We always go at least once. It's a lovely place - very charming and always good value.

We like Monarch too, but they seem to have their best flight times (well, best for *us* that is!)

We started making our own travel arrangements after a particularly bad year with Olympic. A pity because we had been happy at Dora Studios.

There's one odd left junction but it's an easy drive :-)

Very odd. We had a simply delicious chicken meal, and a splendid veggie one, the last time we were there.

I agree. I think we've been paying *roughly* the same for the last few years.

I'm amazed. We have had nothing but good service in Sofia.

We like Harakas a lot and use it as often as possible. But reserving tables could get very tedious if it catches on.

And what's with all this RESERVED tables? Where are we..? London..? Every night tables booked at Harakas and other places! Really, if that's what you want then you are holidaying in the wrong country

Plakias / Re: Fresh Bread...?
« on: June 04, 2014, 03:46:19 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.
Thanks - that's good to know :-)

« on: June 02, 2014, 02:42:57 PM »'Sort-of'. There is a small area of the original Platia bar to the front and right-hand side, as you face it, that is still the Platia bar, as far as I can see. The left-hand side looks like a clothes shop, of some sort.
I used to like the place a lot, but in recent years I thought that it started to try to be something that it wasn't. Seems to be a trend developing? (See similar comments re Medusa and Siroco elsewhere on this forum.) Is it what people want? Not for me, but I suppose that time will tell. Perhaps I am just getting old and grumpy!

Plakias / Fresh Bread...?
« on: May 29, 2014, 08:59:17 AM »
Is the bakery (the one opposite Ostraco) open again this year? Last year when we were there it was closed 'for refurbishment' - and we missed our fresh bread each morning!
Is it back in business...?

Where to eat...or not! / Re: Harakas !
« on: June 16, 2013, 09:39:24 AM »Just back from Plakias and our first port of call was Harakas for dinner.
As been stated, the layout of Harakas has changed over the last year.
Part of the old site was taken over by a travel company and we feared for what we may find on our visit this year.
But Sonja and Lambros were able to obtain extra footage at the other side,next to Kri Kri, so the overall size of the place has not been altered.
Now one half is under cover whilst the other half is open to the air.
We felt that this was a much better arrangement and that the changes enforced on Sonja have in fact benefitted her !!
Food , as always , was excellent.
Portion size ?
Never was or is a problem.
Service warm and welcoming.
Will always be the first place we eat at each year we return to Plakias.
Same here!!
