Plakias
News and information about what's going on in town - let's keep up with the changes as they happen. Looking forward to hearing what's happening in 2006
Hi Paul
Wouldn't be easier for you to leave the date off, then you would'nt have to change it every year.
Just leave it as ........Looking forward to hearing what's happening.

Sorry, this should have gone into forum and website discussion etc... if you want to move it Paul, BMG.

Anyone remember Plakias??
With the introduction of something that's totally alien, the theme of this site seems to have been forgotten about

Could'nt agree more george

My feelings as well

Can't help people not posting George
Now that I have turned off the auto-posting I can't see the Arcade being intrusive at all, just ignore the link at the top right and the Arcade sub-forum.
If there is enough discontent around I will remove the sub-forum.
Can't say fairer than that (I think)

Thanks Paul
I wasn't critisising it, I've had a play as well as a lot of others, it's just that I felt that the feel of the site was being lost.

I understand, don't worry the novelty will wear off and it will settle down to a few 'hard-core' players battling it out in the arcade whilst the rest of the forum is blissfully unaware.

Plakias Addictive Disorder
{Mind you, I'm not too sure that that's a disorder (http://home.att.net/~lightning/smilies/fhdsmk.gif)}

I think that picture is the back-side of the harbour wall, going round towards Christos. (If the piccie was part of the where/what thread.)

Went to Paleochra in August last year we were not impressed, mind you it was a greek holiday I was hours looking for a place to stay and eventually got one which you can imagine, I suppose I should try again in June this year. Alex

I'm surprised anyone who likes Plakias doesn't like Paleohora. It has the same friendly feel to it and, arguably, at least as good a beach and selection of eating places. Being on the ferry route along the south coast is a plus.

Possibly it was because I was there at the busiest time of year as I said I struggled to get accomadation, Had to wait ages to get a table and a meal, I suppose I didnt give it a chance
the accomadation I finally got was terrible not the cleanest place and no air con in the middle of August, I stayed just 2 days and got the ferry back and returned to Plakias. Alex

I'm with you Alex, although we only stayed overnight, had a reasonably pleasant evening there and drove back the following day.
The accomadation we had was awful as well, maybe we should have given it a chance also.
Probably the fact that I had a flat tyre and had to get it fixed and got absolutely drowned in a torrential downpour in the mountains getting back to Choras Fakia didn't help either.

Plakias in September and Paleochora in May. Got to use up my annual leave allowance somehow... :-
which is what we're doing this year as well
Paleohora is somewhat bigger than Plak (IMHO) and the accommodation more mixed, we stayed the odd night in a slightly iffy room a few years ago but we taking no chances this time and have booked into some studios we have used before, almost in the centre of town and perfectly clean and modern.
we've got a few things penciled in already, including walks to sougia, elefonissi and selino in general
can't wait!

It would be nice if we could finally meet up in one place or t'other (or both!).
This will be my first trip to Paleochora so I'm somewhat nervous, not knowing where to stay etc. Greecemad has recommended the "Anonymous Homestay". Anyone else got any knowledge of other decent accomodation and also places to avoid?
Incidentally, Paleochora was recently featured in Virgin's top ten naturist beaches, along with Elafonisi.

Lovely place Noops and a great base for visiting both west and east of the town
ellefonissi is marvelous but you MUST NOT stop at the first beach, cross over the water and go up the headland, the father you go, the better it gets

We only visited Paleochora for 1 day and thought it was too busy for our liking. I imagine the improvements to the road from Chania have been finished now so it may attract more visiters this year.
The beaches were good, though and there was a greater variety of shops than in Plakias (IMHO).

I have heard that Elafonisi is lovely - certainly looks it in your photograph - somewhat reminiscent of the Caribbean. Who knows, I might get the urge to mosey on down and take a look for myself, if I can work how to get there...

Noopsy,
If you're staying in Paleochora, you can get a boat trip to Elafonissi.

Is that the new development? Is it really true? Didn't hear about it for so long, thought it would just go away

It's been up and running for a couple of years now Chris, I think one of our members has actually bought one!

I think it is more than one, who has bought. We have visit Plakias many times since 1999 and we love the place. Can not wait to move in.
