The scenic seaside village of Plaka overlooks the famous island of Spinalonga and is only a 5 minute drive from the town of Elounda, which is a further 15 minutes away from Agios Nikolaos and another 40 minutes from the capital's airport of Heraklion. The area around Plaka is especially beautiful with the unspoilt Mirabello peninsula overlooking the east and north Mediterranean. Quiet Cretan villages scatter the north coast and the mountains and seaside are wonderful for nature lovers. You can find most holiday requirements in the neighbouring town of Elounda. For historical and architectural sites you do not have to travel far. Knossos, Lato, Malia, Zakros, to name just a few. For the family there are plenty sandy beaches to find within a 15 minute drive and the large pebbled beach at Plaka, only 5 minutes walk away is excellent for snorkelling. You will not be disappointed by the number of places to eat and drink nearby with authentic Cretan cuisine and fresh fish.

Rating

An enjoyable family vacation

Metayel Ra'anana, Israel
Review Submitted: October 13, 2009 Date of Stay: September 2009
We chose this property because it was large enough for our family (7 adults, 5 children and 2 babies), its location, proximity to the sea, large swimming pool, tennis court and only 1.5 hour drive from to the airport. The description on the website was very accurate and the representative of the owner provided excellent service and attended to all our needs. While there were plenty of items and facilities for our use that made our stay confortable, a larger BBQ, additional and cleaner blankets, and an electric dryer would have made our week-long stay even more comfortable. I would definitely recommend this property to a friend or relative. Its maintenace, location close to the sea, the pleasant tavernas in the small village of Plaka and its proximity (5 km) to the town of Elunda were all a plus.
