Good seafood, a table by the sea, and nowhere else you need to be.

Today’s catch: tender squid with fresh vegetables, served the Sofia way. 🩵

Plakias began as a small fishing community by the sea. Sofia’s husband Giorgos was a fisherman, bringing the day’s catch back to the little taverna where she cooked, welcomed people and gathered them around her table.

Efthimis grew up with the sea as part of everyday life. We’ve heard some of his stories before. Maybe it’s time for a few more? Let us know…🩵

For now, we’ll leave you with Efthimis, his boat and the sound of the sea. Thanks a lot to for the beautiful footage 🩵🫶🏽🌞

Today we celebrate Sofia 🩵 The woman who opened a little taverna in Plakias, back when the village was still a small fishing community by the sea.

The little taverna grew. Plakias grew. And today, Sofia is a much bigger place than it was back then, still guided by the same values and traditions.

Sofia’s name is still above the door, and her story is still part of every table we set. Today, we celebrate our Sofia and the restaurant that carries her name with pride.

Χρόνια πολλά, to our Sofia and all the Sofias celebrating their name day today. Wishing you all a beautiful and blessed year ahead. 🩵

We love hearing what Sofia means to the people who come through our doors.

Over the years, many of our guests have become familiar faces, returning year after year and becoming part of the Sofia family.

Here’s what some of our guests have to say about the place they keep coming back to. 🩵

Limanaki, just a few steps from Sofia.

A little corner of Plakias for a swim, a few hours in the sun and the kind of afternoon you don’t need to plan.

Save this one for your next day by the sea. 🩵

Καλό μήνα, September. 🩵 Every month arrives with its own little beginning. A chance to slow down, start again, make plans, or simply enjoy what is already here.

Slowly, slowly, summer begins to soften. The days grow a little quieter, the evenings a little gentler, but here in Plakias, there is still plenty of sunshine, warm sea and time for one more long lunch by the water.
May September bring you good days, good people, a little more time for the things you love, and many reasons to sit around a table and stay a little longer.

We’re looking forward to familiar faces, old friends and new ones, and all the beautiful hours this month will bring.

Καλό μήνα από όλους μας στη Σοφία. 🩵

Over the last few days, the hearts and thoughts of all of us at the ‘Sofia’ Restaurant have been with the Municipality of Agios Vasilios and all the areas of southern Rethymno that are being severely affected by the devastating fires.

We express our deep sorrow at the loss of our fellow citizens and the biblical devastation of our region. We wish to express our boundless respect and gratitude to the firefighters, volunteers and residents who are selflessly battling the flames under adverse conditions.

Our restaurant remains open and is operating as normal, providing a safe haven for those in the area.

We consider it our duty to offer practical support to those battling the fires.
In collaboration with the local authorities and volunteer groups, our kitchen is systematically preparing and distributing free meals and bottled water to firefighters, volunteers and displaced residents of the affected villages.

We wish for the fires to be extinguished quickly and for strength to all.

Crete has always found a way to rebuild itself through the solidarity of its people

These are days of deep sorrow for our region… Our sincerest condolences.

The entire team at the ‘Sofia’ Restaurant is deeply shocked by the loss of our fellow citizens in the devastating fires that struck the Amari area. There are no words that can ease the pain of this unjust loss.

We wish to express, from the bottom of our hearts, our most sincere and heartfelt condolences to the families, relatives and loved ones of those who have died.

The entire region of Rethymno mourns with you. We stand respectfully alongside those who are suffering at this time and continue to pray for the strength of the firefighters and volunteers battling on the front lines of the blaze.

Right by the harbour, in the heart of Plakias: Fresh Cretan cuisine, sea views, and a family tradition that has welcomed guests for generations.

We are looking forward to welcome you to Sofia this summer. 🩵
