Plakias / First visit to Plakias
« on: November 02, 2005, 10:10:39 PM »
Just like to say a big thanks to contributors to this board.
Never been to Crete before and was trying to decide where to spend the October half-term week with my wife and 2 kids. Having read the posts on here decided to go for Plakias.
Just back at the weekend and had a fantastic time. Weather was great and although a small number of places were closed for the season, it was far from "dead".
Went with Olympic and stayed at the Alianthos Beach - room was fine but the attached taverna is not the best.
Also ate at the following places:
Medousa - excellent
Muses - good food and very cheap
Gorgona - chose the "mixed fish" - was OK but have had better
Hired a car for the week from Alianthos (collected and returned to airport) - went smoothly and I would recommend them.
Days trips out to following places:
Knossos - long drive but worth it
Imbros Gorge - spectacular drive, great walk and few people around
Prevelli - beach is over-rated (best viewed from the top of the cliffs!)
It's going to be a long wait until next year!
