Supermarket and bakery

[Mike G]

I gather from doing a search that there is a bakery next to a supermarket (the main supermarket or one of several?). Could one of the regular visitors please enlighten me as to their location (if someone has a map to mark it on that would be even better).

Thanks in advance.

Are you speaking about the market near Morpheas rent rooms ? What do you want to know about ?
You can see a photo of it at : [a href=\"http://morpheas-apartments-plakias-crete-greece.com/]http://morpheas-apartments-plakias-crete-greece.com/

I think all the supermarkets sell bread but if you like it fresh you'll need to get there just after a delivery.

[a href=\"http://www.compage.com/plakias/2003/03sep/images/PlakiasBakery030911-858_jpg.jpg]This one[/url] bakes in small batches according to demand and, whenever I've been there, their bread is usually still warm.

If you want to know it's location, this picture was taken from just outside.
You could also say it's close to the harbour wall.

There is a bakery next to the very large supermarket / general store at the East end of of Plakias - at the opposite end of that dusty car park adjacent to Alianthos Hotel. When driving out of Plakias eastwards one forks left at Alianthos Hotel, off from the beach road. The supermarket / adjacent bakery is on the left about 100 yards from that fork. Unfortunately this description won't mean much for someone who hasn't been to Plakias.

My wife and I were here a couple years ago and frequented this bakery and supermarket a lot.  Very nice place to stock up on supplies.

welcome to the forum Trundle

one of our pleasures is breakfast crossaints (sp?) on the beach for breakfast  ( do vanilla danishes count as crossaints?)

If you are staying at the Chrisoula turn right at the bottom of the street to the small bakery pictured by Compage and the one John R is saying is on the way to the far enders beach. Whatever you will not be far from either bakery or super market in Plakias.

enjoy

I think the biggest one is the one next to the big supermarket - the first one you come to as you enter plakias from the lefkogia end - you pass the church on the left then the supermarket is on the right - mentioned by John R. To the right of the supermarket is the fruit and veg shop then to the left but set back from the road is the bakery. We got there ridiculously early one time (one of those daft overnight flights) and picked a car up at the airport and just slept down by the beach until next morning until we looked for a room. The bakery was open I think at about 3 oclock so we had a quick bite before settling down. I talked to the guy last year and I think he's going to add a few  tables and chairs and do coffee and snacks but anyway they do a great range of bread, cakes and paxomadia. If you're interested in seedy bread he does one called something like "octospores" (means eight seeds) - doubleplusgood

Can thoroughly recommend the bakery that Compage shows you.
Try the 'spanakopitas' for breakfast, - fresh, extremely tasty and very filling, oh and very inexpensive as well.
Can also recommend the circular - 'white cheese (tyri aspro I think)' tirropitas, a bit different but again, superb.
Used to take a trip down most mornings, and it was a mission of mine to make the Lady smile - which wasn't easy.
Always spoke and ordered in Greek, she always spoke in English - Marvellous !!
Either way, get there relatively early and you wont be disappointed.

As for supermarkets, can recommend the one that the English couple run, all you need.
The one as you come into Plakias from Lefgoiya is more like a proper supermarket and probably has more variety, but only used that when coming back from a beach somewhere and have the car.

Hope that helps,
Cheers

Thanks Guys (and gals). I'm overwhelmed with all the useful info! Shows the forum at its best.

I haven't been for 10 years but from Compage's photos the place doesn't seem to have altered much. Just hope we don't get the "dud" room in Kostas Chysoulla that someone referred to in another part of the forum.

Thanks again.

Hello John (Compage),

Your recommendation was spot on. We bought bread there every day plus some of their fine pastries and nut cakes. I don't know what they did last year but the bread isn't baked on the premises but absolutely everything else is, which is amazing as the place is so small.

When I purchased provisons for the return journey (I don't like airport prices) the lady serving insisted on giving me 4 free cakes, which were much appreciated.
