Hi Alex,
I am Iana from Romania
Hi Iana! Nice to meet you
and I returned from Plakias 2 weeks ago. It was our first time in this part of Crete (we have been several times before on the Northern coast) and I am so proud to have choseN Plakias.
So you also love Crete! I've been 2 times in Crete: the first, with Tour Operator, in Nord-Est part (hotel in Elounda), the second in the West I booked only the fly and a car
And in late September this will be my third time in Crete! Only flight and a car, obviously...
Two weeks, I think first 5-6 days between Kalamaki and Matala, then Plakias...
It is a magic place but not isolated and it has every ingredient for a perfect, relaxing holiday. I loved it and definitely I will be back. Villa Ioanna is situated on the road between Plakias and Damnoni beach. I saw it several times and noticed it because of its name which is exactly like in Romanian. we thought Ioana is a very Romanian, but.... seems is of Greek origin, however. The house looks very neat and nice but you have to take into account it is not in Plakias.
Yes, but no problem with the Hunday Athos... I hope!
We stayed in Myrthios, the wonderful village above Plakias.
Might you tell me where did you stay? And, of course, if you had a good time?
Like if the room was clean, how much did you pay for a night/stay, ect...
The only "bad" thing we had to cope with was the Meltemi (the western wind) which decided to blow exactly when we were there. In spite of this, we loved everything about Plakias. The tavernas, the bars, the fact that music is of good qualityd it is not blasting in the loudspeakers and the people around are more of a bohemic nature than of the standard tourist (whom I hate).
Yes, the best way to relax! I always remember the first trip to Crete, and the first man that we found searching a car rental, said to us: "....Relaaaax! You're in holiday! All you have to do is... relax!"
The people is very friendly, and also they are first Cretain, than Greek! Also tourist are different from other vacation places... except Hersonisoss and Malia in August!
If you have the car go around to all the beaches (they are great), to Preveli Monastery, and all the other places around!
I've been one time in Preveli... great place! And for the other places, I'm learning some web-tips...
I've found a lot of interesting beaches: Damnoni, Amoudi, Shinaria and more...
And also a long list of good tavernas with genuine food, which I love! No tourist restaurant for me, please!
Have a great holiday!!!!! And who knows maybe we'll meet in Plakias next year!
thank you!!! I hope so, but my holidays are always in late September...!
Ciao Iana
