About Plakias
We are located in Gerani, a small coastal village just outside of Rethymno, on the north coast of Crete. It’s the kind of place where daily life moves at a gentle pace familiar faces, morning greetings, and the feeling that you’re part of something real rather than passing through.
From the villas, you can walk to local bakeries, cafés, minimarkets, and traditional tavernas where lunch stretches into the afternoon. Many of our guests quickly fall into simple routines; morning coffee from the village bakery, a swim in the sea, focused work back at the villa, and shared dinners as the sun sets.
Gerani offers the best of both worlds: calm, space, and nature, with easy access to city life when you want it.
