First visit to Plakias

[Armoredbrummy]

Hi all!

Me and my wife are going on a 2 week holiday to Plakias in July this year.We are self-confessed Grecophiles,but we are usually in the Ionians when we go away,apart from the two occasions we've been to Rhodes.
    I have been to Crete before,but that was back in 1988 with 9 workmates and we stayed in Aghios Nikolaos,the rest of the holiday was an alcohol-induced blur!
    We're staying in Lamon Aporthotel (I'm sure you'll have lots of things to say about that!),but all we require in accomodation is somewhere to put our weary heads down for the night, and somewhere to wash, etc.
    From what I've read and seen about Plakias, I'm sure we're going to have a great time as we don't do "Rowdy", even though we do like to occasionly have a "mad one"
    If any of you regulars are in Plakias during the "arse end" of July, then perhaps we can meet up and have a giggle!
     
    All the best to all!

hi chris

by the sound of your post, you'll love plakias. i've not stayed at the lamon myself but if you do a search i'm sure you'll come up with a few interesting posts

(note to plakform members...very little in reviews section for lamon???)

forget Ag Nik of 1988, it's more laid back and actually greek not a english resort so don't worry about stag parties and the like, although it did get a little racey last year when greece won the eurovision song contest!!

cheers

ps  good name by the way..just needs an 'on' on the end

We stayed at the Lamon last August (Bed & Breakfast) and enjoyed it so much we have booked again for this August.
Rooms are basic and clean (our room was at the rear overlooking the mountains. The location is fantastic, many an afternoon was spent on the seats at the front of the hotel.
I hope you enjoy Plakias as much as we did.

Welcome to the Forum Chris and I hope you will find the information you are looking for. This is a very friendly Forum and so broad-minded that we even allow discussion on other resorts. For this thread click here.  Maybe you would like to contribute your opinions on other "Grecophile" resorts you like. Plakias is unique and the best in my opinion but one or two others run it close. For my part I have two foreign holidays a year and Plakias is only one of them!
