Plakias is a pleasant resort on the south coast of Crete, about 37 kilometers from Rethymno. It is located on a long sandy beach with views of the Libyan Sea and the surrounding mountains, so it feels calmer than the large northern resorts. It is a good starting point for trips to the beaches of Damnoni, Ammoudi, Schinaria or Preveli, and at the same time offers enough tavernas, accommodation and nightlife for a relaxing stay by the sea.
