Lock in a great price for Plakias Bay Hotel - rated 8.6 by recent guests.

to get started.

Excellent location beside the beach. Quiet away from the main town but easy walk in - 15/20minutes. The staff were excellent, very friendly. The food was good in the evening.

Lesley, United Kingdom

We had a split level apartment and it was very clean and comfortable. Staff were extremely welcoming. The walk to the beach was very easy.

Janet, United Kingdom

The location is fantastic. Near enough to town to enjoy facilities but far enough away to feel quieter. Great staff and lovely room.

Julet, United Kingdom

Perfect located, clean rooms. Friendly and helpful staff. Renovated bathrooms, a piece of luxury in a basic room.

Gijs, Netherlands

Great location near the beach. Home cooked dinners were the best and very reasonably priced. Comfortable room with a view.

Peter, New Zealand

The location was very good, staff very friendly and helpful. A small fridge in room. We ordered in advance facilities for tea making in our room and it was there when we arrived including milk & sugar. The free WiFi worked at all times. The booked room for 2 persons was adequate, shower & toilet room good, towels changed as necessary. Plenty of electricity plugs. This is a small family run hotel offering very good value for money. Breakfast buffet OK. The food was simple, the local menus i.e. Rabbit, were very good and most of the ingredients were local. The house wine was from the family vineyard and very good. A small desert & Ouzo was included in the price of the main menu which was excellent value.

Adrienne, Germany

Nice and small hotel very close to the beach. Each room has a balcony overlooking the Plakias Bay. Helpful staff. Breakfast in the garden. Dinner in the restaurant was very tasteful. April is a very good month to stay in Plakias. The weather is good and it’s outside high season.

Patricia, Netherlands

Good location,good price,good food,friendly staff and nice clean hotel.

Urszula, United Kingdom

Staff extra friendly, especially Valens (sp?); views outstanding; sweet kitty cats and Vavis, the dog, are a joy; house wine is terrific; never had a better olive; bountiful breakfast on a sun-washed terrace overlooking the bay; short walk to town and beach is just down the driveway; spectacular drive in through mountain gorges; spacious room with ventilated bathroom; pomegranates growing in the garden among beautiful olive trees. Absolutely wonderful!!!

Robert, USA

Staff was very helpful and nice. The hotel is really charming. I got two wonderful rooms (connected, one had a door were the lock was broken), which were balconies with superb views over the bay and town. The beach is just a very short walk from the hotel, although the part next to the hotel is a nudist area (which didn't bother me). Into the main town boulevard it is about a kilometer to walk. The beach and the water is fantastic!

눉The restaurant offered an evening meal, but not every day, closed maybe twice each week but not on the same weekday. Often `restaurant closed this evening´ and menu changes were very short term (late afternoon) so it was difficult to organize the day. We suggest such information is required latest at breakfast on the `closed tonight´ day. There should be more time between the serving of the starter and main menu, sometimes they arrived almost simultaneous.
눇The location was very good, staff very friendly and helpful. A small fridge in room. We ordered in advance facilities for tea making in our room and it was there when we arrived including milk & sugar. The free WiFi worked at all times.
