Spitaki, Plakias Overview
Spitaki is located in Plakias, Greece. Rated 9.2 out of 10 based on 12 guest reviews.
Spitaki is a practical base for a laid-back stay in Plakias, Greece, with a guest rating of 9.2/10 from 12 reviews. Set on Ag. Vasiliou Street, it suits travelers who want a quieter home base while still being close enough to reach Plakias Beach and the port area for evening walks. The property is family-friendly and also accepts pets, which is a big draw for groups who don’t want to leave animals behind. Reviews commonly mention an easy, low-stress rhythm to the stay: free WiFi for planning days out, and free parking on-site for arrivals by car. If you’re road-tripping along Crete’s south coast, having parking without extra hassle matters.
The home setup is geared toward longer, more comfortable stays, with the kind of everyday convenience that helps when you’re not spending every hour out. Guests often highlight the comfort of air conditioning and heating, which is useful when temperatures shift between beach afternoons and cooler evenings. For day trips, you can reach Kourtaliotiko Gorge in about 18 km for hiking and dramatic scenery, while Preveli Beach and its palm forest are roughly 42 km away for a full beach-and-nature outing.
Spitaki is best for families, pet owners, and self-drive travelers who value free parking, reliable WiFi, and a straightforward base in Plakias rather than a hotel-style bustle.
