Plakias / Re: Parking for disabled

« on: June 12, 2016, 03:55:09 PM »

Thank you Arnaki very useful link for using the blue badge in different countries.
I notice from the webcams that most people are ignoring the parking restrictions but possibly there are still some occasional police patrols. Last year these were few & far between & most people were getting a warning that rippled through the village ahead of the patrol so that people could move their cars.
Whether disabled or able bodied we will all have a great time in Plakias as we always do.
Roll on August

Plakias / Re: Parking for disabled

« on: June 11, 2016, 12:28:01 PM »

Hi I am disabled & spend at least two holidays each year in Plakias. There are no disabled parking bays as such but last year when the parking rules came in we did try to respect it. My husband had a chat to a police officer & asked his advice. He said   park up where is easiest for you & if you do get a ticket take it to Rethymnon police station & it will be cancelled. Alternatively I get dropped off nearest to bar or tavern & Dave parks the car. We missed our spring holiday but hope to be back in Aug/Sept.
This may not be much help but i'm sure you will find a solution & enjoy. The beach front is flat & there are many seats that I rest on along the way. Also the local taxi guys are brilliant & helpful.
I hope you have a fantastic holiday & enjoy. Plakias is the best & the people are so friendly & helpful.
All the best.
Lesley

Suggest you ring just to make sure. The WiFi here has been a bit of a problem sometimes in the last 4 weeks.
Hope you have a great holiday when you get here.

You are welcome, anything that crops up before you arrive we will post.
By the time you arrive we will be back in the cold dull UK.
Have fun!!

The wind is certainly blowing & has been for about six days now, so unfortunate for those who are only here for a week. It's not cold though in sheltered places.

For info we learnt that the Rich & Famous is closed & only used for toilet facilities for the beach bar customers. It seems this place can't get going for some reason.

We also got around to trying the Cozy Backyard which was very pleasant. Situated almost opposite the pharmacy at the back of KC.
Opens at 5pm until whenever!! Only serves drinks but a real friendly atmosphere & welcome.

Work started yesterday on the Gorgona taverna, steel structure in place & working on it early this morning. It will be interesting to see how the work progresses during the next few days.
There are no sides in place yet except Muuses has green netting all around it, presumably to give a little protection from wind & dust.

Yes Barny we are still enjoying ourselves even though the traditional breeze arrived this week.
As you say everything is normal here so no problems to worry about.
Glad we had chance to catch up with you.

Come on all you Plakias lovers every thing is waiting for you, the resort has been busy & the weather has been good.
They need you.

U r welcome for the update & prices of food & drink are about the same but of course there is the 23% vat to be added on top.
As for buying us a drink in October unfortunately we will be back in the UK by the 1st, but it was a nice gesture.
Enjoy your holiday !!
