Hi everyone

We have recently return from Plakias. We used Zaks taxis both from and back to Heraklionand the service was excelent. We are returning in September and have just emailed Zak to arrange the taxi from Heraklion. The website still does not appear to be working

Plakias / Plakias

Hi Everyone

Had a wee problem posting hope now have it sorted!
Although I am a new member found this forum a few months ago and have enjoyed reading the postings and viewing the photographs.
We have been going to the north of Crete since 1984 but only found Plakias in 2000. We love the island and its people and know that they have to earn their living but hope that Plakias does not become too commercialised like the north of the island.
We shall be "coming home" to Plakias in June and cannot wait dont care if it is windy!

Plakias / Plakias

No pervs?  Mmmm I think I can safely say i've noticed the odd one or two

In all seriousness, I truly believe that pervs are a fact of life, up with which we (naturists) have to put.  Annoying.

Faliraki - loos??  Council officials?  Blimey! - changed a bit since we were there then.

Vera Playa - we went there a lot in the 70's as my best friend has a house at Retamar - not naturist, sadly but does have a nice enclosed back patio where she removed the ubiquitous stone laundry sink from, to accomodate a couple of loungers.  (She was correct, we never did much laundry when we were there!)

I remember turning the telly on at home, one winter's day back then to see and hear David Bellamy telling me 'Here I am in the desert' - the prog was all about the Cabo de Gata which he told us was the only official desert in Europe.  And the Cape of the Cat lies between Almeria airport and Vera.  And in those days, the odd 'scorpio' in your shoe or under the sink, was the norm.  Not lethal by any means, but could give you a nasty nip if you didn't take care.  So as far as I am concerned, that explains the extremely mild climate.  But I have heard people say that Spring/Autumn in Vera can actually be quite rainy??

What's the weather like in Plakias in mid-May, then? - we might be able to squeeze a week between the two Bank Hols - should it be on our 'possible' list?
