Plakias is a beautiful coastal village town on the Southern coast of the Greek island Crete. It is best known for its large crescent-shaped bay with a beautiful beach situated right between two huge wind tunnels - Gorges fo Selia and Kourtaliiotiko. There are a plethora of beachfront establishments - including restaurants, cafes, shops, and of course vacation homes. If you don’t want to spend all day at the beach you can also make your trip a more ‘rugged adventure’ and hike up to the mountains in the north, the mountain village of Moni Finika or Myrthios Village, or visit the gorges of Prevelli. No matter your vacation style, there is definitely going to be something for you in Plakias - and you will always have gorgeous views whatever you choose to do! So check out this list of Airbnb vacation rentals to make your ideal adventure into a reality!
