Quote from: daffyduckHello all, we're planning on staying in some apartments in the village of Mirthios in late September. We will have a car but won't want to use it too much in the evenings.
Is Mirthios a nice village? How easy is it to get to Plakias from there? Will we be able to go to busyish tavernas etc? Any information at all welcome!
Yes - Mirthios is a very nice village with incredible views all round - especially of Plakias which lies hundreds of feet seemingly straight below you.
This all depends on how fit you are. There is a VERY steep path / track down to Plakias suitable on foot - some vehicles - mainly local also use it. The main road route winds round and is a bit far for walking on a regular basis. This steep track is also a bit iffy for navigation in the dark unless you know it well. You have to be careful not to slip going down and it is a seemingly long steep pull upwards. I would be happy to walk up and down it on occasions but some people won't be happy with that. I might tire of doing it every evening though. There are a couple or so of nice tavernas in Mirthios so you might not need to do that treck every evening. The overall distance is not a big problem (in my opinion) just the steepness.
We are in Plakias late September so our paths may cross on that steep slope.
