Plakias / Souda Beach Saison 2025
« Last post by kokkinos vrachos 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!!!

Best regards from Plakias, kv

Plakias / Laundry in Plakais
« Last post by kokkinos vrachos 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.

Where to eat...or not! / Taverna Throubi
« Last post by kokkinos vrachos on November 24, 2025, 07:30:09 AM »
Kalimera, Taverna Throubi /Ταβέρνα Θρούμπι (Throubi = savoury) is, for me, one of the two best tavernas in Plakais, along with Taverna Apanemo.

Even now, at the beginning of November, it's impossible to get a table at Taverna Throubi in the evening.

Where to eat...or not! / Kyma

Kalimera, the entire terrace, roof structure and bar area have been demolished. Only the rear area with the toilets remains.
An excavator was on site recently and new concrete has now been poured.
It is a complete renovation.

The deputy governor of Rethymno, Maria Lioni, believes that the only permanent solution is to build a tunnel.

In an interview with the private radio station Skai, she emphasised that the area is now heavily congested and, unlike in the past, the road is used by tens of thousands of people ? both locals and visitors. In the local newspaper Rethymniotika Nea, the regional politician emphasised that although the tunnel construction would incur considerable costs ? estimated at around 70 million euros ? its implementation was ?urgently necessary, as there is no other way to guarantee safe travel.?

Where to stay / Alianthos will undergo extensive renovation and extension work in winter 25/26
« Last post by kokkinos vrachos on October 23, 2025, 09:33:59 AM »
Kalimera, the Hotel Alianthos will undergo extensive renovation and extension work in winter 25/26.

Alianthos is not only undergoing (luxury) renovation, but is also getting an extension on the hillside and in the car park where the old Mercedes used to stand. Incidentally, the Mercedes is now parked about 30 metres south of Alianthos Garden.

Last week, the lawn on the main road between Hotel Alianthos, Butcher & Baker and the Syn.ka supermarket disappeared under a thick layer of gravel.

The site is now fenced off and there are three large shipping containers for machinery and materials, as well as an office container with electricity, telephone and water connections.

The two large trees in the hotel car park have been felled. The olive trees on the slope behind them are also gone, clear-cut.

Ta Leme, kv
