds with Melisandre in the title role. The lady sorceress is brought here by Davos Seaworth on the orders of Stannis. Here the priestess gives birth to otherworldly monsters that can radically change the course of the war.

Magheramore - Castle Black and Hardhome

In our real world, Magheramore in County Antrim doesn't even qualify as a village. This place is more like a farm - just a few houses next to an abandoned limestone quarry. Life in this, frankly, dull place changed dramatically when in 2014 the Game of Thrones film crew came here with Jon Snow and all the “crows”.

The old quarry warehouses served well for filming scenes in the barracks of Castle Black. And the terrible bloody battle with the Others in the fifth season was also filmed here - on the shore of the bay. By the way, this battle was not in the book.

Malta

The island state of Malta made an impressive contribution with its attractions to the creation of the most popular and expensive TV series of our time. The country of palaces, forts and fortresses was simply ideal for filming a number of dramatic and colorful scenes. In addition, local authorities went out of their way to facilitate the producers and crew - the country is heavily dependent on tourism, and such a chance to attract guests from all over the world could not be missed. It even got to the point that the president himself provided his personal residence for filming - this is a completely unprecedented fact that deserves respect.

Mdina Gate - King's Landing Gate

The ancient capital of Malta, Mdina, dates back more than 4,000 years. What kind of kingdoms and empires have not been “housed” here for four millennia.

All this is historical and cultural heritage left a lot of traces of its existence - medieval cathedrals, fortress walls, ancient buildings- all this served as the most fruitful basis for filming the most important episodes of Game of Thrones. At the center of several of them was the main attraction of Mdina - the city gates, which in the series became the gates of the capital of Westeros.

Fort Ricasoli - Red Castle

Fort Ricasoli was built back in the 17th century by the Knights Hospitaller. The fortress survived more than one siege and more than one battle in ancient times. Even in the 20th century, it suffered greatly during the Second World War. Having survived about 3,000 enemy bomber raids over a two-year siege, Malta earned the infamous reputation of being one of the most bombed areas in World War II.

The fort is still in a deplorable state and tourists are not allowed there for their own safety. But the Game of Thrones film crew finally obtained permission to work within the walls of the fort, thus giving viewers a unique opportunity to see how the fortress works inside. Previously, however, the fortress had already appeared in such blockbusters as “Gladiator” and “Troy”. In Game of Thrones, Fort Ricasoli played the role of the Red Castle.

Azure Window - wedding of Daenerys and Drogo

Malta gave the series another picturesque location for filming more than impressive spectacle– the wedding of Daenerys and Khal Drogo at the very beginning of the fictional narrative. The events took place on the island of Gozo in the vicinity of a 50-meter rocky arch of natural origin.

This arch was once called the “Azure Window” and since ancient times it has been one of the most recognizable symbols of Malta.
It is noteworthy that more than one epic film was filmed here. It’s worth remembering at least “Clash of the Titans” and “Odyssey” by Konchalovsky.

Verdala Palace - Pentos, home of Illyrio Mopatis

Finally, we have come to perhaps the funniest thing, if not in the series, then certainly on its set. Namely, to the summer residence of the President of Malta, which the head of state kindly made available to the film crew.

One of the first scenes of the series was filmed here, when Daenerys and her brother Viserys visit Illyrio Mopatis, the “pimp” who introduced the last Targaryens to Daenerys’ fiance Khal Drogo. In ordinary life in Malta inside the palace to a simple tourist You can’t get in, but the authorities allow you to walk around the garden.

San Anton Palace - Red Castle

Verdala Palace is not the only residence of the Maltese president that the Game of Thrones crew “occupied” during filming. The group even managed to agree on a temporary “rent” of the official residence of the president, which is located in Attard within the walls of the San Anton Palace. The palace appears in the scene where Littlefinger and Varys try to convince Eddard Stark of the Golden Cloaks' complete submission to him.

True, the presidential chambers were still not allowed to be photographed - only from outside the building.

Fort Sant'Angelo - catacombs of the Red Castle

The fortress of Sant'Angelo in the city of Birgu used to be called the "Sea Castle". When exactly it was built, no one has yet been able to really determine. However, it is historically reliably known that in the Middle Ages the fort served as the residence of the Grand Master of the Order of the Knights Hospitaller.

A very impressive episode was filmed here with Arya chasing a cat around the Red Keep and ending up in a cave with dragon skulls.

Fort Manoel - Great Sept of Baelor

The medieval fort of Manoel, which belonged to the Knights of Malta, at one time did a good job of guarding the entrance to Marsamxett harbor. In the fantasy world of the series, Manoel became the Great Sept of Baelor.

