Friendly people wondering around the small streets, fishermen and young children are some of those you will meet while you will enter the town and they will be more than happy to provide you with any kind of information you wish (most of the locals nowadays speak quite fluently English). In the town of Plakias the visitor can also find a supermarket, boutique, jewelry shop, a pharmacy, a Medical Center, Police Department and nearly everything is needed.
