PlakChat / flights
« on: August 21, 2014, 02:19:19 PM »
Easyjet flights....just noticed, Easyjet are flying Gatwick to Heraklion throughout November, making the season longer. I wonder how much of Plakias knows this, and will stay open?  Also the flights seem reasonably priced

Plakias / Re: Chania airport to Plakias
« on: July 28, 2014, 07:44:09 PM »
Its an easy drive, you don,t have to go near Hania, just follow the road from the airport down to Souda, then pick up the main coastal highway east to Rethymnon, take the Spili turn-off, before Rethymnon turn off....easy, no probs

Plakias / Re: Fresh Bread...?
« on: June 02, 2014, 10:22:28 PM »
The bakery opposite "Ostraco" was a "bake-off" unit, sourced from the main bakers, on the road out of Plakias, towards Lefkogia. The same bakery now operates the new "pizza from the wood oven" opposite "Sofia Restaurant", and sells the same cakes and bread as previously. The baker said the change was due to bank problems, possibly the same problems that closed the main bakery for part of last year.

We had a really great week, made even sweeter by the bargain price. Dora's was immaculate, we ate all over, the best meal was at Selia, next to the jewel's with the old BMW & sidecar, sorry can't remember the name. Also had a excellent night at Panorama, Myrthios, good live music and great atmosphere. Weather not bad, little breezy. The only downside was the Olympic rep's meeting....inarticulate and inaccurate, complete waste of an hour. He didn't even know the summer bus timetables were in use the next day!

Yes, we booked for 6May  from east Midlands @ £122, thought that was a fantastic bargain, then next day Olympic reduced to £103, consequently, we have a bargain, but we have lost our bragging rights!

I am intrigued with the idea of moving a Skegness Arcade to Plakias....or maybe we should move the pitta gyros shop to Skeggy!  How about residential caravans on Timeos Stavros... perhaps they would roll down hill to Happimag...might even be an improvement! I,ll be out in May and October.

Sad to say,but nowadays car hire is cheaper than motorcycle....and for two or more people,its also cheaper than buses. But bikes are more fun!

Yes that's the place. I think the bikes outside are an advert rather than a practical ride. They usually bring bikes in from another depot when I have used them. Its worth an email or tel.call

Suggest you try Monza travel. They usually have several large singles,Yamaha 660cc or MZ or BM W,s. If it worries you, the helmets provided don't offer much protection.

I may be there...havn't booked yet as problems in UK. Late October has been a regular time for us, its a very different Crete. Yes , places are closing for the winter, but at a leisurely pace. There is still plenty of choice and the locals have time to stop and talk. The weather is usually ok, the sea is at its warmest, and there is no competition for sun beds, although on some beaches there are no sunbeds. Have a great time.

we were in plakias until mid Nov last year, and although some places had closed, there was still a reasonable choice. The weather was pretty good, although the air temp is not as high, the sea water is like a bath....Oct. is good

Can anyone explain why there is such an outcry over Greece....but Detroit going bust is a small problem?

I,ll wager that it will have no effect in Plakias!
