FAQs about hotels in Plakias

What guests said about Plakias:

The town is just the right size — not too big.

The town is just the right size — not too big. Its rural and local character really comes through; we even watched goat herders at work just nearby. There’s a good variety of restaurants and several shops. For those with limited mobility, there’s a convenient flat sidewalk running along the beach. If you’re willing to drive a short distance, there are plenty of stunning beaches to choose from depending on the wind direction. It’s an excellent location for beach life and all kinds of water activities. At Paralia Souda, there was also an aid for wheelchair users to get into the water — provided they’re able to transfer into the seat. There’s also lots to do nearby — one tip is to hike up to Saint Paisios Church or visit the nearby mountain villages with their amazing views towards Plakias (see the photo).

A very good base for very many superb beaches in southern Crete, with a nice beach within the town, some great shops and very good eating options both within the town and the surrounding villages. Not spoiled by mass tourism as many other places in the island, yet neither too remote and hard to reach. Just perfect.

Plakias is a small town, out of the way and just what we...

Plakias is a small town, out of the way and just what we like. Reminiscent of Katelios on Kefalonia but a much bigger beach, with a quite well catered for naturist section at the southern end with two sunbeds and a parasol for EUR 9 per day or space to bring your own. The central to northern beach is mostly sunbed city but in this case the sand and sun are so hot you really need them. In late August, the sea was mostly calm but the wind can get up and waves got fairly strong at times. I visited the beach bar daily for liquid refreshment and the local beer mamos is perfect and EUR 5 for 500ml(?) seemed fair at this remote location. There is a small section of shops, bars and restaurants at the north end f town. We particularly liked Sofia's restaurant due to it's shorefront location, but we had nice meals elsewhere too. The area round the shops has been prettied up with a colourful fountain that children enjoyed playing in. Although hilly and winding roads dominate the whole region, the main street through town is a steady incline and no problem for most people. Photos are taken from the southern end of the beach.

Plakias has a very pleasant beach-side walkway, good restaurants close to the beach,, a choice of supermarkets if needed, and a variety of hotels/resorts to suit different budgets. There is also the option of a naturist beach at the eastern end, and various boat or coach excursions are possible. It needs a proper bus station, instead of a patch of waste ground with no facilities as at present. A few years ago there was at least a kiosk from which tickets could be bought and timetable information was available. Bus to Rethymno for a day out costs 5 euro each for a 45-50 minute ride past wonderful gorge scenery.

There are plenty of places offering food and drink.

There are plenty of places offering food and drink. We particularly liked Veranda, Ostrako, Sweet Creations and of course we had to visit Takis at Muses who genuinely remembered us from our previous visit 3 years before! Kri Kri, Kyma and Gialos also worth a visit. We did not have enough days to try all of the others! From traditional to modern. A very friendly place. A nice long level promenade which is an easy walk and which has been nicely paved. A long beach but is more shingle than sand. At the far end of the beach you can take the side roads and walk uphill if you need a bit more of a stretch. These connect back to the town. Beach bars and sun beds along the length of the beach but do not clutter it. Short drives to Souda Beach and to Dimnoni and Ammoudi Beaches - you have to have to have lunch at Chyma Sto Kyma at Ammoudi! It can sometimes be very windy on Crete and Plakias is no exception. Sometimes the drains can whiff a bit but you just move on! There are not many things specifically for children to do but highly recommend a visit.

We were there for three nights.

We were there for three nights. Village has a number of food shops / supermarkets, sufficient for you to self cater if you choose not to eat out. We didn't visit the village beach but drove east and enjoyed our time there.

Great short stay at Plakias Bay . Lovely little authentic family run Greek hotel. Everything you want on hand and the family very helpful and friendly. Right next to the beach with an easy walk to the town. (Just for info - several steps and slopes at the hotel if you require level access . ) the rooms were a good size with very comfortable beds, a kettle in the room and our balcony looked over the bay . Buffet Breakfast with lots of Hot and cold choice.

The hotel was very close to the beach and we really liked the fact that it was away from the main drag. The beach was beautiful and Plakias is a lovely place to stay. The staff were very friendly (although we didn't see much of them after the first day!). The cleaner came every day and was very efficient.

The hotel is very conveniently located, just a few minutes' walk to the center of Plakias, yet in a quiet and peaceful spot. Parking is available, and there’s a beautiful sea view. The hotel is well-maintained with a good breakfast and very kind staff. Highly recommended.

This hotel is right on the seafront at Plakias and we were able to park across the road. The room was spacious, comfortable and modern. There was no-one at Reception when we arrived but they had left the key with a note and we later met the friendly receptionist.
