    Plakias Youth Hostel

    Posted by PeterJSmith 19 April 2009

    Situated at the mouth of a spectacular gorge and set in a tranquil olive grove. This spotless hostel lends itself to long spring sojourns for the intrepid walker or beach lover alike.

    Eight person spacious dorms all with a patio, table and chairs surround a grass covered communal area with ample shade.

    The manager is on hand to take care of simple needs like internet access, bottles of local wine and ice cold Mythos beers. Breakfast is a simple and cheap affair but the community spirit is what makes the hostel buzz.

    Guests come from all over the world and some stay months or even the whole season to enjoy the local beaches and simple life that Plakias affords.

    A world away from the resorts of the north the Plakias youth hostel gives much in return for the thoughtful and social traveller.

    Plakias can be reached by bus from most major towns in the north of Crete.
