15. Aperitif games in hotel „Portes Palace“, Halkidiki 
Volleyball, by far, is on the first place among the animator. This activity enables 
good communication between the animator and the guests and it is widely used 
in hotels throughout the Mediterranean. It should be pointed out that this is a 
recreational volleyball without strict rules where guests communicate, socialize 
and feel relaxed when they play it. That is the reason why animators just adore 
this as an activity (picture 16). 90% of animators like this activity (chart 6).
Football and basketball are not as popular as volleyball is. Football is on 14th 
place and basketball is on 21st place.

popular 
among 
the 
animators. It is on the 6th 
place on the chart. It is 
played in modified pools 
(picture 17) and there are 
no strict rules. The main 
thing is to participate and 
have fun. 12% like this 
activity, 14,7 % like this 
activity a lot while 52% 
of animators adore it. 
Tendency 
for 
water 
basketball differ among 
the animators. Although it 
very attractive, it is not 
simple for realization. The 
basketball 
rims 
are 
installed separately which 
is evident from the picture

of the animators it is on 
24th place in the chart 6,

Tennis is somewhere in the middle, 22nd place of the preferred activities of the 
animators.
Golf is a very demanding activity. 57.3 % of animators do not like golf and 10.7 
% prefer it less which puts this activity on 38th place i.e. it is in the last zone.
The most of Mediterranean hotels have mini golf. The rules are easy to follow 
and there are always candidates to play it. On our list it is somewhere in the 
middle.
Fitness is connected with the gym but also in the open. Every hotel has a gym. 
Large number of surveyors prefer to work in gym or in the open, which is what 
our results show. Even 37.3 % adore this activity, 26,7 % like it a lot while 17,3 
% just like it which puts this activity on 10th place of the preferred activities. 
Working with children is always an inspiration. The first thought of animators 
when the subject of animation is brought up is working with kids. That is why a 
large number of animators prefer mini club (picture 19) where they work with 
children. The activity mini club is on the 5th place of preferred activities, or 
53.3 % of the ones who adore this activity, 18.7 % prefer it a lot and 5.3 % just 
prefer it.
