THE VILLAGE AND THE BEACH OF PLAKA IN CRETE
The road from Elounda continues following the coastline to the north to the
small village at the end of the peninsula, Plaka. Plaka has good quality fish
restaurants near the sea and small hotels and tavernas. The beaches are small
and with big pebbles, but relatively uncrowded and much more pleasant than
those at Elounda.
Plaka has the islet of Spinalonga directly in front. There is a small pier here
where fishermen are willing to ferry you across to see the ruins. There are
also organized boat trips from Elounda and Agios Nikolaos.
