Hi, first what a great site. This summer will be our first time ( all of us have one ) in Plakias, been to Crete before of course. We are making our own way there flights booked and 7 nights to start with in Paligremnos. Just got to get the car sorted, any ideas? Looking forward to our first visit and of course the far end of the beach.

Many thanks

Keef

I will repeat what I said in a fairly recent post :-

You have plenty of choice and I have been ringing the changes. I have had no problems with any company that I have used so my changing around has been at mere whims :-

I always used to go with Anso - Plakias - perfectly ok

Then for the last two years I went with Caravell - again perfectly ok - perhaps slightly more efficient at delivering a car than Anso but no big deal - no Plakias office of course.

This year I have booked with Alianthos. I like the look of their insurance - everything covered 100%., no excesses whatever the circumstances and even the underside of car, wheels and tyres covered. They also have a Plakias office.

Well you definitely don't need a car for that - just walk east.

Yes in May 2005
One of my best memories. and thus back this May again.

Warning:  
Most likely Plakias has a strange virus, which is not identified yet. I am going to investigate this further in depth.  Code/nick named "Plakianitis".  
When will you be there?
