May / June
« on: August 27, 2025, 09:37:05 AM »
Hi Gang,
Just back from Plakias, two weeks in August. Very busy compared to previous visits at the same times, far end full by 11:30, Antonis very busy at lunchtimes, strange for that time of year.
Did anyone visit this year around May / June times and could comment on how busy it was then and how the climate was?

Kalimera Barny, have you also noticed the extreme price increases in Plakias in the taverns, bars, caf?s and supermarkets?

I don't have anything to compare it to in August, but I think August (peak holiday season) has always been very busy in Plakias (and everywhere else).

This year, there has been a development/change in that there are more bookings in Crete for October and November. Many people now find it simply too hot and too busy in Crete in August and September.

However, as August is mainly the peak holiday season for Greeks, it remains very crowded and busy in Plalias, Agia Galini, Matala, etc. in August.
