Mirthios/Myrthios Tavernas

Voloudakis:
The village of Mirthios/ Myrthios is just above Plakias and has a few shops and four Tavernas I know of. The Plateia, The Panorama, Dionyssos and Vrisi.
I have never eaten in Dionyssos so would be interested in any reviews, it is raised up above the road on the opposite side to the Plateia and Panorama, always full when we pass in the evening. The Vrisi is just below the main street in Myrthios and next to the old laundry, it can be accessed by steps in the village or a small road when entering Myrthios, you can also drive up the small steep road that passes the turning for the Youth Hostel which will take you straight to the Vrisi, the vrisi may look extremely plush but its prices are reasonable. The Plateia serves excellent traditional Cretan food and if you want to try that true Cretan dish of snails this is where to eat them.

Barny:
Ahh,memories! who remembers getting the Plakias 'train' up to Myrthios, enjoying a meal in Platea then waiting for the train to take us back down to Plakias?

That poor old, dear little train......conveyor of many happy visitors. It took us to Mirthios on several occasions...I could have walked up in less time but never mind. It also took me to the raki festival as Kalli Sekia (sorry about the spelling) on the night before my 40th birthday....great evening even though we did need to get up at 6am for the trip to Samaria the next day. Great memories  (I think....couldn't really vouch for their accuracy in the circumstances) !

Voloudakis:
The walk up is a little warm in the main summer months. Where did the little train go?  It sat not moving for a season or so and then went away. Is it the one near Rethymnon carrying tourists about?

Ploppy:
I heard it went to Athens a number of years ago much to Margherita's dismay.
