When we were in plakias in May I asked a few of the locals about the proposed building on the front. Manolis from the Meltemi who now runs the beach bar knew there was going to be apartments built soon, but seemed to think it would be a few years before a big developement went ahead because of the cost of the land. From the looks of the plans on the website it looks pretty damned big to me! I know some of the locals including Yannis from Ostraco's would welcome the extra trade such a developement would bring and who could blame them. I just hope it won't destroy the fantastic atmosphere of the village. When we talked to Adonnis at Mousses you could tell he was a little concerned about any future developements on the front. He didn't want the place to lose its charm. I think its inevitable things will change eventually. Best make the most of it now, we're already planning our next trip. Anybody reading this in town say hello to Yannis(ostaco's) and Spiros Pipi(from Talos). Have a drink with Manolis at the beach bar and have a raki or three with the boys in Mousses. Also say hi to Ostraco. We met him in May and I've got a nice photo to prove it. I'll post it if I ever find out how to! ....Yammas
