Dave and Les, Thank you - and you have a safe journey too. We will probably end up sitting next to each other in a taverna or on the beach, and not know! This will be our fifth trip to Crete and our third to Plakias, so we have a bit of catching up to do (although we have been to the southern Peloponnese around 20 times). We have been to Plakias at May half-term previously, so expect it will be busier in August. We love the Paligremnos taverna for lunch - if we are not having gyros and retsina at the souvlaki hut.
