PlakChat / From Plakias to Shinaria beach....
« on: August 03, 2008, 05:35:54 PM »
Just back from another visit to Crete...and my first one to the Plakias area.
In previous years we've visited the northern part of this colourful island (Aghia Marina/Ghania, Stalis/Malia) and immediately fell in love...
but now especially on the southern part of Crete... namely the area in and around Plakias.
It was really superb and I particularly enjoyed the authentic area and people... hope it will not become too touristic in the near future!
Besides Plakias, I loved the Souda beach and especially the Shinaria beach. Both very close to Plakias, the beach itself as well as the trip (passing a variety of goats in the hills on our way to Shinaria) offer a great view and provide a great time!
Anyway, our plan is to get back there next year again and explore some more areas.
Take care....
Peter
UPDATE FEBRUARY 2009:
YESSSSSSS, here's the latest news: we're going back to this beautiful area in July/August 2009....
and this time we'll be going for a full 3 weeks...
allowing us to enjoy and explore this area even more!!
So who knows, we might be catching up then with some of you....
anyway, looking forward to July/August 2009.....
