Frequently asked questions

Which area of Plakias, Crete, Greece is best to stay in for beaches?
Plakias village centre is the top choice for travellers seeking the most convenient and walkable beach experience. Here, you can easily stroll to the water's edge and have immediate access to a delightful array of tavernas and essential services, ensuring a straightforward holiday.

For those who prioritise being closest to the finest beaches in the region, staying just east of town towards Damnoni, Ammoudaki, and Ammoudi offers the superb balance. This location provides quick access to several of the area's most stunning shores while still keeping you within easy reach of Plakias' amenities.

Should your heart be set on the iconic Preveli Beach, you might consider staying further east. However, be prepared for fewer facilities and a more day-trip style access, as this area is best suited for those specifically seeking that famous spot.
How much does a beach hotel in Plakias cost?
Prices for beach hotels in Plakias vary, but you can find a great deal from £56 on Expedia. You're likely to find lower rates if you're travelling during the off-peak season or mid-week. Find the best deals by being flexible with your dates, and sort search results by "Price: low to high" for our cheapest rates.
What is the best time of year to stay in a beach hotel in Plakias, Crete, Greece?
The most popular time to stay in a beach hotel in Plakias is from June through September. During these months, you'll experience wonderfully warm sea temperatures and abundant sunshine, with average daily temperatures often reaching into the high 20s or even low 30s Celsius, making it ideal for sunbathing, swimming, and enjoying all the beach activities Plakias has to offer. This period is the peak season, so you'll find the resort atmosphere at its fullest, with all restaurants, shops, and tour operators in full swing.

For those who appreciate a balance of lovely weather and a slightly more relaxed pace, September is a fantastic alternative. The sea remains beautifully warm for swimming, and the weather is still gloriously sunny, but the intense crowds of July and August begin to thin out.
What beach activities should we do in Plakias, Crete, Greece?
For an all-encompassing beach experience, Plakias Beach is a superb choice, offering a wide array of activities right on your doorstep. Here, you can enjoy swimming, sunbathing, paddleboarding, and even windsurfing when the breezes pick up. Its expansive length also makes it ideal for leisurely strolls along the bay, ensuring a relaxed yet engaging day by the sea.

For those seeking a more tranquil setting, the beaches of Souda, Ammoudi, and Damnoni provide calmer waters and secluded coves. These spots are particularly good for a peaceful swim or some gentle snorkeling, allowing you to unwind away from the main hub.

If your ideal beach day involves exploring vibrant underwater worlds, Skinaria (Shinaria) beach is an absolute must-visit. Renowned for its crystal-clear waters and fascinating rocky seabed, it offers some of the best snorkeling opportunities in the region, promising an unforgettable glimpse into marine life.

Adventure-seekers and couples looking for something truly unique should consider a trip to Preveli Beach. This stunning location combines a beautiful beach with the opportunity to explore a verdant palm forest and a river mouth, accessible by boat or a scenic hike. It's an ideal spot for a day-long excursion that blends relaxation with exploration.

For the most adventurous travellers, Kalypso Beach offers an exhilarating experience. It's a prime location for more serious snorkeling, scuba diving, and even cliff-jumping for those daring enough.
