Title: 'Old' Plakias
Post by: Yvonne on June 19, 2003, 08:34:38 PM

Hi All
We first visited Plakias in 1992 (and have been every year since).  I have been browsing the 'Old Plakias' site and I wonder if this qualifies: Does anyone remember the cocktail bar in the road which runs alongside the Alianthos Taverna and hotel?  I think it was called the Blue Dolphin.  What happened to it?  Did it re-open under anoither name.  I would be interested to know.  Thanks.

I remember the Blue Dolphin well - it's the only place in the world I have ever done karaoke!

Several people tried to get it running - but the last I heard they were forced to close due to complaints about noise from people staying in the Alianthos.

I've not been up that street for years - love to know what happened to the building.

Thanks for the info, all.  I guess you win some and you lose some.

Hi, I have some fond memories of the Crazy Dolphin...the only place for an alternative Cretan night and some of the best Brown Cow cocktails ever (what was in a Brown Cow anyway or am I better off not knowing ?).
It was there in 1987 but I couldn't find it when I went back in 92 and haven't found it since (there's a film script in there somewhere...). I thought I was missing something..until I read this board and realised it is now an apartment !
