Without wishing to prolong this digressionary discussion, I have to say that, last year, I leant more to Cecile's thoughts but, Dimitri, although you seem to know a fair bit about the area and the people, your posts for whatever reason, paint a very different picture to the one most members have. It's worth remembering that the reason the forum exists and thrives is that the vast majority of its members have had good experiences in Crete and Plakias in particular. Nice as the location is, it's the friendliness of the whole community, tourists and locals, that make it for us. We'll be back in September and I've no doubt we will have a great time and come back with more memories to cherish.
