Plakias / Changes over the past few years
« on: May 14, 2023, 12:21:01 PM »
My last visit to Plakias was in June 2019, where I had a lovely trip that went pretty well.
In simple terms what has changed since then and over the last four years. I understand that there has been some development of properties that are set back from the main coast road through the village (Somewhere near/behind Antoni's Place I believe)? Are there any updated photos that can be seen on this site?
Anything else that might have changed? There was talk of a ring road making the area pedestrianized so does that limit access by car to some places?
Any further information would be most welcome.
Thank you all.

Plakias / Plakias Far end, what's there now (summer 2020)?
« on: August 11, 2020, 04:11:48 PM »
I have just had a look on the web cam and can't see any sunbeds/parasols at the far end at all (maybe it's my eyes)? Does anyone know if any are there this summer? I can see a set of beds nearer towards the web cam but nothing further up.

Also, last year lots of small rocks and boulders were washed up along the shore line at the far end, making for tricky access to the sea. Does anyone know if they have washed away to make for a nice sandy walk into the sea? It was okay there is 2016 and 2017 but not in 2019.

Thanks (I'm still looking for deals this September but nothing is looking discounted yet).

Where to eat...or not! / Different tavernas to try this year
« on: June 08, 2019, 11:43:46 AM »
I would like to try a few different tavernas this year in Plakias and have picked several but wonder about bookings required and value and views from the table:

Taverna Scirocco (It always looked full and busy before)
Taverna Kastro (I have a car to get there)
Taverna Panorama (Myrthios by car)
Antoni's Place (is this place more for lunch at the beach?)

Does anyone have any reports or experience of these places, as they all look like they have a sea view and very nice indeed?

Plakias / Taxis and return to Plakias
« on: April 30, 2017, 11:29:10 AM »
Hello fellow lovers of Plakias.
June the 10th is the date of my second visit to the lovely Plakias. On this visit, one day I would like to take a taxi to one of the other bays either side of Plakias for the day. Could anyone advise the best or appropriate method for the return trip? Would I phone a number or is there a rank/telephone box in Souda/Damnoni, or is it best to eat/drink at one of the tavernas and politely ask the staff to phone a taxi for me? My knowledge of the Greek language is near non-existent by the way.

I hope this post is not too trivial; I didn't get any Taxis last year but saw them waiting in the morning at the village seafront car park.
