Plaka is located in the western part of Crete, in the most traditional village of the island. It is located above from the small coast town, and it has a very healthy climate. The inhabitants of Plaka produce selected olive oil, wine and 'Tsikoudia', Cretan liquor. Plaka and the neighbouring villages are famous, as the Oscar nominated movie ‘Alexis Zorbas’ with Anthony Quinn was filmed here. In the village, you will find a few beautiful taverns, coffees and supermarkets. There is only 1 km to the sandy beaches of Almyrida. Within 5 km, you can reach the bigger town of Kalyves, where you can find a post office, a bank, and a large choice of shops.
