Where to stay / Re: Good hotels?

« on: July 07, 2013, 01:11:40 PM »

I'm coming out (I should rephrase that!) next Tuesday (16th) for two weeks. Staying at Irida week one and Skinos week two and both look and sound great! Last year I stayed at Thetis which I loved and Anna apartments (very modern and comfortable). I've also stayed in Kosta Chrysoulla which met my needs perfectly! Friends have stayed in a variety of places and generally the feedback is pretty good wherever you stay!

Where to stay / Re: Bookings this year (2013)

A very helpful post Ian+? I am in the process of taking your advice and emailing a number of hosts. Having had a wonderful holiday last year split between Anna Appartments and Thetis Studios I am looking for 1 week for one person from the 16th July and 1 week for three people from the 23rd July (we need 2 rooms). I am sure I will stay at Thetis again (what a wonderful garden) but look forward to any further advice you or other posters can give!
Having met Theo from Creta Spirit a couple of times last year and having had a tour of his accomodation and spectacular location between Plakias and Souda I would love to stay there too - while ideal for me it probably won't work for my son and his girlfriend - maybe a few days there for me during week one!
I concur with you that the Chania option is well worth considering - even if taking public transport. I found it a bit of an adventure last year minus the tour rep! On the way back a visit to the  Souda war graves cemetary just outside Chania is to be recommended!
Who knows we may meet up during our stay!
Look forward to seeing you Ian+? and anyone else hanging in the beach bar or costas!

Thanks all - have just taken the plunge on Anna apartments which sounds ideal. I'll be about from the 17th till the 25th so if you see or hear a large Scottish guy with a Kindle, some facial hair and looking laid back it's probably me - so say hello!

I'm coming down to Plakias for a week or so from the 17th July and looking for self catering accomodation. I stayed at Kosta last year but am travelling independantly this time. Looking for something friendly, comfortable, with a balcony (sea view) and not to pricey. As you can see I'm looking for the ideal....Any recomendations would be most welcome.
