Home for sale in Crete. Location Information:

Plaka is one of the best-known and most traditional villages in West Crete, in the Apokoronas area.

Plaka is 23 km from Chania and belongs to Vamos Municipality along with the neighboring villages of Almyrida and Kalyves.

Unlike these, Plaka is not on the coast but stands on a low hill (70 m high), less than a kilometer from Almyrida.

Plaka is a friendly little village, set out in a horseshoe shape on the hillside, with an excellent view of Almyrida and of course Souda Bay and the azure Sea of Crete.

The village is green with plants and largely preserves its lovely natural environment, as it is set on the slopes of Mount Drapanokefala with its verdant, varied vegetation.

You can see olive and plane trees, low scrub, and even organic farms, which do not detract from the charm of the area.

Plaka has about 400 permanent inhabitants, half of whom are foreigners, mainly British. The village largely preserves its traditional character, although the locals will tell you that recent building has meant it is beginning to lose its distinctive atmosphere.

Plaka has a lovely main square which is the focal point of the village. This is where locals and visitors alike meet in the cafeterias and kafeneia.
