The mixture of laid back Plakias and the roomy and very well equipped Morpheas appartments make for the ideal relaxing Greek holiday.
The booking itself was professionally handled by Olga and on arrival we were welcomed by Manolis, her husband, who was available throughout our stay. Everyday our appartment was cleaned by a very attentive young lady. The appartments are on the seafront with supermarkets, coffee shops and tavernas within strolling distance. A big favourite is Mouses, near the harbour, where the welcome, the quality of the Greek dishes, the service and the general atmosphere are second to none.
Plakias is definitely worth a visit offering the opportunity of plenty of places and beaches to visit or for a relaxing time in the village or in the stylish beach bar at the eastern end.
If you do then I recommend staying at Morpheas Appartments.

We stayed for only 6 nights during a 3 week tour of central Crete but will return for a longer stay next time. Our apartment was so well appointed it had everything we needed and more.

We had visited Plakias twice before just for the day from Chania and couldn't work out why we liked it so much - our photos showed a rather scruffy beach and not very beautiful buildings but there was an atmosphere about it we loved. The famous Plakias wind blew strongly for the whole 6 days this trip, but we found it only invigorating and loved the place even more.

This year we had time to explore the surrounding area and discovered many little beaches and coves to swim in, each with its own character, beautiful mountains, history, interesting monasteries and people who made time to speak to you, even at the end of a busy season. Cities like Chania, beautiful as they are, seemed a little harsh and rushed by comparison.

The owner Manolis made us feel welcome and was very patient answering our questions. Our apartment was spacious, quiet and cleaned by a young lady who was both thorough and sensitive to our needs. We could see the mountains from our balcony and a little strip of the beach but the studios at the front have the ultimate seaview and facing south, are a great place to top up tans.

And all this at a reasonable price.

have just returned from another visit to the Morpheas apartment in Plakias. Spotlessly clean with wonderful views and welcoming owners. Definitely recommended.
