Plakias Resorts in Μυρθιανος Πλακιάς 740 60, open June–October.
Plakias Resorts occupies a restored 1970s beachfront property that once served as a modest family-run guesthouse before undergoing comprehensive renovation to emerge as a contemporary hospitality destination.
The property retains its Cretan architectural bones while incorporating modern amenities across 45 rooms and suites.
Set directly on Plakias Beach with unobstructed Libyan Sea views, the resort functions as both intimate accommodation and full-service wedding venue.
I recently stayed at Plakias Resort and had a fantastic experience overall. The resort itself is amazing—modern, clean, and very well-maintained. The location is perfect, just a short walking distance to a market and small shopping center, which made it very convenient for picking up anything we needed. The beach nearby is beautiful, and the beach bar is a great spot to relax and enjoy the view with a drink in hand. Everything felt peaceful and easygoing, ideal for a relaxing holiday. The only downside I noticed was the lack of entertainment. Unlike some nearby hotels that offered live music, poolside zumba, and other fun activities, Plakias Resort didn’t have an entertainment team or organized events. If you're looking for a more lively or social atmosphere in the evenings, this might be something to consider. That said, if you're after a quiet, relaxing stay in a beautiful location with great facilities, I would absolutely recommend Plakias Resort.
