Where to go / Kallikratis road- question for Harribobs

« on: August 03, 2009, 01:16:24 AM »

Hi there Chris and anyone else who can help me, I seem to remember you posted some photos of the road to Kallikratis a while back, but can't seem to find them. When returning from Loutro two weeks ago, the taxi driver from Sfakia diverted with my sister in law and her husband to Kallikratis to pick up his brother who completed the drive to Heraklion. They were a bit disconcerted to say the least, and are not usually worried about winding roads. However at one point they appeared to be rolling back, and the driver said he could not put the aircon on or the car would not make it up. I assume they were on the road you posted- what do you think? Have you still got a picture or link to one? Thanks, Alison.

Gossip / Plakias in May

« on: June 12, 2008, 08:57:10 PM »

While staying in Loutro over the May half-term we hired cars and had a lovely day out to Plakias where we celebrated our 20th wedding anniversary with lunch at Sofia's (Nikos looks great and is as welcoming as ever) and a swim near the far end even though my husband and son had a serious problem with the current there about three or four summers ago-have never experienced it before or since but makes you respect the weather and the sea. We got a bit stuck down the road to Plakias from Selia which was closed but no sign! Never mind, all part of the experience. It was such a nice day and as we came away, as always, we knew we would love to return. Wishing all of you who are lucky enough to be going this year a lovely time,
