3 star hotels in Plakias

During our first vacation at Alianthos, we noticed how well this hotel is managed. Many visits later our point of view rests unchanged. Friendly staff, nothing is too much trouble, in short, you feel welcome here. Restaurant Amalthea manages to deliver the best cuisine you could wish for, every year again. All credits to chef Sotiris, who presents refined, flavorful dishes that do NOT become boring...

Alianthos Garden Hotel in Plakias, Crete is a real example of paradise by the sea. Those who experience the long transver are rewarded at journey’s end. The transfer is an opportunity to get to know the island in all her beauty. A sample of greater things. The warmest of greetings at reception is the start of a magical stay. Enjoy a cocktail at Nymphes, the Hotel bar, supplied by friendly staff...

Loved the hotel. The food was amazing. The staff were extra nice & made you feel very welcome. It was a delightful stay in Plakias

If the gods smiled in your favor you couldn't have a better experience. From a landscape and architectural design perspective the hotel is beautifully situated giving you curated views of the award winning Plakias beachfront. The choice of flora on the site includes a variety of local plant species mixed with English style hedges. There is a pool, terras and play area outside where you also have lemon...

The hotel has a great location in the city center, surrounded by numerous shops and restaurants. The rooms are clean and serviced daily. The view from the window is beautiful, overlooking the mountainous landscape. The food is good, and everyone will find something to enjoy.

Food buffet was great with many many options. Bed comfort was excellent. The shower pressure is very high so you could get a massage sort of while showering lol.

We stayed for 10 days during our vacation in Greece and enjoyed it very much :). It's a smaller hotel with super friendly staff. Rooms were cozy and cleaned every day. Breakfast is served in Myrtis hotel just next door. The pool on the roof is available to use for free along with the pool in their neighbouring hotel Myrtis. Just a few minutes by foot and you get to the centre of Plakias with all amenities...

Very good breakfast, quality beds, very friendly staff, nice little town - but windy. So rent a car is almost a must to have a pleasant holiday. From Plakias there is also a boat to some southern beaches.

Great experience, such nice people and good location. 2 minutes to go to beach, nice pool and clean rooms.

Really enjoyed my stay at Porto Plakias 27/5-3/6.2025. The rooms were clean and really nice. The staff was polite and helpful. The breakfast really good. And I really would like to go back someday with my family. Thank you for a nice week 🥰

Our stay at this wonderful location in Crete was truly memorable. The location itself is perfect, beautifully situated with stunning views and close to everything we wanted to explore. The people were incredibly welcoming and friendly, making us feel right at home from the moment we arrived. The service was exceptional, with the staff always attentive and ready to help with anything we needed. The...

Awesome location ! 1 minute from the beach and a good place to start a hike the opposite way. The service and staff was 🤩 I felt like I was talking to family. The rooms had everything included. Perfect place.

Excellent location right on the beach in the centre of the resort but wasn't noisy. Staff were very helpful, friendly and hard working. We were half board and found the food to be excellent with good choices at both breakfast and dinner. Access to the shared pool at the neighbouring hotel was also very good with the pool area relaxed and to a high standard.

The food is so good and the staff is amazing. Ecxellent service and the view from the reastaurant is spot on. We’ve been here many times and hopefully we get back again. Our absolutely favourite in Plakias.

Perfect beach hotel It is a perfect beach stay in Crete, away from hussles, very nice half board service, old but enough hotel. Very good kitchen.

Great hotel in Plakias Great stay in the middle of Plakias beach. Very comfortable, nice sea view, great breakfast - all very good.

We were visiting Plakias for the first time, our requirements were simple, a hotel close to the beach, a clean room with a sea view and a comfortable bed. The Alianthos delivered all this and more. The hotel is perfectly positioned just across the road from the sea. Our room was light and airy, with plenty of storage space. The bed was large and comfortable. The breakfast buffet was excellent with...

I've just returned from a wonderful stay at the Alianthos Beach Hotel/Anthos Apartments. I have visited this family run hotel a number of times over the past 15 years and it never disappoints. With recent renovations including the seaside restaurant right by the wonderful Plakias beach it just gets even better. The wonderful breakfast they serve in the morning really sets you up for a day exploring...

Lovely hotel, scenic setting, welcoming staff and very responsive indeed. Family run, can’t fault it. Like many Cretan hotels, they only do breakfast, not evening meals.

Amazing hotel on the west side of Plakias, close to the center, opposite the beach with a stunning view of the Libyan Sea. Spacious and spotlessly clean rooms make the stay at the hotel enjoyable. The breakfast is amazing and the staff is very helpful with a smile. We definately stay here again and we recommend it to anyone visiting Plakias.

Very comfortable hotel in Plakias. It is very close to the center and to a beautiful beach. The rooms are very good. The staff is nice and the hotel has a car park

Wonderful stay at this hotel! It was a trip to celebrate our anniversary and this hotel made our stay special! Tastefully decor in the room and lovely view.

Hard to say where to start: the people working in the hotel were extremely helpful and nice; there are several comfortable beaches in walking distance; the view from the balcony at the seas and sky has no comparison; the breakfast was plentiful and tasty.... perfect place to spend a lazy, peaceful vacation

Nice property, quiet and clean with friendly staff. We will definitely be back

Beautiful clean hotel with good proximity to Plakias and plenty of free parking. The breakfast buffet has plenty of options with different types of eggs, cheeses, cold cuts, fresh vegetables, Greek yogurt with many add-ins, cereal, and numerous pastry options, fresh juices, and an espresso machine. We are very glad we chose to stay at this hotel and we will stay again if we’re back in the area.

Yet another great 2 weeks at Sofia (3rd visit) , location great, rooms clean and comfortable, great choice for breakfast, nothing more to add other than booked again for next year, thanks to all the team at sofia, see you next year :-).

