Plaka (Πλάκα) is a small village 5.4 kilometers (3 miles) from Gavalochori that overlooks Souda Bay. Because it was nearly destroyed by a tornado in 1960, many of its buildings are more modern than what you will see in other villages in the area. The upper part of the village, though, still retains a traditional feel with narrow lanes and stone houses. Plaka is a village where many expats from the UK have settled, so don’t be surprised if you hear a lot of British accents here. It is particularly known for its seven tavernas and kafeneia (coffeeshops/pubs), many of which are open in the winter.
