I am new in this forum. My name is Alex and I'm from Austria. I don't speak English very well, sorry.
Four or five years ago I found pictures of Plakias on the homepage of a hotel. Since this time I really wanted to spend my holidays in Plakias.
Next week we finally fly to Plakias !!! And I am looking forward to it sooo much !!!
But there is one question left: we read that in Plakias the wind should be so strong. You can't enjoy the days on the beach.
Is this really true? I can't imagine.
May I ask you what is real? Is this the truth?
Yes, its true. You can have bad luck.
Thanks a lot for the quick and honest answers.
We are in Plakias for 18 days, so hopefully there will be some days with not so strong wind.
I`m sure there are some boats to rent or little ferries to discover other beaches.
I am sure we will enjoy our holidays.
For the alternative beaches, they are not far away, If you like walking it can be done by foot, or rent a car for a few days, make a daytrip to Agia Galini or to Rethymnon if You like some more shopping. Anso travel in Plakias rents bike if You like that more thans a car.
Have fun there and enjoy your 18 days. We were in Plakias in april With Easter and had almost no wind on the beach.
The restaurants on the front road have really good protection from the wind, especially after the fire that hit them a few years ago.
