PlakChat / Plakias - Heraklion airport
« on: March 14, 2011, 11:19:35 AM »
Has anyone 0f you used this route from iraklio to plakias? We think about an alternative as we drove the "New Road" so many times in the past that it became our "Old Road".
Google maps says 2:58 hrs for this but I think this is a little bit optimistic ...

Thank you for posting this! I hope they will give the forest time to heal before the  masstourism will be allowed to trample down the fresh green...

cheers!

Paradise is lost.
No daily cruises to preveli anymore.

A man died in Rodakino. I heard about another fire west of plakias. Can anyone confirm this?


So sad!

beginning 80s, but mostly the 50s-70s. All Greek, 15€

I'm just reading "Just Kids" by Patti Smith.  
From Brooklyn to Chelsea Hotel, a Life of Art and Friendship (English Edition)

"Smith's evocative, honest and moving coming-of-age story reveals her extraordinary relationship with artist Robert Mapplethorpe. Part romance, part elegy, "Just Kids" is about friendship in the truest sense, and the artist's calling."

A wonderful piece of paper!

Where to go / No ships to gavdos ...
« on: July 05, 2010, 10:23:54 AM »
We planned to spend a few days on the island this time but unfortunately the ships which used to serve the route to gavdos lost their license due to new european safety-standards:
We will make it on our own with our little red rubberboat ...

Plakias / New harbour
« on: June 17, 2010, 09:58:47 AM »
Hello Chris,

where there any "new trips" going out from the new harbour? Rumours said that Plakias may be part of the Chora Sfakion - Loutro - Paleochora - Route soon ...
Would the new harbour be suitable for ships sized like the Daskalogiannis? We'll be there in July.

Plakias / Summer work in Plakias....am I dreaming?
« on: May 03, 2010, 09:22:12 AM »
Many years ago when we first hit the island we asked a busdriver ff he would make it all the way down to a place we called "pla-kee-as". What? Where? The man thought for a while and then he shouted out: Aaah: plá-dczia ! Yes! We go to Plá-dczia! As he was from crete origin we use to speak it like this when we play that we are sophisticated ...
Maybe a topic for a pleasent voting?

BTW: We heard very different pronounciations of another very important word: raki
From "Radcz" til Ra-kee" Which version do you use?
