Plakias Riviera
About
Plakias Riviera in Crete stands at Andrianou, Myrthianos Plakias 740 60, Greece, a hotel on the island's southern coast. The property is known for its position at Plakias, a coastal village in the Rethymno regional unit. Guests rate Plakias Riviera 5 out of 5 from 54 reviews. Its website, plakiasriviera.com, provides further information.
First-time visitors should expect a base on Crete's south coast, with Rethymno to the north and Heraklion further east. Chania, Agios Nikolaos, Ierapetra and Sitia are reachable by road, while Matala and Elafonisi lie to the west and south. The hotel's setting at Plakias places it away from the busier northern resort strip.
Greek is the main language on Crete, written in the Greek alphabet, which also appears on road signs and menus. Most Greek islands are rocky and hilly, and olives, grapes and capers grow widely on terraced slopes.
Ferries and high-speed catamarans connect the Greek islands to Piraeus, Rafina and each other, though winter services are fewer. The meltemi, a strong northerly wind, blows across the Aegean in summer and can delay ferries. Plakias Riviera suits visitors who want a southern Crete base with the island's main towns within driving distance.
