No shortage of amazing views in Plakias. #endlesssummer
After island hopping in Greece for 2 weeks, Plakias (in Crete) remains to be my favorite spot by far. The views are some of the best in Greece. There are very few tourists which allows for a very authentic Greek experience when you visit Plakias. #blue #endlesssummer
If you stay at the Youth Hostel in Plakias, the manager will share with you ideas for different hikes. This one was the River Walk, where you hike along the water to see waterfalls, pools, and at the end, this "magic" bridge.

6.8/10 (157 reviews)
Staff was great we enjoyed the food I think the main draw back was it’s a very popular spot on hot days and there isn’t designated parking for people staying at the resort, so sometimes when we would come back it was really hard to find a parking spot

Beautiful place! Staff was very friendly! Rooms were cleaned everyday, and at night house keeping would come in and see if you needed more waters or towels. Only reason why I didn’t give it 5 stars was because breakfast was the same thing everyday, I stayed there for 11 nights, and after a few days ...
