The resort is very nicely decorated and very clean. Lots of greenery around the pools. The location is very good, close to the beach (there is a road between the resort and the beach) and close to the town of Plakias, where you can go on foot. The reception staff is very friendly and ready to help.

I have been to many places and different establishments, from luxury ones to hostels and very bad rooms, but this place is The Go To!!!!
First thing I noticed and that helped me relax by A LOT was extreme cleanliness!!! The outside, the inside, the bathroom the kitchen, beds, everything is really really clean!!!
The enterior and furniture are rustic style, full wood, all nicely and recently pained and well done! What's not to love? The colors are also very very pleasant for a relaxation mode!!!
The second thing was Manolis, the host and the owner. This is a family man, with a big heart and a good soul. Anything you need he's there, ''no problem'' as he says.
And I had just came from a really stressfull past few days, and stayed only two nights at his hotel, but in this really short period of time, I felt truly welcomed, and his good heartedness helped me feel much better, fast.
Here, I was safe, and at home. I could relax, go back to normal and continue my journey with renewed energy.
This is a place to be at, especially on a vacation. I am actually sorry that I have to leave. Even if there was no beach, the room, hotel and the kind hearted owners are enough to feel really really good. This is like a spa for the soul.
I will not forget their kindess and I hope that they get it back in multiplied amounts!!!!!!
Much much health and good luck to you and your family!!!!!!!!!

Last minute booking coming off the beach to save us a trip back to Malia. Lovely hotel. Bed was comfortable and shower was hot. Breakfast was enjoyable and crossed the road to eat it on the seafront. Would recommend for a short stay. Would book again if in the area.

Plakias in June is the right place to spend active holiday...
Plakias in June is the right place to spend active holiday both in misty mountain gorges and beautiful sunny beaches. Nobody will get bored here if he doesn’t expect mass attractions but active holiday. However it is very useful to rent a car.

Plakias is a nice location.
Plakias is a nice location. Plenty of choice for bars and restaurants. Worth walking the side streets as some hidden gems to eat in.
Very windy. Taxi from Kassiani cost €6/7 one way. It’s about 1.5 miles from Kassiani studios and there’s no footpath along the road.

The jewel in the crown is the most southerly lending library in Europe, most European languages held.
Of course Plakias has a nice beach, good walking around; but it has been overdeveloped these last 30y, and looks set to continue.

Take a side trip to visit Kourtaliotiko Gorge. There is a trail in the gorge, but we didn't have time for that. So we stopped along the road above and followed the path passed the Church of Saint Nicholas down to a beautiful view of the waterfall.

Quiet place in November, but sea temperature was super nice.
Quiet place in November, but sea temperature was super nice. Supermarkets are open, as well as some restaurants. There was a lot of construction going on. Many tavernas close to attractions are closed, so take plenty of snacks.
The appartments are clean, comfortable, well equipped and very cozy. The pool is nice like on the pictures, but not very deep, so it s more for relaxing than swimming, but the sea is really wonderful at Plakias and the surrounding beaches. If you have breakfast you have to go to the hotel, about 10 minutes to walk or you go by car, if you don t want to walk. Breakfast was really tasty. I can recommend this accomodation; if you have a car it s perfect to come around everywhere.
I stayed here for 4 nights and I really loved this apartment. It’s much larger than other apartments or studios that I stayed in around Crete for the same or more money. I stayed in apartment 4 which has a huge outdoor patio to relax, eat and also very private for sunbathing etc. The apartment has a full kitchen. It was also cleaned everyday! The location was perfect in Plakias. The hosts were very friendly and hospitality. Highly recommend.
A newly opened hotel, Kymani is an excellent choice both for families or young travellers. It is sufficiently apart from the central venue of Plakias, but you can still reach it through a comfortable walk. The facilities are brand new, have a cozy design, and the surrounding area is very quite. Most rooms have a nice view of the sea. Also, the rooms have both AC and a ventilator.
It is perfectly clean place, with very nice and comfourtable rooms. Breakfast is excellent and there are lots of different and very interesting things to try. "Garden view" isn't that great and the pool isn't in the Sofia hotel, but in the other one, which is near. However, who needs pool, when you have such a beautiful sea and wonderfull beaches nearby :)
beautiful place Greek style very clean great location just a wander to bars and restaurants and the beach, good place to explore the south of Crete. breakfasts were delicious great coffee eggs and Mediterranean buffet lovely garden with mulberry trees
