Hi there,

Welcome to the forum, you will find that a lot of useful info has been passed along and discussed in the past.

Make sure that the box at the bottom that currently says From: 60 Days is changed to Show All (Click Go) if you want to see older posts.
You can also use the search function.

Also of course the people here will be happy to answer any questions you have.

You may also want to look at the FAQ section (link at top right of page) although bear in mind that this has only just started and there is not a whole lot of info there just yet.

I'm afraid I cannot comment about Georgiopolis as I have not been there but Plakias offers for many an ideal destination. For me the balance is just right, lively enough but not too crowded and of course the spectacular coastline.

Cheers,

Paul

Hi
I usually stay in georgiopoulis but couldn't get in this year so we chose plakias as we stopped off for lunch one day and liked what we saw.

Holiday Companies / temperatures in plakias

« on: April 24, 2005, 09:53:34 PM »

We are going to plakias in august and wondered what the temperatures are like?  Does it go cool in the evenings because of the sea breeze?  Haven't been to crete in august before and don't know what to pack for evening wear.

Plakias / lamon aparthotel

« on: April 17, 2005, 08:46:39 PM »

Hi  
I've booked into the lamon aparthotel this summer and wondered if anyone has any info on location/standard of the apartments.  This will be my first time staying in plakias though we did stop off there for lunch in 2003 as we were out and about when we stayed in georgioupoulis.

Where to eat...or not! / Buying/Cooking Food in Plakias

« on: April 17, 2005, 04:06:51 PM »

Like you I'm a big fan of Guinness, but when in Town I stick to the Mythos.
No idea about the whatchamacallit or how much it is, but I would hazard a guess that it's not cheap!

I think it's called a widget and it injects nitrogen into the beer, not that that helps you find any. How much would a can be in Seattle, Jeff? My guess is that it will be a similar price in a Plakias supermarket to a UK supermarket.

I have seen the draught version in some bars in Greece so if you don't find it in Plakias (as has been reported) then if you make a visit to Rethymnon or Hania I'm sure it will be there.

The Greek beers seem to go with the ambience of the Greek Islands, even though I don't drink lager in the UK, and I think you will find they are better than US beers such as Budweiser (US version not the Czech) or Miller Light. As you mention Seattle microbreweries it may be that you are into real ale- if so all I can say is "Good Man"; give the UK a try sometime.

Why not try the local drinks such as retsina, raki, ouzo, or the excellent local red wine. Go easy on the raki and ouzo as in my opinion they have a high potential for giving a hangover!!

Whatever you end up drinking my bet is that you will enjoy it in Plakias.
