This is great - a forum dedicated to Plakias.  

Myself and my partner Derek have been visiting Plakias a couple of times a year for the past 4 years now and absolutely adore it.  We always pay a visit to Ostraco and love the little Souvlaki place in front of the Art Gallery, as well as most of the Tavernas too!  Anyone that spends the Summer season in Plakias is sure to have seen us around.

Our plan is to move out there permanently next year and although it won't be easy as we will both have to find work, we are looking forward to the challenge.  Any tips would be greatly appreciated.  I would love to hear from someone that may have done something similar?

Leen!!

Many thanks for your responses.  

It's a rainy/snowy day here in central London and, as always, my thoughts turn to Crete when the weather is so dire.  Our holiday is booked and we will be back in Plakias on the 9th June for a couple of weeks - more than happy to meet up with any Forum members that may also be there then.  We are definitely going to hire cycles for a day (maybe two) and head over to Shinaria beach.  I shall give the scuba diving a miss this year.  I tried it last June (it was my challenge for the year) but, not really being comfortable with the total lack of control, decided that it wasn't for me.  I'll stick with snorkelling - much easier.
All being well, our plans are still to sell up early next year and move out to Plakias in the early Spring.  We shall stay in our apartment for about a year to see how things pan out.  It will really be down to whether we can both find work or not.  I'm very excited...... (but also a little bit scared)......

Bicycles? Nooo, get a Motor John! A motorcycle or (at least) a scooter, pedalling uses up too much Mythos!
Good luck with the intended move, if this forum is anything to go by, you will have a crowd of Brits following you out there!

Or go in the local traditional style: rent a few donkeys!    
BTW what is wrong with bicycles? (yes I come from Holland)  
Awaiting the pictures!