The steps of the fort were also where the most poignant climactic scene of the first season was filmed, with Sean Bean at the center of the frame.

Scotland

While the lion's share of Game of Thrones' impressive scenes were filmed in Northern Ireland, there was only one location very close by, in Scotland. However, she also played an important role in the film.

Doune Castle - Winterfell

The medieval fortress of Doune, which belonged to the Stuart dynasty hundreds of years ago, is located near Stirling. These places at one time became famous for the battles for the independence of Scotland, in which William Wallace, the same “Braveheart,” became famous. Long before it became Winterfell, the castle featured in the film Monty Python and the Holy Grail.
Now the fortress is in a very sad state, in many ways unwittingly reflecting the fate of Winterfell itself.

USA

Los Angeles

In the seventh episode of the third season of Game of Thrones - The Bear and the Fair Maid, due to legal restrictions and difficulties with transporting large animals, the scenes with the bear Baby Bart had to be filmed in a studio in Los Angeles. Although this location was only intended for filming one scene, it was the fifth country where the series was filmed during the season (after Northern Ireland, Morocco, Croatia and Iceland).

Conclusion

Filming the epic saga, which has long become a cult favorite among a wide variety of television viewers, the film crew traveled halfway around the world. But the series did not end there - filming is actively underway, and no one can yet say for sure when the creators of the outstanding show will decide to wind down the project. Therefore, we are sure that more than one place will appear on the world map, opening an imaginary portal to the fantasy world of “Game of Thrones.”

The first and most important thing is that I never received an answer, but I would really like to! There is a farm on site, let's say a mini farm. When we arrived there was a goat and a small lamb, the child immediately rushed to pet them, the lamb looked strange (he was breathing heavily, coughing as if he was choking, staggering) it was obvious that he was sick... a day later the lamb disappeared and it turned out that he had died.... I didn’t receive an answer to my question to the staff about what happened to him! My child was petting this lamb, but it wasn’t until the first minute that they realized that he was sick! I think it's simply irresponsible to keep animals for fun... if you're going to run a mini farm, do it right! In the end, your children are trying to get to him and you have to find out what he was sick with!!! What if he has rabies?! I'm actually looking forward to a full clarification in the review response! The lamb was removed, they put hares or rabbits in a pen, it’s not clear whether someone else lived there before, how often do your animals die? I’m curious? It seems to me that you need to seriously think about whether it’s worth doing something that you don’t know how to do... Regarding the rest, it’s probably not that important compared to a sick animal on the territory that is within the reach of children, but I’ll write my opinion: In a room without shower, but there is no hot water with the toilet, ice pours from the tap, your hands are cramping, is it really difficult to install a small boiler for 10-15 liters, it’s impossible to even wash your face. They turned off the power from lunch until the evening, I don’t know how often this happens, but there is no water... so-so story ((The dishes are not washed in the dishwasher, the forks and spoons are greasy with a coating, this is not very pleasant. In general, if you feed people , you must wash dishes in a PMM. Everything can be survived in general, but the safety of children’s health and sanitation, it seems to me, determines the level of the place and the people who run this place.... I’m waiting for information on your lamb’s illness!

Baikal is close, the child can walk to the beach and back. The beach is clean. The hotel area is good, there is a children's playground, grass, and a gazebo. Food - you can eat. The mattress is normal and comfortable.

We took an economy number. I understand that we shouldn’t have counted on a TV or a kettle, and that’s quite normal, but the holey bed linen was not part of our plans and it really upset us. The house is really the simplest: a beam and wiring along it, not even covered with anything. There are no lamps except overhead light, which is very inconvenient. Incredible audibility, you can even hear the neighbors whispering, and the staircase leading to the second floor creaks so much that in the morning you don’t need any alarm clock. Cleaning the room is a separate issue. A 16-year-old girl comes, waves a broom, kicking up all the dust - that’s it! We scattered the seeds behind the curtain after this “super cleaning” and they remained in their place. The staff apparently received instructions to be attentive to visitors, but in the end they turned out to be overly intrusive. In principle, it’s quite an ordinary guest house, of which there are hundreds on Lake Baikal, but the name... if it had been called, for example, “At Petrovich’s” or something like that, then the expectations would have been appropriate, but here it’s “Royal Harbor”. .. as they say “you call yourself a load, get into the box”, but this is not about this hotel.... Accommodation lasting 1 night

cozy wooden houses with spacious rooms, I especially liked the three-course meal included in the price. There is a luxurious bathhouse where you go with pleasure if you are scared in Lake Baikal. By the way, it is a three-minute walk from the guest house! Sasha is the main assistant in all household matters, she will always help and advise if you need any help.

Length of stay: July 2018
