My bf and I stayed at plakias for one week. It was definitely one unforgettable vacation. Alexandros is a nice and helpful host,always gave us good suggestions abt local stuff. The restaurant that he recommended us is our fav restaurant in Crete.The room is at a perfect location.one minutes to the beach and city center.even though plakias is a quite small city,but you get everything u need here and a wonderful beach.if anyone wants to snorkeling, beach in plakias is the best.(as we already tried many places in Crete).Anyway,except it's little bit far away from the iraktion, here is perfect place for vacation:)
