Cavo Plako Villas

Superb site, very well maintained. The quiet in the middle of the olive fields. Exceptional Welcoming of katerina and Eva. The village of Palekastro is nearby, possibility to reach it on foot. Very close to the beach of Kouremenos to practice a sliding sport.

These apartments are situated along an unmade path/track outside of the village. They are sign posted but still tricky to navigate, as you have to drive round some small houses (very narrow) and they are about 300 yards further up the track. All around are olive groves..The apartments are well equipped, although could do with a toaster.. Most overlook the pool amd surrounding countryside. As all are self catering, to eat out means back to the village, where there are several fine tavernas/bars. The apartments are good if you enjoy peace and quiet, but not so if you have children as there is not much to do. From Palekastro, there are many small resorts around the coast, and the scenery is as dramatic as anywhere in Crete. It can get quite windy in this part of the island. Enjoyed our stay.

our studio is fine, clean but very basic. No extra touches. The bed is harder than we like. No coffee. No fruit. Not a feeling of being welcomed. Also, our space has no window towards the sea. Seems like the worst room in the place and it doesn’t seem full ( although it may be).. walkable to town, not far from Vai beach, and pool seems fine. But, this studio room doesn’t live up to what the complex seems to offer. in conclusion, we are disappointed. The experience could have been much better.
