Iraklio-Plakias by night

[harribobs]

Chris,
In case the hole is not fixed and scares you off    you can take the route via the Imbros Gorge.

The views   are worth the de-tour!

I've been up and down that road a few times....and it still scares me  

last year we went up it on the back of a pickup truck...that was fun  

coming down was much slower

Good news- the hole outside Koxare is fixed-    Plakias is looking great. The place is beginning to sparkle - fix-up/ clean-up in full swing- They are expecting big crowds this year-

glad to hear they did fix that hole  

i've seen roadworks lasting longer than that!!  (what's the situation with the national around rethymnon?)

it's funny looking my photo again...mandy is staring at the people further down the gorge because they were hanging around while i was waiting to take the picture and just as i took it, one of them stepped into the gap and i didn't notice.....i think he'll be 'shopped' out very shortly

I assume you are talking about the road heading west from Rethymno-by the intechange to the Lidle store- that work is complete and works well

yeah it shouldn't be a problem, it's pretty well lit until you turn off the spilli road, i hope they've fixed that hole in the road outside koxares (?)

However do not take the shortcut to Plakias  (even not with 4 wheel drive).

I don't see the problem- this just shows how clever our Greek friends are at parking their car- no matter how difficult the place is-
Santa

[beachcombers]

The car had a Swiss ID plate.  
The Swiss are apparently familiar with solving their parking problems as well.
(Or learned to park the Greek way?)

That car belonged to a Swiss guy called Roli,who was paraplegic.Unfortunately he died four years ago. He is buried in the little church yard in Myrthios

Churchyard in Mythios

Coming from Plakias, at the R/H bend, instead of turning LEFT to Myrthios take the R/H bend and after approx 80/100yds turn SHARP LEFT up the "dirt track" for what seems like forever up the VERY steep VERY narrow VERY twisty track and its at the top on the left.
 Its the most beautiful, spectacular and peaceful place you could ever imagine.
Well worth the visit if you've got the nerve. :'(  :'(  :'(

I considered removing the whole thread, but the information at the beginning is useful and I did not want to loose this.

I would suggest that if personal issues arise between members in future they should be discussed on a one to one basis using the personal messenger facility.
