I have stayed at the apartment for the last two weeks and cannot fault it.
Everything was as described in the advert and the additional personal touches provided by the host Charalampos throughout my stay made it even more welcoming.
I would have no hesitation in recommending this apartment and Plaka village as a great place to stay. The view out over Souda Bay is fantastic.
The apartment is fully equipped with everything that you need for your stay and the restaurants, mini market and cash machine is just a couple of minutes walk away.
If you bring a hire car then there is space to park about 20m from the apartment opposite the Riviera hotel.
That hotel also has a nice pool which I used several times in exchange for buying some lunch or a drink. Prices are a bit more expensive than the local restaurants though.
I can wholeheartedly recommend Elpis as the place to eat in the village and Molly the owner is a really pleasant lady to know.
For baklava and coffee you can’t beat the bakery opposite the bus stop at the cross roads in Almyrida. It’s a 20 minute walk or 5 minute drive from Plaka.
Either end of the village there are the communal bins where you take your waste again, only a short walk away. If you’re into plants and gardening then the garden centre just on the edge of the village is a nice place for a browse.
Once again, highly recommended.
