Top Plakias Hotel Reviews

Grecotel Plaza Beach House

8/10 Good

"Clean room, attentive staff"

The Syntopia Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel is clean, had great vibe and interior design. Amenities include a small gym with good equipment and a yoga studio. Good was fantastic, great section for meat and non-meat eaters. Restaurant and bar staff very friendly and good service. Good selection of pools, just have to be up early for main pool ‘best’ beds, with canopies. Can’t fault the hotel but was disappointed with the reception service. We went for our honeymoon and pre-told the hotel. We weren’t given an upgrade like many couple we spoke to and like many reviews show. We actually were given a different room for the 1st night because our original room was broken. Meaning we had to move room the following morning and couldn’t unpack and relax the night of arrival. The room was bigger and reception made it sound like they were giving a complimentary upgrade (for 12 hours), though it was only because they had to and it actually gave us more inconvenience. As a ‘sorry’ we got given the same fruit platter and sparkling that we would have got anyway as it was our honeymoon. After that bad start the rest of the stay was lovely. "

What beach activities should we do in Plakias?

The best beach activities in Plakias depend on your preference for relaxation, water sports, or exploring the natural beauty of the coastline.

For those looking for a relaxing beach day, Plakias Beach itself is an excellent choice. It's a long, sandy beach with shallow, clear waters, making it ideal for swimming and sunbathing.

Couples might enjoy a walk along the coastal path west of Plakias, which leads to the smaller, more secluded Skinos Beach. It's a quieter spot, superb for a peaceful afternoon by the sea away from the main beach.

Is it cheaper to book flights and a beach hotel in Plakias as a package?

Booking a beach hotel and flight package on Expedia can be cheaper than booking flights and hotels separately. Bundling can lead to significant savings, especially for international travel or when booking a beach vacation package well in advance.

With access to over 300,000 hotels worldwide, Expedia makes it easy to build the perfect travel package.

Can I cancel my beach hotel reservation on Expedia?

Many Expedia hotel reservations are refundable, provided that you cancel before the hotel's cancellation deadline. This is often within 24-48 hours of your scheduled arrival. Be sure to check your booking confirmation for the exact cancellation policy. For maximum flexibility, use Expedia's "Fully refundable property" filter during your search to find the right beach hotel in Plakias for you.
