I normally go to Plakias every August and have done for the last 29 years but unfortunately I was unable to make it this August. I decided to have a week in September. I am amazed as to the amount of rooms that are fully booked.We went last year in early September as we always do and couldn't get our usual room at Calma apartments as they were full-the first time this has happened. Generally busy on the beaches when we were there but strangely rather quiet around the tavernas in the evening. We're off again on the 22nd of this month and will do an update then.
Is it really that busy in September? is the beach full (far end) and all the tavernas ETC?
i am going to wait until next August now as it's guaranteed to be nice and quiet.
Have a good one everybody!

We were there for the storm last Sunday 25th-woken by thunder at 3am and the storm lasted until midnight. At one point during the afternoon saw a tornado out to the east. So much mud came down the river that the sea was brown to about half a mile out-easily covering the bay-it looked just like Cleethorpes!Quote from: PloppyI'm with you Paul, I've seen some incredible storms while in Plakias, and in some respect they're a welcome relief from the continuously hot blistering sunshine.Quote from: mandie cookIt rained a lot in Plakias last week.....
Blimey! Still rather be there than here though
I do feel for the locals though who have to clear up afterwards.
I think it's odd as well that in the aftermath of a storm people will still try and dodge the puddles even with flip flops or sandals on!
