Hello all, we're planning on staying in some apartments in the village of Mirthios in late September.  We will have a car but won't want to use it too much in the evenings.
Is Mirthios a nice village?  How easy is it to get to Plakias from there?  Will we be able to go to busyish tavernas etc?  Any information at all welcome!

Yes - Mirthios is a very nice village with incredible views all round - especially of Plakias which lies hundreds of feet seemingly straight below you.

This all depends on how fit you are. There is a VERY steep path / track down to Plakias suitable on foot - some vehicles - mainly local also use it. The main road route winds round and is a bit far for walking on a regular basis. This steep track is also a bit iffy for navigation in the dark unless you know it well. You have to be careful not to slip going down and it is a seemingly long steep pull upwards. I would be happy to walk up and down it on occasions but some people won't be happy with that.  I might tire of doing it every evening though. There are a couple or so of nice tavernas in Mirthios so you might not need to do that treck every evening. The overall distance is not a big problem (in my opinion) just the steepness.

We are in Plakias late September so our paths may cross on that steep slope.

PlakChat / What's it like in October?
« on: March 12, 2008, 11:27:56 AM »
Hello!
I am thinking of going for the first time in October and I wondered if anybody could tell me what the weather is likely to be like then?
I'd like to be able to sunbathe and swim - will it be possible?
Thanks!
