Stefanos is a beautiful medium sized modern hotel complex, built in greek style up on the slopes overlooking Plakias Bay, with great views but quit location. Spacious apartment with all what is needed, including seaview, spacious balcony (with private hot spa), very friendly staff, good breakfast buffet and also nice infinity pool (for which it was too cold and windy during our stay, but is awesome).

Extraordinary hosts! The whole atmosphere at Amente is very relaxed and chill. The design of the whole place was done in a very thoughtful and deliberate way with great attention to detail. But what really did set the stay apart from others was the hosts generous hospitality we were able to enjoy. We felt like home within minutes and your proposals to explore the area were spot on Irini! Thanks again!

Being at Crete for the ninth time I must say that I loved the hotel and everything in it. Although there was construction from the next hotel, on the moment I complained , we were given a better room in a quieter side. We really appreciated it and we are sure that as soon the construction will be completed it will be the best place on the south of Crete to reside. Close to the beach and all the great restaurants. Everywhere we went people were so friendly. We thank KYMANI for helping the experience be the best.

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.
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.

Plakias is a good place to have a rest moving from Imbras Gorge to Kourtaliotiko gorge, city is small and quite. Beaches in city itself not seems are extraordinary, they have many rocks, but on the left end is there a nudist beach

Plakias is a smallish town and very laid back and relaxing.
Plakias is a smallish town and very laid back and relaxing. As we were half board we didn't try many of the bars/restaurants on offer. We were going to go on a boat trip but one of our daughters was ill so we had to abandon that idea. My other daughter and I did visit Kourtaliotiko Gorge and waterfall which was amazing and we made it to Souda beach on the last day which had lovely clear water. We had a car so we could travel around. I personally think that is an essential if you want to explore the area as it takes a while to drive anywhere as the roads are quite small and bendy!
Great little suites right at the beach. Beautiful and clean with a small kitchenette and all utensils required. Our host met us a provided a wonderful welcome with a small bottle of Raki to enjoy on the beautiful balcony overlooking the sea. Breakfast was provided at the Blue Cafe next door. A wonderful breakfast omelette and eggs were served with good coffee! Lovely sandy beach with easy access and as a bonus a wheelchair access right into the water! We loved our stay and wish we could have stayed longer.
Excellent quality price ratio. Amazing views from the hotel, clean and tidy. Close to the center and the beach but better to go there by car. It's also very close to the best beaches in the area. The owner Kostas is friendly, helpful and warm, he will treat you as family and help you whatever you need. The atmosphere is relaxed and easy going, we will never forget our nights in the garden having fun with Kostas and other guests. Thank you Kostas for making our stay in plakias so good!!!
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.
The host is super friendly, and always there. Location is hard to beat, in the very center of Plakias. If you are there for partying in Plakias or for excursions, this lace is great. Plenty of parking space around.
It is not a 5* hotel, but a charming (in a simple way) place to spend the nights.
If you are there for the beach, this is probably not a place for you - although the beach is very close, it is on the other side of the road.
Flexible check in, nice oasis style garden with a pool and cool coctail bar, quiet area, very kind and welcoming host. There was a big terrace where we had breakfast and dinner with a view of the mountains and olive tree field. There is free parking on the street or at the olive tree field. Also there is a mini library of books from where you can borrow for the beach so you will not be bored. :)
What a beautiful, newly built hotel in boho-design, and it’s exactly like on pictures - super authentic and cozy! It’s in the quiet area of Plakias and only a few minutes from the beach and restaurants. Great host with lots of great suggestions on places to visit! Definitely a top spot when traveling around that side of the island. 10/10 and totally recommended to stay!
The pool is amazing, really deep and large; perfect for escaping from the heat. The breakfast is very good; there are many options and delicious homemade biscuits too. The location is perfect as it is overlooking Plakias but far enough from the crowds. The staff is overall good and attentive. They gave us very good tips on local restaurants and beaches.
It’s situated on the hill top with an amazing view of the beach. We could walk to the beach and have a drink at the nearby cafe/bars. It had a super cold mini-fridge for our water. 👍 The breakfast buffet was quite good with a nice seating area. The manager was very welcoming and let us borrow beach towels.
Very nice hotel and high comfort apartments very well equiped with a huge terrace with sea view. We loved the service and breakfast served in the room every morning. Very friendly and helpful staff. The pool was great, it seems we had it for ourselves. Next time we go to Plakias sure we'll stay there again!
Excellent little family hotel. Clean, comfortable, great location - just across a sandy beach at a quiet part of Plakias, but only 10 minutes walk from the town center. Great taverna on premises, and a nice bar at the beach. Very friendly stuff and management. Highly recommended!
Chara went above and beyond to make sure our stay was comfortable and unforgettable. Breakfast was amazing, rooms were good size and extremely clean and bedsheets smelled amazing. The views were great and Plakias is a very short walk. Can't wait to go back
Exceptionally clean rooms (we booked two separate stays), nice views from the balconies, good to also explore Preveli. Plakias as a town was very touristy. We liked the small beach right in front of the studios as it was less crowded.
Great location, centrally located. Wonderfully helpful staff, especially Olga, the receptionist. Great breakfast. Large, comfortable room. Spotlessly clean. Free sunbeds on the beach across from the hotel, and beach towels available.
Wonderful location: we felt we’d lucked out with the best place in Plakias. We liked being tucked away at the end of the beach, with no noise and beautiful sea views. The family were very friendly and helpful.
I really liked the place, it's near the city center and the beach, but at the same time it is peaceful and quiet. :) Everything was clean, the room was big and spacious, the hosts were very friendly and kind.
rain forest shower with great water pressure, clean,comfortable beds, minutes walk to beach and lots of great restaurants. plakias is a nice resort town to use as a base to explore the southern coast
Good hotel, located in the center of Plakias with private parking. Clean rooms with a good size. Close to the super market, restaurants, bars and the beach.
Beautifully stylish and spacious accommodation, friendly staff, peaceful location. and amazing breakfast .
