P
Plaka
Πλάκα (Plaka) is a historic anchorage off the northeastern coast of Crete, sitting near the traditional village of the same name. You drop the hook in calm, clear waters with the rugged Cretan mountains rising behind and the charming whitewashed village just a short dinghy ride ashore. It's a quiet, unhurried spot that gives you easy access to local tavernas and the laid-back rhythm of rural Crete.
