Plaka Chania: A Coastal Haven Preserving its Traditional Essence

Plaka in Chania treats visitors to a unique vantage point, showcasing the sandy shores of Almyrida and a substantial portion of Souda Bay.

According to the Municipality of Apokoronas, the village's name likely draws inspiration from the shale rock prevalent in the area, mirroring the nomenclature of two other settlements in Crete (Viannos and Mirabello).

Plaka is a haven for those seeking a blend of water sports, diving, fishing, hiking, and more. The area seamlessly intertwines with the captivating hinterland of Apokoronas, offering a plethora of activities related to both the sea and the picturesque landscapes.
