Plakias (Greek: Πλακιάς) is a village on the south coast of the Greek island of Crete, in the Rethymno Prefecture, about 30 kilometres south of the city of Rethymno.
It is part of the municipality Foinikas. It is surrounded by mountains to the north and the Libyan Sea to the south.
Initially a fishing jetty and a few houses, Plakias developed in the last few decades into a tourist resort. The first official notice of Plakias was in 1961, when it was mentioned in a census as the permanent home of six fishermen. The history of surrounding mountain villages like Myrthios and Sellia goes back into the 10th century, when the Byzantine Emperor Nikephoros II Phokas (961 AD) built roads and bridges in order to link those villages.
Selia is a small village between Rodakino and Plakias and cose to Kotsifou gorge. Standing 280m over the sea, you can walk here in one hour from Plakias. The view to every side is breathtaking and specialy to Plakias bay and to Mirthios village. It’s a sleepy traditional village with a less touristy feel than Mirthios.
There’s a cheese factory here, which produces the local cheese you can buy in all the supermarkets.
Approximately 12 km west of Sellia is the village of Rodakino, with its marvellous beach of Korakas south of the village. Although the road to Rodakino is very twisty you will enjoy the magnificent landscape.
