Plaka: Evolving from a Fishing Village to a Thriving Tourist Resort
ABOUT
Plaka is located opposite Spinalonga, also known as the Leper Island, on the west coast of the Elounda lagoon.
The history of Plaka is intricately connected to Spinalonga, as it served as the departure point for supplying the patients with necessary provisions.
A traditional fishing village, Plaka is blessed with a fishing shelter and pristine pebble beaches offering crystal-clear waters. Situated just a stone's throw away from Elounda, it presents a quieter alternative to its bustling counterpart. Today it is evolving into a cosmopolitan resort with remarkable tourist facilities, beautiful shops and picturesque fish tavernas.
