Hi Admin,
Just a remark:
As lazy as I am I was frequently visiting the forum as "guest" noth bothering to log in and could not find the "Accommodations" and "Tavernas" in the FAQ/review section. Now I found out that these 2 sections are only visible when logged in. Perhaps an overlooked minor flaw? I do not bother as long as we know.
Will Livikon and Paligremnos be shown in the Bars and Tavernas sections as earlier suggested other members?
Regards

Just a bit of inconsistency on my part, should now be able to view Accommodation and Tavernas as a guest although you will need to be logged in to add a comment or rating.

Livikon is now in Accom & bar, so they should be in Taverna as well? Paligremnos is now in Bar, Acc & Tav.

Paul,
I personally donot think Livikon is a taverna, more a lounge bar with a nice view across the bay.
For website information / contacts of the various accomodations, you might consider a link with www.plakias-filoxenia.gr This site (rooms to let) gives (in my opinion) info of all the Plakias accomodations except Livikon. Saves you a lot of work in case it is your intention to fill in all the information fields of each accommodation.

Cheers,

Paul

Where to go / A little quiz

« on: July 20, 2005, 03:46:00 PM »

well, (not wishing to be picky....oh why not!!  )

if it was taken by the Germans then it would have been after 1-6-41 ( sphakia was in allied hands until that time)

good picture though, the harbour has been improved greatly

Where to go / A little quiz

« on: July 20, 2005, 01:22:43 PM »

spot on!

but i believe the picture was taken in the 1940's
[a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=3838\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a]

Hi Harribobs,

You are correct this picture belongs to a serie of the WW2 German invasion of Crete: "Operation Mercury"
Most likely picture has been taken during this invasion period 20-05-1941 / 01-06-1941.

Hi Admin
Unfortunately you are going to get bombarded with everyones favourites, but I guess that is what the FAQ file is all about.

How about listing:
1. Irida apartments
2. Santa Maria apartments
3. Lamon apartments/taverna

I've got pics of 1 and 2 if you need them.

Keep up the good work, I think you deserve a holiday!

Kalispera Admin,
Just to get the list complete: Hotel Livikon?? One of the oldest accomodations in Plakias. We stayed there 3 nights, end of May 2005 I would rate it 3 stars. (Fridge and AC OK, but missed the famous elec. kettle, perhaps we should have asked for) Shifted later to Paligremnos 5 nights which we would confirm 4 star rating.

NB Highly appreciate your great job done on this site.
Is there an interest to include a Plakias photosite to the forum. I am sure a lot of members like to show their photo impressions of Plakias?

Hi ther,
just came across the site of the acornman, he stayed in Paleochora a short while ago:

See http://MEMBERS.VIRTUALTOURIST.COM/m/71f79/670c3

Sounds like Plakias? However preferred the food in Plakias.

Where to stay / Anna's Apartments-Mirthios

« on: June 17, 2005, 03:55:14 PM »

We have stayed at Anna's apartments several times over the last three years and they are absolutely the best! She's a wonderful landlady, leaving gifts of cakes, biscuits or fresh free-range eggs; they're a lovely friendly family, and the apartments are superb. Being above Plakias makes for an incredibly relaxing atmosphere, and the three restaurants in Mirthios are just great when you can't be bothered heading down the hill.
[a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=3297\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a]

Could you share name of those restaurants/tavernas which is worth to each and drink? I'll be there for two weeks on beggining of Jully.

Stayed 8 days in Plakias 11-19 May 05 and had most of the time lunch and dinner in town at various taverna's. Were never dis-appointed at any place. Advise: hang on to  Cretian meals. Suggest as starter: a mix of all starters at Mousses.  Most likely available at all places. Lunch at Peligramnos in their nice garden.
Relax and enjoy. We have to wait another year.
