We went in August, and booked with Olympic holidays only 2 weeks before. We never got asked for passport info before we got to Gatwick. Strange!?

Plakias / Lefteris-The Doughnut man is back!
« on: August 25, 2009, 07:29:14 AM »
His patter when we were there the other week was "A doughnut a day keeps the viagra away!". Absolutely cracked us up. I wonder where he learnt that!

Oh, I have just been reminded that I nearly ran over my wife in the process! Bit bruised and scratched but otherwise OK.

Meanwhile, back at the apartments.....
Can anyone tell me what they provide in the way of crockery, cutlery, kettle etc...? Or more to the point, what they DON'T provide that you thought they should/might?
Thanks
Bob

That's fine, but I can't seem to be able to find out if they're air-conditioned - a bit of a must in August, in my experience.
Can anybody help me here please???
Thanks
Santa Maria is rated as 2 star but that doesnt mean they wont have A/C, try phoning Olympic, unless someone here has stayed there. If they have A/C you might need to pay extra. Failing all that buy an electric fan when out there, they're not too expensive
There is a very efficient air conditioning system at the Santa Maria. Just ask the owner and he will make it available for a daily , weekly or longer rate. I have forgotten how much it was last year .
You will have to find him during the day as there is nobody around later in the evening.
Enjoy your stay.

Thanks for that travellingran. I'll book it then. Can't wait!! Only 2 weeks.......

Hi George,
We left Plakias in the early hours of the 22nd August, so we probably overlapped a bit. Have a look at my "mafioso" photo that I posted this morning - maybe you saw us slumped somewhere.
Still, I'm already being badgered by my Domestic Manageress to book again for next year, so maybe we can share a few mythos then. We have to go in August because she works in a school - Priory in Lewes; you may know it, being from the neighbourhood.

While we were there, the wife decided she didn't like the stuff, so I had double helpings every evening. Strangely, I didn't complain!
Never thought to bring any back though. Probably wouldn't have had space or weight allowance for it anyway, and with my luck it would probably have burst all over the inside of the case. Happened once before with Southern Comfort I seem to remember.....

Don't think we came across "On the Rocks". Where is it? Maybe we just ignored it on the basis it sounded too English.
Another one for the list is the taverna Castro (or I think that's what it was called) - yellow building up the hill a bit behind the town. Lovely views across the bay without too much of a climb. Always planned to go back and have a meal there but it didn't quite happen.

You will find comments about three bars on the article system where the contents of these discussions should perhaps be lodged. Our favourite bar is Livicon - perhaps best for those who like comfort and relative quiet.

Sorry, didn't see that. I'll add Nufaro to that list.
Thanks

As a newbie, I've been browsing the site and can't find anywhere that discusses peoples favourite bars, either for that afternoon cold beer in the shade or for a few nightcaps in the evening.
I've read a lot about Ostracos, which we found OK, but personally we favoured Antonios (is that the right name??) on the way back from the beach and NuFaro in town for the evening. The latter is run by Joe who is very friendly and ably assisted by a young lady from NZ whose name eludes me at the moment. Service was excellent and apparently he stays open most of the night, if that's your thing.
Anybody got any other favourites?

Personally I found the Amstel seemed to be gassier than the Mythos, so I preferred the latter. I also assumed that the Amstel wasn't local, so again I chose the Mythos.

Plakias / Where do you sunbathe?
« on: August 20, 2007, 09:39:26 AM »
As a first timer in Plakias, it took a week to pluck up the courage to go to the far end - after that, we never looked back! Best bit of the beach and no white bits. We were there in august and I would say that the vast majority of people were nude.

I can only see 2 on the map, but anyway theres 1 at the Allianthos Beach hotel, two dotted alog the main drag between there and the bridge and one at the town hall. To be honest, I didn't use the town hall one but other people seemed to be doing OK there.
