Further details
Sinefo Ennea is ideally suited to a wide range of guests and we have had positive and enthusiastic feedback from everyone who has stayed this year, including several repeat clients. There were couples seeking the chance to 'chill out'; a baby's first holiday; energetic under 10's; older children and their parents; teenagers; people who hired cars; those who explored on foot and by taxi and some who even fell in love with Plaka! Plaka comes alive in the evenings and its tavernas all serve excellent food. The atmosphere is relaxed and friendly. The village of Plaka and surrounding area was featured in the film of Zorba the Greek.
Almirida provides a wider selection of eating places, most are on the beachfront with views over the sea to the twinkling lights of the Akrotiri peninsula, a wi-fi internet cafe/bar is also available. The nearest bank and pharmacy are located in Kalives, a 10 minute drive. A not-to-be-missed experience in Kalives is the popular Zorbas taverna opposite the church where your meal will be punctuated by the loud chimes of the church clock. The closest health centre to Plaka is situated in Vamos (15 minutes by car) and Chania has the nearest hospital (30 minutes).
