Hi All,

We're looking to have our first visit to Plakias in early June.  The hotel we are looking at is called Secret Nest. I was just wondering if any of you regulars had stayed there, or if you know of the place?

Any advice / opinions gratefully recieved as we are supposed to be booking up tomorrow.

Thanks alot, and maybe we'll see you there !!!

Rich

Don't know what the accommodation is like but the family run Secret Nest Taverna serves some of the best fish in town.  It's located on an unmade side road close to the harbour.

Regards,

Allan

Agreed Alan.
Secret Nest has a small menu - but if you fancy fish, just go along and ask what's good that night - you won't be let down.
I've never stayed there, but it is right next to Dora, where we've been staying the last few years, and is a good spot.
I know that they do have their regulars staying there - which is always a good sign.

My brother stayed there many times and I was there from Toronto in july 2001.
Will be seeing them on may 21st for a few days
then will move to souda bay  which is a 25 min walk from  town.
plakias is a fine place to choose.

Is it to the right as you face Dora Studios? If so, then the taverna is open.

Dear Reddiablo,

Hi Roger, this is Lesley.  We met at Thomas's funeral.  Have just returned from a week at the Secret Nest.  It has been difficult to go back since that time but there remain many very happy memories there.  There are still a number of Thomas's pictures pinned behind the bar at the Nest and many people who still remember him fondly.

Niko is now running the Secret Nest.  They didn't appear to be serving food but we were there probably just before the real season gets going.  It remains basic but very friendly.  Although no air conditioning they have at last invested in fans!  There are basic cooking facilities in each room.  It is good value for money - cheap and cheerful!

The only problem is Niko has a young family that are very noisy and arrive at the taverna early a.m. - not good for nite owls!!  Stella (Niko's wife) has her mother living just across the road and they don't seem to need a telephone to communicate - get the picture??  A typical Greek cacophony of noise - part of the charm!

If you want to contact me directly my email is - lesley.eATorange.net - I am on MSN Messenger and Skype.  Look forward to hearing from you.

All my very best wishes,

Lesley

George,

We have just come back from staying at the Nest and confirm it is open and fully functional.  Niko, the guy now running it, can be contacted on 00 306 972 244173.

Have fun.