Great and very friendly family run Hotel with a super breakfast buffet. Free parking around the corner as well as access to a lot of restaurants and shops. Highly recommended if you look for accommodation in the area of Plakias.

Great location within resort. Rooms are well decorated and equipped. The beds are enormous and very comfortable. Rooms are cleaned every day and bedding and towels changed every 3 days. Family run to a very high standard. Excellent breakfast every day with lots of choice.

I stayed at this hotel three times and found it great. Central location. Very clean, comfortable rooms. The staff tries hard and helps with any issues. Breakfast buffet was very good, I could find everything I wanted. Plakias is a beautiful place with plenty outstanding beaches and walking routes nearby. If I return to Plakia, I’ll book this hotel again for sure!

Friendly staff. Easy parking on its private lot. Not on main business street but close to it and the beach.

An absolutely amazing experience! The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, making us feel welcome from the very first moment. The room was spotless, beautifully decorated, and extremely comfortable. The breakfast was delicious with plenty of fresh options, and the hotel’s location was perfect — close to everything but still quiet and relaxing. If you’re looking for luxury, comfort, and exceptional...

The hotel staff is very polite and attentive. The hotel is very clean. The location of the hotel is very good, close to the beach. The rooms are clean and the breakfast is more than enough. I definitely recommend it.

10 days stay in September 2024. Room small, but clean, everyday cleaned with fresh towels. Quiet, air conditioning included. Located on the quiet small street with no traffic. Our room was on ground floor with small.balxony from the street side, but very quiet. Fantastic breakfast seevice with the big range of food.

First of all, thank you very much for the wonderful and welcoming time at your hotel. It's a small, family-run hotel.

Wonderfully kind people, delicious breakfast. The room was cleaned every day.

Very nice, quiet location further up in the village. Walking into town is easy. The hotel is small and lovingly run by the owners. Very good contact with them. Very friendly service.

Small and lovely hotel run by a gean speaking family.

Were there in summer 2019. The hotel is located on a steep road about 50m above the rest of the town, with a beautiful view of the town and the mountains. After 3 minutes you are already on a beautiful beach and have various shops and numerous great restaurants nearby. Jannis, the owner, gave us a very friendly welcome. Every day he speaks to all of his guests, and every day he taught us something...

If you like it quiet and relaxed, you should definitely go on holiday here. The owners Janni and Irini are very nice hosts and we felt very comfortable. The only thing that may have been mentioned is for people who are hard at work, It is less suitable because the access is a bit cumbersome, but only a small piece. But for everyone else highly recommended.

Great location — very close to the sea and the main street with shops, cafés, and restaurants. The rooms were clean. We stayed in an apartment with two bedrooms connected by a door and two terraces — it was a perfect setup for us (2 adults and 2 kids). The atmosphere was very relaxed and friendly. I absolutely loved the poolside playlist — Chris Rea, Sting, Sade, and more. Great vibes! Sometimes...

This June, me and my husband spent our holiday for the third time at this family run hotel. The atmosphere is great! We feel like home, and attend to come back again. These studios are centraly located, just steps to the main street, numerous tavernas and supermarkets as well as the see sidewalk, but very quite and calm. The whole place, Plakias is very relaxing and quite. Ideal for a real rest. ...

Everything was great, we enjoyed it very much. :)

Its nice hotel in nice Plakias area. WiFi is low in hotel. We had an offer from TUI with breakfast and dinner - but only breakfast is in the hotel and dinner is on vocher in Gorgona restaurant but witout drinks you have to pay extra. And hotel has some addidrional building few minutes from main hotel building.

My wife and I got back from a week's holiday at this hotel yesterday. We really enjoyed it. Staff were helpful and friendly and every thing was very clean and tidy. The pool, which we never used, was very deep deep at one end - 2.7 m I think. There was nothing wrong with it, but the sea and beaches nearby were so nice, we went there instead. There were plenty of free sunbeds right by the pool...

Great value for money, very friendly owners and staff. excellent cleaning in room frequent towel and bedding change, beds made daily, whatever they used either on fabric softener or cleaning solution smelled gorgeous. Breakfast as expected , loved the choice of fresh fruit. Always either a hard boiled, fried or scrambled egg . Bacon but no heated area so bacon often cold. Fresh bread/toast, Greek...

WARM welcome. VERY clean room. Can hear the waves at night.

Very nice small hotel. Friendly host and clean room. Some furniture was a little bit tired but refrigerator and kettle were fine.

For us Studio Stella is the place to stay in Plakias. Nice rooms including a kitchen and balcony. But mostly we feel there the welcoming warmth of the owners. This makes us keep coming back.

First time I've stayed here, but I've been to Plakias many times. Stella has it's regulars and it's easy to see why. Basic accommodation but lovingly cared for. Owner is a great guy. Would certainly think of using Stella again.

Marcos and the delightful Evi..... I love them both. Such a nice couple and so welcoming. We will be back to stay with you. No fuss no frills, just a nice place to stay with honest people.

Τουλάχιστον decent επιλογή με καλή τιμή, ωραία τοποθεσία και θέα. Το δωμάτιο πολύ άνετο και όμορφο. Δεν έχω κάτι αρνητικό να σχολιάσω πραγματικά. Η κοπέλα στην reception ευγενέστατη και βοηθητική. Θα ξαναπήγαινα άνετα.

We stayed at the Louise apartment. Everything was perfect and the unobstructed sea view from the large balcony was spectacular. We could hear the waves at night, which was very relaxing, and we could stare at the stars (half balcony was roofless, I guess for this reason). We also very much appreciate that Thalassa apartments allows pets, and we could have our pet friends, Jolene and Navajo with us...
