Very comfortable and clean accommodation in the tiny village of Plati with a kind and generous welcome from Vasilis's aunt when we arrived. The Lasithi Plateau is a stunningly beautiful area that for most tourists is usually just seen as a day trip. By staying at Vasilis's place you get to experience the tranquillity of the plateau that returns when the coaches and daytrippers have returned to their hotels. If you're expecting raucous nightlife you'll be dissapointed, the pleasures of the Lasithi plateau are to be had in leisurely drives around the perimeter, walks along the lanes which criss-cross the abundant fields/orchards (the whole area is like a huge allotment) or more challenging walks into the surrounding hills (the walk up to the ancient site of Karfi from Tzermiádho is particularly recommended. The views from the top are incredible).
There are two or three tavernas within easy walking distance in Plati, but they seem to rely more on daytime custom rather than nightime. On the two evenings we went out to eat we were the only customers. However there are great cooking facilities at the house, so if you bring provisions you could easily prepare food there instead if you prefer.
If you're really lucky you might be invited to join Vasilis's aunt and uncles in the kafenio that they run downstairs where you'll be offered a drink and any produce that they may be eating (in our case, fresh walnuts). A real treat! People up here are genuine and welcoming.
Finally it's worth pointing out that it can get slightly chilly up here in the evenings, even in summer, so bring appropriate clothing.
We had a great time and would definitely return.
