The train! Sadly missed for all the trips we went on, slow, relaxing, smelling the air, ideal to get to Myrthios, great for the Prevelli monastery, especially the lunch stop at Stelios Taverna in Lefkogia, meatballs in tomato sauce now just a distant, much loved memory!
Good news, off to Lesvos tomorrow, lots of ouzo to bring back, hopefully will get to Plakias when commitments allow.

I hope that plea was tongue in cheek :-[ . Trying to provide informed choice and a picture worth a thousand words etc. I have loads of photographs of Lesvos too, pity there does not seems to be decent forum.
Perhaps now you can see what you are missing you will be back in Plakias sooner. I am jealous of all that lovely Ouzo you will be drinking and bringing home, oh and beautiful Molivos.
Have a great time, wish I could afford Lesvos too this year. Chios is also fantastic, if you ever feel the urge ;)

Definitely large jealous tongue in large jealous cheek!
Love Plakias, just wishing I could be in 2 places at once, all the time.

Kalimera, madness, now the 5th Taverna has opened in the small village of Mirthios/Myrthios. In May, the Taverna Kapilio opened in Georgia's Kafepantopleiion.
Mirthios/Myrthios is 2 km from Plakias and 36 km from Rethymnon as the crow flies, at an altitude of 160 - 200 metres and has a wonderful, unobstructed view of the bay of Plakias and the Libyan Sea.
The local community of Mirthios comprises the settlements of Mirthios, Kalipso, Kampos, Kokkina Chorafia, Plakias and Finikas.
Mirthios has long ceased to be an insider tip. Especially in summer, Mirthios gets really busy in the evenings. Everyone wants to eat in the 5 tavernas (Panorama, Plateia, Dyonissos, Vrisi and Kapilio) in the evening and enjoy the panoramic view/sunset over Plakias.
Mirthios has now become very trendy and a little chic (gentrifaction), also thanks to the shops selling jewellery and clothes. Unfortunately, there is no longer a Kafenio. There used to be 2 quaint Kafenia in Mirthios. One was opposite the Dyonissos taverna, which was still called Myrthos at the time. Then there was Georgia's Kafepantopleiion. She was over 90 years old and died a few years ago.

Kalispera, I was in Mirthios today. Apart from the Dyonissos taverna, all the tavernas had already closed for the season.
