Located in a perfect place to travel around Crete. We had the best trip ever. This hotel is clean comfortable ( very comfortable beds) and it is hard to leave. This is a hidden gem and excellent value for the money.
Built on Plaka Hill, Leste Luxury Homes offer independent, fully-equipped luxury houses with furnished verandas overlooking Souda Bay, the Akrotiri peninsula and gardens.

We had no catering reservation. Convenient supermarket is just about 150m up the hill so no problem to shop when needed. There are also very good restaurants close to the supermarket. Plaka is small community and quiet most of the time. There are nice sea and mountain views from Leste Homes. We have flown to Heraklion rented the car and drove to Plaka 124km. It would be more convenient to fly to Chania CHQ airport instead just about 30km from Leste Homes. I would recommend to hire car because it is easier to drop down to Almyrida beach. Hosts have been absolutely fantastic, hospitality above expectation, cleaning better than 5* hotel and host also shared with us traditional Greek dishes and wine, outstanding.

The property overlooks the bay and it is absolutely stunning. We loved the staff, the premises, the little animal farm and all the trees. It’s a great little family operated hotel.

Plaka is beautiful and very traditional.
Plaka is beautiful and very traditional. Excellent restaurants closeby. Amazing views across to Almyrida and also views of the mountain. We loved all of the restaurants and had great food in the four thst we went to. We had great souvlaki and moussaka. House wine in all were really good. We used the pool in Emerald apartments and just brought drinks while we were there, the view from the pool wS amazing. Very easy to get round Plaka, however we never walked back from Almyrida as it is very steep so had a taxi, 6 euros.

Plaka is a beautiful spot that has stunning views of the coast and Almyridia. It has a great selection of local restaurants and shops and is only a short walk down to the busier strip of restaurants, facilities and beaches. We had the most amazing time and the hosts could not do enough for us, it was so wonderful. A true home-from-home with special touches along the whole trip. I would highly recommend it to anyone asking. We will definitely revisit the special accommodation that we found in Plakias also, a great place to tour around the Chania region and beyond in Creta.

Plaka is a sweet little village close to beaches. It feels more authentic that staying in the resort areas and the restaurants are more traditional and much better prices! We found Plaka to be a very good base for exploring this part of Crete - it is only half an hour into Chania and it is also possible to drive to lots of beaches in a few minutes, one of them is only a ten minute walk away.

Plaka was the perfect location to capture views and set back from the busy tourist area of Almyrida Beach...It offers amenities such as a couple of super markets (walkable) and restaurants. It is a short drive to a main highway for easy access to beaches and roads to South side of the island. While Chania is a historic and iconic city, we were glad that we did not stay there - there are cruise ships that port there and bring in lots of tourists. Plaka is only 30 minutes from the airport and was the perfect location for our plans to hike, see ruins, experience various beaches and authentic villages.

Plaka is a great little traditional Greek village. Family run restaurants, with 2 local supermarkets small bars and a freak Italian restaurant. It’s a stones throw from alymirida beach which has even more sea front bars and restaurants

The villa is fantastic. Great location. It has all the equipment needed and more. Air-con in all the rooms. Nice pool with plenty of space for a family of four. Beautiful roof-terrace. Everything in working order.
Near super-markets and a couple of tavernas (5 min. walk). Short walk (15-20 min.) down to Almyrida with a great beach and many nice restaurants. Super happy with our stay. Would definitely come back.
We arrived very late (flight) but we were welcomed personally and taken to our room. The location is generally quiet and the view from the restaurant terrace is great. Our accommodation was fine, with plenty of space. The short walk up to the village centre, for our evening meals, was quite acceptable.
Amazing apartments and the host was fantastic - so friendly and welcoming. They really couldn’t do enough for you. Great location - views were fantastic and a 10 min walk to the beach.
Nice "retro" style house in Plaka. Three bedrooms (spacy master bedroom). Nice privacy in backyard with good size swimming pool. Location is good, near shops and restaurants.
