Plakias - Chania holidays

Sitting pretty on Crete’s south coast, the unspoilt town of Plakias is the perfect pick for a holiday that oozes relaxation. A large, crescent-shaped bay sits below the whitewashed town, where you’ll find traditional tavernas, local boutiques and plenty of places to stop for a beachside refreshment.

It’s a shore thing

The crescent-shaped stretch of Plakias Beach takes centre stage here. Wander along the long Pier of Plakias to see the impressive bay in full or relax on the golden grains and soak up the Greek rays. The impressive shores of Souda and Preveli beaches are nearby too!

Perfect for sightseeing

After a base that means you can get out and explore? Staying in Plakias means that when you want to switch up the pace from lazy days, you’ve got exciting sights on your doorstep. Visit the picturesque Rethymno Old Town, or the impressive Kourtaliotiko Gorge.
