Just had our last lunch at Muses, had a wonderful sea bass.
back home at Loutra and flying home to Belgium at fridaymorning.
today almost no wind in Plakias. Monday was a problem to sit at the sea without getting sandblasted.

That's more like it !......looking forward to being there from 18th Sept and yup, I can pretty much guess where we'll be on the first night...probably the Gorgona with Babis having tested the cocktails at the Ostraca ! That's all part of the fun !

Just eaten and drunk (excuse the typing) at the kafeneio. Beautiful weather, nice breeze, calm seas, usual frindly welcome. Just wanted to make Barny jealous.

Hi All

Frantically doing sums, to work out if we can possibly squeeze another week in Plakias.
If we can, it won't be until last week Sept or 1st week October - we have never been at that time of year, as we always go June or July.
What's it like weather-wise etc?
Presume a lot of the Tavernas shut down about then?
Any of you regulars who go at that time, what's it like?

That is about our normal time to visit though sadly not this year due to our fantastic Easter vist. Weather should be excellent without extreme heat. Might have an occasional rainy day. Most places if not all places still open. Might be very busy as it has become a popular time. Next year we have booked for exactly that period.

We have been there several times in September and even until the end of October.  Occasional day of rain at the end of October.  The majority of the tavernas and cafés stay open until the end of October.  We love that period and are sad we cannot go a second time this year.  You will not regret it8

Hmmm sorry if this comes up as two posts ! Not sure what happened there !
I agree with John. We are usually there in September/early October due to birthdays and we've only ever had one storm and two rainy days in over 20 years. Nothing seems to close early and although a little cooler, the ambience is just the same. If you're there for the 27th Sept you even get the Tourism Festival which is a real treat. Who knows...might see you there.

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

The conditions at present are much as what you might expect during September:  not too hot, very little wind, but...loads of free sunbeds at the far end!  ;)

We nearly always visit early May or late September/early October. Still plenty of (all?) tavernas open on previous visits; we're off again on 21st Sep so I guess we'll see if this year is the same.

Hi All

Anyone there at the moment?
What's the weather like, according to the Prevali weather website it is scorching (over 30 deg) and very little wind.
Just wondered how accurate this is.
Regards
Sylvia

Yep. Just before midday on 12 September. Extremely hot with no wind. http://www.accuweather.com/en/gr/plakias/185968/hourly-weather-forecast/185968 (http://www.accuweather.com/en/gr/plakias/185968/hourly-weather-forecast/185968) has it about right.

Hi Guys
Do you get many mosquitos around Plakias in September?
We are toyiny with the idea of trying September next year and not early July as normal.
