Youth Hostel Plakias

Youth hostel Plakias was the best hostel experience I´ve yet had. There is a wonderful fun, social, and comfortable relaxing atmosphere. I think most of this is due to Oolie (sorry if that´s spelled wrong) who runs the hostel. He is very kind, very helpful, and does a lot to enhance the experience for people, even when it means no gain for him. I will recommend this hostel for anyone looking to experience Crete, or just go somewhere to enjoy the sun and good people.

I can´t say enough about this place! It has a very relaxed environment, situated in a quiet spot away from the main drag, that comes to life at night. While I was there, we had a huge BBQ and got one of the musicians staying there to put on a performance. Uli, the hostel manager, was extremely friendly and accommodating. In the evenings, he´d mingle with all the guests over a few beers. Plaxias is the perfect place for relaxation as well as outdoor activities.

One of the best hostels I have ever stayed at! Very chill atmosphere and cool people!

Great value, great peollepeople, great atmosphere. So glad another traveller recommended this place to me.
