- "tourist profile different to recent years: say 30% German, UK, French"
I don't think much has changed. The majority have always come from German-speaking countries, followed by the UK and France. Then Scandinavia, Benelux, Israel and the USA...
- "definitely busier than previous years but not overly so"
I also observed this last year. Plakias was still packed with tourists until the end of October. October has been the new September for a few years now.
In recent years, Plakias has developed from a resort into a proper town with a school, etc. Plakias is now also to get a secondary school.
The Plakias region has been very popular with northern Europeans and residents for many years - many have a house here. Many families from Albania have also settled in Plakias and the surrounding area in recent years.
Many new villas have been built. Plakias is continuing to expand in the direction of Lefkogia. Permits for 100 new buildings have been issued for 2024. There are even more licences for 2025. Plakias and the surrounding area are booming...
- "The Kotsifou gorge is still closed and prob for some time to come."
Have you been able to find out anything about the current status of the construction work? There hasn't been a new article in the local media since mid-June.
Best regards from Hamburg, kv
