A place to find yourself!

by Joenes - last update: Oct 28, 2007

More then just a tourist island!

Plakia Bay seen through the Kotsifu Gorge
I used to think that Crete was just another tourist packed island and when I first arrived in Heraklion and surroundings those thoughts, with a few exceptions, seemed right but when I travelled southwards I found the real Crete in all its beauty!
Plakias

My itinerary went through the window....

Since I had only 12 days on this first trip to Crete I made a travel schedule so I would be able to see as much as possible but once I got to Plakias that whole schedule went through the window because I just couldn't leave there..:-)

Plakias and surroundings

If you are looking for great hikes, beautiful nature, peace and quiet, perfect beaches, the perfect hostel and very nice locals this the place to be!

 Great page. I did a drive/camp trip on Crete a few years ago and loved it also. Isn't it great?
