Where to go / Gavdos Island

« on: August 28, 2006, 07:12:13 PM »

Gavdos now no go  
Decided our planned trip was too much at risk from getting stranded and missing flight home due to winds and ferry getting cancelled. Next year we'll visit Gavdos in the first week and not the second  
So instead.......





6th, 7th, 8th Sept will be at Santorini , going over on the Seacat, tickets booked  

Then back to Placky from 8th to the 12th  

Any suggestions on where to stay on Santorini much appreciated, though this may just be one trip where it might be best to wait till arrival and sift through the room touts  :'(

Thanks Graeme for the info re Gavdos.
Santorini - suggest you try www.afroessa.gr/. We had very romantic break there en route to Crete last September.    Lovely rooms, pleasant owner, stunning views.

Where to go / Gavdos Island

« on: August 27, 2006, 01:49:45 PM »

In mid September we hope to spend a night on Gavdos before we head to Plakias.
Can anyone recommend accommodation and secondly, Graeme, where is Kamareles beach as I cant locate it on the (fairly) large scale map I have?
Is there much likelyhood at that time of year of getting stranded due to ferry cancellation?

Can anyone tell me if there is one or more ATM's in Plakias?  Similarly, are there ATM's in Chora Sfakion and Lendas?
Thanks

We have booked for 17-23rd September. So may bump into you - listen out for Scottish voices 'ye ken'.

How far are the Paligremnos Studios from the centre of Plakias?  As we will not have a car, are there street lights between the town and the studios? How soon should we book for mid/late September?
Thanks.

Plakias / Travel to Plakias

John and Santa -many thanks for your helpful comments.
Thats an interesting comment about Gavdos and the weather. We plan to go to the island on a Sunday and return on Thursday. The beauty of returning on Thursday is that (based on 2005 schedules) there are also ferries back to Sfakia on Fri, Sat and Sun. So unless its a really epic storm I hope my 'bases are covered'.
Thereafter, arranging a taxi is my preferred option as I enjoy not having to drive for a few weeks. I was impressed with the Crete bus service last year.

Plakias / Travel to Plakias

« on: March 20, 2006, 08:45:48 PM »

My wife and I intend to stay in Plakias in September. We hope to have stayed on Gavdos Island before we come to Plakias.
The ferry returning from Gavdos gets to Chora Sfakia about 18.30. Will there be a local taxi either in Sfakia or Plakias that we could arrange before to pick us and take us to Plakias?  Is this something that the Apartment in Plakias we will stay in, could arrange?
I would be interested to hear of any other suggestion to get between the two towns.
