Where to eat...or not! / Re: Minoiko

« on: October 19, 2012, 05:47:30 PM »

Let's just hope we can help to spread the word and people try the place for themselves. We all know they won't be disappointed and will for sure return.

Well we did exactly that last night. Without the forum we would have walked right by. An empty taverna  at 8pm is not a great selling point. As Plakias is still busy we would normally assume that customers had voted with their feet. Anyway the food was great, the service good and the taverna well appointed. Another couple arrived just before we left but Minoiko is going to struggle to establish itself because of its location..

Sorry not to have said Hello, Stuart & Hilary - the other couple was us!  Our first time at Minoiko, and we only went because of this forum.  We ordered fried zucchini, meatballs, green beans in tomato sauce and village sausage with onions and peppers - especially good.  With a carafe of red wine - 23.50 euros.  Very good food and service with a free raki - shame it was only us in.
We went again on the 14th October, with only us in apart from family, the special was beef in tomato sauce - lovely - and couldn't resist the village sausage again.  We shared courgette croquettes - fantastically light and tasty.  With the wine the total was 20 euros, and a free raki and raisins in syrup!  Hope this will encourage people to try it out now and in 2013 - all being well. 
Have to mention the "mikra", a lovely girl with excellent English.
Have to have sausages for tea now!
Regards, Jim & Pauline.

Plakias / Car hire for 2012

« on: July 20, 2012, 11:45:42 AM »

Morning folks.
Although a newbie to this forum, we have been coming to Plakias on and off since 1990. 
For the last few years we have stayed in Plakias, but then hired a car for a few days, to get out and about. 
Can anyone confirm that there are still a few car-hire companies in Plakias itself - and if they are likely to still be open in October?  An idea of price for 7 or 10 days would also be handy.
Many thanks.
