Located in a perfect place to travel around Crete. We had the best trip ever. This hotel is clean comfortable ( very comfortable beds) and it is hard to leave. This is a hidden gem and excellent value for the money.

The location was very convenient, with a minimarket and a few restaurants in immediate proximity. The area is quiet, we slept well at night. Maria and her family were very friendly and responsive. The property was spotlessly clean. There were all necessary kitchen appliances, toilet paper, paper towels etc. available. We were offered sincere hospitality and found the proeprty to be good value for money. The host was very attentive and asked us if there was anything else we needed. We enjoyed our stay very much and had a relaxed holiday in Plaka. Travelers looking for a property without animals for whatever reasons should probably consider another location, but we are animal-friendly and found the cats living near the house awesome :)

The overall site and landscape were beautiful. Also the view was beautiful. The pool and bar were nice. There were 2 very small slides and one medium water slide. Location is good, close to the center and beach. It was nice to have 24 hour reception, as our flight was delayed and we arrived quite late. Some staff were nice and helpful.

Very comfortable and laid back. Kind, helpful hosts that went out of their way to make our stay perfect! The apartment is well equipped with everything we needed. Everything worked well and the shower was really great (for me that is important). There is a blue flag beach right in front.
Plaka is beautiful and very traditional. Excellent restaurants closeby. Amazing views across to Almyrida and also views of the mountain. We loved all of the restaurants and had great food in the four thst we went to. We had great souvlaki and moussaka. House wine in all were really good. We used the pool in Emerald apartments and just brought drinks while we were there, the view from the pool wS amazing. Very easy to get round Plaka, however we never walked back from Almyrida as it is very steep so had a taxi, 6 euros.

Plaka is a beautiful spot that has stunning views of the coast and Almyridia. It has a great selection of local restaurants and shops and is only a short walk down to the busier strip of restaurants, facilities and beaches. We had the most amazing time and the hosts could not do enough for us, it was so wonderful. A true home-from-home with special touches along the whole trip. I would highly recommend it to anyone asking. We will definitely revisit the special accommodation that we found in Plakias also, a great place to tour around the Chania region and beyond in Creta.

Plaka is a sweet little village close to beaches. It feels more authentic that staying in the resort areas and the restaurants are more traditional and much better prices! We found Plaka to be a very good base for exploring this part of Crete - it is only half an hour into Chania and it is also possible to drive to lots of beaches in a few minutes, one of them is only a ten minute walk away.

Plaka was the perfect location to capture views and set back from the busy tourist area of Almyrida Beach...It offers amenities such as a couple of super markets (walkable) and restaurants. It is a short drive to a main highway for easy access to beaches and roads to South side of the island. While Chania is a historic and iconic city, we were glad that we did not stay there - there are cruise ships that port there and bring in lots of tourists. Plaka is only 30 minutes from the airport and was the perfect location for our plans to hike, see ruins, experience various beaches and authentic villages.

Excellent place to stay. The owner Mr.
Excellent place to stay. The owner Mr. Panagiotis was very helpful, very kind man. He helped with all the information and everything we needed. We even got some fresh baked cake from the mum and a bottle of olive oil .The apartment was very clean and everything was in order as shown in booking .com . It was a walking distance to Almirida, there you find excellent restaurants with delicious greek foods and beaches. I will definitely come back again and its a beautiful holiday home to recommend someone who would like to visit Plaka.
The villa is traditional yet modern and very beautiful. The hosts are the most incredible family, and it's so great that they also own the best restaurant in Plaka! I have a hard to please set of boys ranging from teens to child, and we all loved it. None of them wanted to leave, and neither did I. Wifi good, aircon good, pool good, kitchen good, location good....we couldn't have been more happy.
Great location - supermarket and restaurants nearby
Walk to beach was pleasant
Lovely villa with everything we needed, really lovely pool and we found everything we could need re cooking and eating
Amazing views especially at sunset
House was spotless, beautiful. Location was brilliant - nice and quiet but easy to walk to restaurants and local supermarket. Host and cleaning ladies were super helpful
