l'etoile
About
Found on Crete, l'etoile sits at Myrthianos Plakias 740 60, on the island's south coast. The setting places it within reach of Rethymno, Heraklion, Chania, Agios Nikolaos, Ierapetra, Sitia, Matala and Elafonisi, so drivers based at any of those towns can work a visit into a longer circuit. A 4.8 out of 5 average from 126 reviews gives it one of the steadier reputations in the area.
Plakias sits on the southern side of Crete, so the approach from the north coast runs inland rather than along the shore. Visitors coming from Heraklion or Chania should allow extra time for that drive, while those already staying around Rethymno have the shorter run.
Horiatiki salad, grilled octopus and thyme honey from island hills are common on menus across Crete, and the south coast's tavernas lean on that same produce. Orthodox Easter is the biggest religious festival, and village panigyria mark saints' days through the summer, so timing a visit around one adds local colour.
Ferries and high-speed catamarans connect the islands to Piraeus, Rafina and each other, though winter services are fewer, so most arrivals to Crete come by air or sea in the warmer months. First-time visitors should expect a south-coast setting with a slower pace than the northern resorts.
