Plakias / Recommendations for car hire whilst in Plakias
« on: April 26, 2016, 04:27:20 PM »
Hi everyone,
We are taking a cheeky week in Plakias as we missed our spring break there this year.
Usually we rent a car for the airport but this time we're coming through Olympic so transfer is already paid for.
Could anybody on here recommend a good car hire firm in the village please.

Thanks in advance and if you're in Plakias May 24th for a week,we may see you there!

Have a great Summer

Plakias / Plakias at Easter 2015
« on: March 18, 2015, 09:47:08 AM »
We're heading off to Crete at the end of March,as we did last year..
This time we'll have Easter out there & have 5 nights in Plakias over that weekend..
Last year the weather was great so hopefully it will be the same this time around..
We will also stay in Rethymno for a couple of nights when we arrive to see the sights..
All very reasonable helped by the time of year & the currency exchange rate..car hire from the airport is just under £8 per day for a small car..
We can't wait..
Hope it's the beginning of another great season for all of us..
Yammas!

PlakChat / We're back (again) October 2014
« on: September 24, 2014, 11:39:03 AM »
Hi everyone,
I have enjoyed reading the Forum posts,so thought I'd say hi.
My partner (Annie) & I fell in love with Plakias back in October 2010 & have been back every October since.
We have always stayed at Costas Chrysoulas & came with olympic..good old Les!

We decided to come out in late March this year,to enjoy Crete before the season started..
I hired very cheap flights & a car online from Heraklion airport & 2 nights at hotel Sofia in Plakias for starters.

It was one of the best holidays we've ever had..
The Hotel opened just for us on the first night..we started the season for them & as the only guests had the choice of Room & views.
On the second morning we discovered that there were 2 other German couples also,so we had to share the breakfast!..lol

Gio Ma had just opened which was great for us but not a lot else was tbh.
Walking through the town,everyone was frantically painting their tavernas or businesses.
There were a few Germans but I'm not sure we met any English people,not that it mattered.

We went up to 'on the rocks' to find Nikos painting the tin roof of the bar terrace white..
He was hoping  this would reflect the heat better then the black paint which had always been the case.
He stopped for a beer of course & opened that evening..

The spring flowers were amazing & had there been snow we would have enjoyed seeing it on the mountains...sadly it didn't snow last Winter..

Driving was a pleasure..we went from Plakias to Frangocostello,which is about an hour west & saw only 4 cars coming the other way!.

We stayed in Plakias for 4 nights in all,then 2 nights in a mill & one in Chania.

We're flying out to Chania October 19th & then driving down to stay at 'on the rocks' for five nights before driving west to explore.

If anyone reading this is out at the same time,it would be nice to share a beer & a few stories..or a story & a few beers of course!.

Trevor & Annie.
