« Last post by kokkinos vrachos on March 06, 2026, 06:58:14 PM »

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.

I was there for a few beers last September, so yes!  Think Dennis is taking a back seat/retired but was still around.

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.

Best regards from Plakias, kv

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