Here we go again. Manchester flights with Germania at 8am on Tuesdays and returns at 3.35pm has once again been changed. 06.15 am with Small Planet and return moved to 1.10pm again with Small Planet.
So glad we booked a night in a hotel the night before. Have to inform car parking company and our hire car of change (yet again).

Early to end of June this year. Because I am retired and can choose we tend to do June and then late September to early October with a Spring and winter break elsewhere. May is a beautiful month. Enjoy your holiday.

There is Monza and Alianthos in Plakias. Probably not very helpful but because my lovely other half is not the speediest at making her mind up, we missed the cheap flights. So Olympic for us too as it is cheaper than budget flight and independent booking. Sorry will get to the point. We still book a car from the airport as cannot stand long coach Transfer and are free to stop along the way. Dimitris again AutoRentals Crete.

Thank you. I will see what I can do. Things were fairly complete when I was there late September October - I think one unit hadn't started but was about to ( not to sure of that - memories blurred.
Thank you John, very kind. Thank you too Micky for the information. I could see the Gorgona has metal beams over their space, so probably finished soon. Great choice of accommodation. Love the food and, the grill and the raki there but can never eat from second week of July through to late September as it is too Smokey (Germans and French mostly), had a bad Asthma attack there two years ago and three days in hospital 😞. It is a problem in a few places to be honest, a pity as it is one of the nicest places and as its name suggests sheltered from the Strong winds. Jealous of you both being in Plakias for Easter.

You could message Jeroen and John R is visiting this week.
Perhaps one of both could post a photo or two.
Pretty please.
Have a great time John 😁
Nothing like a visit during Easter.

We use the Ryanair App to check in....It is available for Android and Apple products, do not know if it is available for Windows phones and Tablets.
Set up an account on the app and you can check in electronically from any free Wi-Fi and no need to print boarding pass as you download it to the app. Both Chania and Heraklion airports accept it and just scan the barcode on the screen. You can print the pass from the app if you can find a printer whilst away. Works really well and a good backup if you have already printed your boarding pass. Just visit the App store on Apple devices and the Play store on Android

Voloudakis, Thanks for the pictures, sad to see the changes, progress some would call it!
Is the fact you have posted the pictures reason to make us all jealous? Are you in Plakias now?

What is the update on the taverna buildings that were damaged last May? When we were there in October, some had been partially rebuilt, but lots more work needed to finish.

We won't be in Plakias until this October as we have decided on a new Greek destination for this June, Agios Nikolaos, near Kalamata, Mani peninsula. Still seeking another destination to rival Plakias, having discovered Mytiline (Lesvos) a few years back.
If you are in Plakias (damn you!) have a Fix or Mythos for me.

Hi I am not in Plakias but wish I was. We love the Mani and also visit Lesvos which is another favourite place. I expect you may know at least four of our friends on Lesvos. Melinda and Theo, who run the Captain's Table in Molyvos and Alison and Costas in Anaxos who own accommodation, a Taverna and a car hire firm.

Stelios is opening another souvlatzidiko not far from the old one, but I do not know exactly where 😄.
Traffic will increase I fear and too many people will spot the two best places to eat and drink in Plakias.
Wonder if the wind will get stronger now that it does not have to go round a tight corner.

Souvlaki hut is no more. Demolished on the 31st of March but a new place is opening elsewhere.

I never did say. We ate there twice last time we were in Plakias. Enjoyed our meals, the friendliness and the Taverna itself.
Will eat there again on our next visit.
Our favourite places are in no particular order. Minoiko, Gio-Ma, Paligremnos and Taverna Mariou.

Sorry for delay. Yes the new Taverna is on the left in Sellia/Selia
Photograph of owners, you can probably tell the position by the background.

First photo taken June 1st 2015

Donated! Many thanks to Richard for keeping us all updated. I am amazed at how fast the clean up is going.
