Plakias / Far End

« on: September 21, 2016, 04:32:53 PM »

On previous trips to Plakias, mainly in July, it has been a pleasure to walk along to the Far End at 9:30 - 10:00 and find sun loungers available, even on the front row. Why is it that in September, yes when it's busier possibly, people feel the need to go along before the sun has risen - I know this because I witnessed it during an early morning run - and 'reserve' their sun loungers by putting towels on them? On one particular occasion someone had put towels on a pair of sun loungers, very early, and then did not appear until nearly 12:00. They then left, with everything for the day, about 1.1/2 hrs later! I along with a number of other people were staggered at the selfish behavior they exhibited in doing this. I'm sure this topic has been discussed previously, but until people are brave enough to remove unused towels and claim the sun loungers for themselves, this will continue. I think that there should be a time cut off point, say 10:00am, and if no one has come to use the sun loungers by then, then they are up for grabs. Luckily this practice doesn't happen at Souda beach.

Plakias / Re: September update

I was in Plakias for the first 2 weeks in September and ate a Sirocco 3 times. I found the new owners to be friendly and trying hard. The orange cake given with the bill was absolutely delicious. I found the food to be as good as most other restaurants, but my only reservation was the timing of the main course after a starter course. At times the main arrived before the starter was completed! I'm sure with practice and peoples continued patronage the mew owners will be successful.
