Paligremnos Residences take prime position in one of Rethymno’s most charming villages, Plakias with azure waters and rugged coastline create an enchanting destination for holidays beside the sea. The unspoilt breathtaking landscape of Plakias make it an ideal holiday destination for guests seeking total relaxation. The gorgeous beaches, stunning mountainous landscape and the inviting waters of the Libyan Sea, are all in all a reason to visit this part of Crete.
Plakias is a popular tourist resort. Originally a very small and quiet fishing village, and it now offers a range of amenities, as well as is renowned for it’s natural beauty, providing all the facilities that a visitor could wish for. Along the main road of the village there are several supermarkets, bakeries, ATM machines, post office, a doctor’s office, restaurants, tavernas, cafes and beach bars while on the beach there are tamarisk trees, water sports, beach volley courts, snack bars and other shops offer a very wide range of products, including local and traditional goods.
The beach is sandy and very well organised with sun beds, umbrellas, changing rooms, showers, etc. The rocks surrounding the beach are ideal for fishing and snorkelling, as well. The road along the beach is also ideal for walking or cycling.
Plakias makes a good starting point for walks along the coast to Souda, or up into the encircling hills to other villages such as Sellia or Mirthios, which boasts spectacular sea views out to sea. A good coastal motor track runs west beyond Plakias, leading to Souda, Rodakino, Frangokastello and Sfakia beaches. There are plenty of walks locally, and bolder walkers will enjoy the high green countryside beyond the coastal mountain range north of town. Mountain biking and cycle touring are other local attractions.

Sehr empfehlenswert!
Alles ohne irgendwelche Probleme abgelaufen.
Super sauber und sehr gute Betreuung durch Antonia (vielen Dank). Ein etwas grösserer Sonnenschirm aussen wäre gut, da es ausserordentlich heiss war. Der Strand ein Traum nur 2 min. zu Fuss nicht überlaufen super Strandbar einfach genial. Alles in allem perfekt!
