A picture-perfect stretch of shore on the west coast, Plaka Beach is long and wide, with dunes and just the occasional building behind.
At four kilometres there’s plenty of room for everyone, whether you want to sunbathe in solitude or hire a sun lounger and make use of the beach bars and tavernas behind.
The more secluded southern end on the way to the village of Plaka is preferred by naturists, while to the north there’s a watersports centre for wakeboarding, stand-up paddleboarding and windsurfing.
