Where to stay / Re: Accommodation for Single Travellers
« on: May 14, 2026, 07:21:13 AM »
Kalimera, when booking accommodation as a solo traveller, you usually pay a higher price all over the world, not just in Plakias. If you book accommodation for two, you simply split the cost (just like with a hire car ? it?s always cheaper that way).
There are a few places to stay (Stella, GioMa...) that rent out rooms quite cheaply to solo travellers, especially in the off-season.
The best thing, of course, is always to view the accommodation in person. Otherwise, I?d have a look on Booking.com.

Plakias / Re: Kourtaliotiko Gorge
« on: May 09, 2026, 06:27:40 AM »
Kalimera, yesterday, an on-site inspection was conducted in the Kourtaliotis Gorge by Efthimios Lekkas, professor of natural disaster management and president of OASP, following a request from OFYPEKA, with the aim of assessing issues related to visitor safety.
By the end of next week, the controlled access system at Kourtaliotis Gorge is expected to be operational to improve safety and management.

Yassou Davos, two weeks ago I asked the owner when he was opening; he said in May ? but was hoping for earlier. Over the last few days, there have usually been 10 workers on site....

Where to eat...or not! / Update To Kyma (April 2026)
« on: April 02, 2026, 11:15:56 AM »
Kalimera Davos, I walked past the Kyma yesterday afternoon. A new extension has been built in front of the old rear section of the building. Work was still underway on the roof structure for the terrace.
It looks as though it will be a while yet before it opens... My guess is that it won?t be ready in time for Orthodox Easter/Greek Easter.

Kalimera Barny, the prices seem a bit too cheap to me. In the non-nudist area at Paligremnos Beach, the price charged by the various providers last year was ?10.

Kalimera, this year, too, there is a daily visitor limit of 1,000 people at the Kourtaliotiko Gorge. I still think that?s far too many.
According to local authorities, the model has helped reduce pressure on the landscape while allowing visitors to enjoy the area under more controlled and sustainable conditions.

Since Monday, 16 February, the Kourtaliotiko Gorge has been closed to traffic again due to construction work.
According to the district government, the gorge is to be reopened to traffic in May for the tourist season.
Construction work is then scheduled to resume at the end of October.

Plakias / Souda Beach Saison 2025
« on: December 06, 2025, 11:10:34 AM »
Kalimera, Welcome to the Cyclades!
At Souda Beach (near Plakias) at the Taverna Delfini, a gazzebo bed (those cosy, wide, covered beds) cost a whopping ?30 this season!!! Two normal sun loungers/parasols cost ?10.
A bottle of water costs ?1.80 in the Taverna. A basket of bread costs between ?4.20 and ?4.80. Cappuccino from the bar costs ?3.50.
Mythos beer 0.3 on tap costs ?4, 0.5 costs ?5.50. A bottle of Fix 0.5 costs ?5.50. A bottle of Kaiser 0.5 costs ?6.
Salads: between ?7.70 and ?11.
Starters: Fava ?7.40! Tzatziki ?5.90.
The portions are rather small and more expensive than in other Taverns. However, there are also many positive reviews.
(The family Taverna Delfini has leased its tavern this year.)
At Taverna Galini/Beach Bar Galini, a normal sun lounger and parasol cost between ?7 and ?10. Depending on the mood.
In previous years, guests of the beach bar could use the sun loungers free of charge.
At the beach bar, a 250 ml iced coffee cost ?6.50!!!

Plakias / Laundry in Plakais
« on: December 04, 2025, 06:43:40 AM »
Kalimera, yes, there is a laundry opposite the Hotel Sofia.
If you turn into the small street at Corner Giropita & Souflaki, the laundry is on the left-hand side. There is also a sign (laundry) above the door.

Kalispera Barny, yes, when it was windy, it was a little breezy under the covered terrace. That's why everything is being redone.
