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 :)
Set on the cliffside of Plaka village, Emerald features a large swimming pool enjoying scenic views over Souda Bay.

The room was very nice and clean. The breakfast was good. I liked very much the food from dinner. It was every day something else and very yummy. The staff is very nice except ADA from breakfast ( she is very rude and unpolite).

Location is great but we only stayed one night so did not use any facilities or activities. We were upgraded to a larger sea view room with balcony for no charge which was a bonus! The bar shut very promptly at 11.00 which cut off most people who had arrived from uk and were still in a q to check in, and not too pleased about it.
Providing city views, Olympic View Guesthouse in Kalami offers accommodations and a shared lounge.

We were welcomed like family -- with raki and fresh watermelon, in the traditional Cretan way -- and felt like family the entire time. The homestay is also animal-friendly and our host had the cutest two dogs and one magical kitty. The location itself is excellent -- staggering views across Souda Bay and relatively close to many other beaches, sites, and local restaurants (though you will need a car, of course). Honestly one of the best places we've stayed in.
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.
you cannot dislike how new this property is. feels like the hotel was launched very very recently.
having a full kitchen in the room is great too
rooms are very spacious, very clean
the view from standard studio is awesome
the staff is generally helpful and gave us a late checkout option which we highly appreciated as our flight was late in the evening
parking is available and has enough space.
the layout of the hotel is pretty smart and cool
My mother and son found the apartment clean and pretty. There was a lovely little basket full of food for breakfast in the kitchen area. The owner was more than helpful, and very kind as she arranged pick up and drop offs to the airport . The location was in a quiet village which suited my mother . It was within walking distance to restaurants and local shops. The apartment had lovely views. They would definitely recommend staying here.
Bliss house Villa had all we needed from a holiday, stunning views, the pool was wonderful and house was comfortable for us and our two teenagers. the AC made the nights comfortable, the Wi-Fi was good and TV had Netflix, a speaker for the days around the pool. The local beach was sandy, clean 16euros for 2 umbrellas and 4beds and had waited service from the tavernas on the main strip. The sunsets where spectacular every night.
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.
This was my favorite property in Crete by far it’s got nigh ceilings amazing bathroom and large room with a pool right as you walk out the patio. The hotel staff was super accommodating and friendly. There breakfast was delicious! It’s been so different than the crammed places we’ve been although those where cute as well. If your looking for more space and a big shower this place is for you!
The Villa is excellently located with superb views over Souda Bay. Plaka village square, with its splendid selection of tavernas and restaurants is within easy walking distance. But most of all, the Villa is very well appointed and furnished and George and his family cannot do enough to make your stay a comfortable one.
A beautifully appointed villa, well-equipped and very spacious, with several areas for relaxation and a very nice pool. Additionally it is in a quiet location which is also very conveniently only a few minutes walk away from the square in Plaka which has 3 or 4 excellent tavernas. Highly recommended.
Great location, not too touristy. The view from the villa is amazing! And having a private pool is really cool. The beach in Almyrida was easy to visit, it was not crowded. And all the restaurants in that area are great value for money, with friendly staff and super-tasty food.
This House is fantastic and very authentic in its interior designs. Beautiful view on the mountins and sea and the cosy village of Plàka from its two balconies - yet still great privacy in the pool area. We would love to return.
Very nice and flexible owner and staff, super clean rooms. Best view from the rooms of the sea! Everything there what you need, simple amazing 10/10. It should be 5 star hotel! Was the best choice for my parents anniversary❤️

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
