A Full-Day Excursion to Plakias!
The Municipality of Agios Vasilios offers two distinct faces: the lively, tourist-friendly coastal areas and the quieter, more traditional inland villages.
Both are worth exploring, but today’s adventure takes you from charming villages to the shimmering waters of Plakias.
From traditional villages to idyllic beaches, this day trip combines the best of Crete’s inland charm and coastal beauty!
*This travel plan is ideal for the summer season, from April to October, when Plakias is dressed in its finest and ready to welcome its visitors!
Stop 1: Agouseliana
Your day begins in the picturesque village of Agouseliana, a favorite among adventure seekers thanks to its proximity to stunning gorges and scenic routes. It’s the perfect spot to kick off your excursion with a touch of Cretan tradition before hitting the beaches.
At the village’s taverna “Tasoula,” enjoy a leisurely morning coffee paired with a hearty Cretan omelette filled with fresh, seasonal greens. It’s a delicious and energizing start to the day!
Stop 2: Plakias
Recharged and ready to go? Drive about 25 minutes to the coastal haven of Plakias.
The beach here is fully organized, offering umbrellas, sunbeds, and crystal-clear waters that invite endless swimming. Whether you’re sunbathing, snorkeling, or simply taking in the scenery, Plakias promises a slice of paradise.
Dinner by the Waves
As the sun sets, head to Apanemo, a seafront eatery that’s the perfect finale to your day. Start with their mouthwatering garlic bread and follow it with your choice of meat grilled to perfection over open coals. Dining by the sea, with the sound of waves as your soundtrack, is an unforgettable way to end your excursion.
