Although Plaka is essentially a seaside village for tourists, in that role, it succeeds and it is delightful. It is full of tavernas, the swimming is excellent and the views of the bay, the mountains and Spinalonga are inspiring. Eleftheria's ground floor apartment is perfect. Although it is contained within one large room, it is spacious, very well equipped, and tastefully decorated. The building is built of stone and the interior very beautifully decorated. A dive into the sea each morning is literally meters from the front door and there are tavernas to right and left. Within an hour's drive are incredible mountains to explore and remote seascapes that really impress. But the best part of a stay here is Eleftheria herself who is smart, warm, welcoming and very entertaining. Eleftheria could not have been more charming and helpful. She stays upstairs and so is always on hand to help out (we could hear one of her sons playing the bouzouki quietly from an upstairs room. He should have come out onto the balcony, he was that good!) I highly recommend the location, the accommodation, and the fact that you will feel rejuvenated and invigorated after a week here. Wonderful. Thank you Eleftheria.
