Myrthios: Tradition, Gastronomy, and Unmatched Views

ABOUT

Nestled north of Plakias and south of Selia, Myrthios is a charming village offering breathtaking vistas of the Libyan Sea. This picturesque spot has seen continuous development in recent years, blossoming with wonderful tavernas overlooking Plakias beach and warm, welcoming locals, particularly vibrant during the summer months.

The village showcases high-quality accommodations and traditional stone houses, perfectly embodying Cretan hospitality. While there isn't a café for coffee lovers, a cozy little shop offers wooden souvenirs and gifts, infusing a Cycladic breeze into beautiful Myrthios.

Don't miss the church of the Transfiguration of the Savior, built before 961, and the church of Saint Charalambos, featuring a Venetian bell from 1589.
