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.

The jewel in the crown is the most southerly lending library in Europe, most European languages held.
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. 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!
We just got the smallest room category because everything was sold out, but it turned out that also this rooms are really beautiful with a perfect view from the little private balcony. For this price, we never got something this nice. The house is perfectly clean and the garden is so nice. The walking distance are very good for persons who like to stay a bit outside (max. 10 minutes walk to the main beach, but just 3 minutes to the nearest beach and a very nice restaurant). We can highly recommend this beautiful hotel.
The villa has high quality finishing, furniture and decoration, it feels luxury and provides everything you need. Owners were around and super helpful, while also very discrete.
We were 4 adults and 2 kids. We stayed in villa no 3 with 3 bedrooms and it was perfect size for us. The bedrooms upstairs with ensuite bathrooms are stunning.
Change of towels and extra towels for pool was also a big plus.
Location is a bit uphill when coming from the beach and has partial sea view (from balcony on upper floor)
Location, very friendly staff, amazing views.
After the initial disappointment at the basic rooms we found the location ideal. At the quiet end of the beach we enjoyed peace and quiet in our room and could enjoy the amazing views of the mountains and the sea from our balcony. The bed was very comfortable and bathroom had a great shower. The walk into town is a pleasant 15 mins - perfect after a meal at Antonio’s and a few drinks on the beach.
Friendly people and accommodating. Lots of books that people left. I asked if anyone left an umbrella and the manager said "here" and handed me a new one to use..but it was the end of the season. Decent line to dry clothes on the balcony. Really in the center of the town and night life and beach but set back a little so it's quiet. Map on booking does not show that there is a walking cut-through right to the main Cafe and beach street
First of all the location in Plakias, south of Crete, on sandy beach is perfect. Beautiful small village away from the busy area of the island. The resort offers apartments that include all what a family needs. We stayed at the new place which was really shiny and clean with amazing sea panoramic view. There are 4 pools and are all quite and chill. The staff was really friendly and helpful.
Everything was amazing!
In front of the beach , very quiet , we had a private beach basically, the apartment has everything we needed. Also with 2 babies they provide us baby chairs and tab for them.
Sofia ,Chriss everyone did everything for us so we can have the best vacations.
All te recommendations that they wrote were absolutely amazing.
We didn’t want to leave

Beautiful location at the end of Plakias beach. Quiet location with the main area for restaurants and shops just a quick walk or drive away. Hotel was modern, brand new and very clean. 30 second walk to the beach, this was also the best side of Plakias beach with no rocks and less crowds. Really enjoyed our stay here, thank you!
Hotel is on a perfect location right on the Plakias beach. The breakfast is good and you have variety of food. Room was clean, unfortunately we don't have nice view. The woman from reception Violeta was very polite and helpful. Hotel have sunbeds and umbrellas on the beach and there are free.
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!
Everything we were looking for...Τhe room is spacious, well-equiped and modern...Very very close to Plakias village...In close proximity to Damnoni and Ammoudi beaches..Free parking space available..The best room we have stayed in Southern Crete..Highly recommended..
The Sofia Hotel was beautiful and a unique experience. The hotel offered tranquility, good food with a fantastically beautiful location (Plakias). We were also very welcomed by a top host (Vagelis) and other staff (family) of the hotel. Definitely highly recommended!
Best value for your money that we found on Crete. Clean pools, great ocean access, large rooms with views and good food. The facilities are dated but great value for your nightly rate. The staff are amazing very helpful and professional.
Beautiful hotel facing the sea...room well equpped with a nice balcony. We wake up listening the sea. Kind and helpfull staff. Useful parking, near Plakias but quite and relaxing position.
Great value for money. Good sized flat with comfy bed. Close to some awesome beaches in Plakias. Damnoni beach is at walking distance. Had a dedicated parking space which was comfortable.
