A weekly market would be fine. With fruits, herbs, raki, wine from local farmers, fish and meat, arts and crafts. And maybe a small dancehall with the right music for old men like me... But we didn't miss much at all yet and the more things they add the more we fear that it will change the place in a way we will not like so much... For our childrens welfare we were sometimes happy to find the doctor and the pharmacy right in town.

I agree, and it would be good to see more watermelons on sale, right off the pick-up truck.
I would also like Greek elections to be held more often, as the mobile loudspeakers liven up the place. (just joking)

I quote (free translated) from a Dutch travel magazine “Reizen” February 06:
Quote:
Plakias:
Without doubt we stayed there much too short for an honest opinion, however when we say “tourist train”, you know enough……………
Festos is on top of the hill. We leave the archaeological site and drive in the direction of Plakias. No “concrete” tourism however empty beer tins on the beach, which do reveal our worst expectations. ……………………..
Unquote
Conclusion:
Plakias needs following improvements:
No litter on the beach: I.e.: Littering tourists should be stripped naked and deported to the far end.
Tourist train to be camouflaged (preferably by olive tree branches)
The only remarks we have:
the hardness of the Cretan mattresses. Slightly softer is preferred.
sometimes an electric kettle, a shower hook, and
dry toiletpaper after a shower.
