Plaka Beach

Quiet beach with shower. Perfect clean water, good for snorkeling, lots of fishes. Less crowded than Anthony Quinn and Ladiko beach, because water gets deep quickly, not so great for kids. There are plenty of shadow area in the woods if you don't want to pay 20 eur for sunbeds. Be careful with the ladder.

Directions/ beach/ snorkeling/ diving -> Firstly you need to be quite able bodied to get down here. There's some steps by the Anthony Quinn bay car park ( free parking ) . The rocks can be a little sharp/ slippery so definitely bring swim shoes as there's no sand it's more like a cliff face. There's a small amount of beach chairs on the concreted area with umbrellas to rent for about 10-15 euros. Lots of people using floor space too, it does get a tiny bit of shade on the far east point, lots less rocks in the sea than Anthony Quinn bay so it makes it for a safer swim, has a pier and ladder to get up and down too. Please be aware of sea urchins and lionfish (as lionfish can paralyse you). Water was absolutely crystal clear, making it perfect for snorkeling and free diving.

Decent swim & snorkelling but be careful.Parking area was crowded as it is shared with Anthony Quinn bay.Paid €20 for 2 sunbeds with an umbrella.The beach and entrance to the sea is rocky so bring flip flops or water shoes. The sea here is good for snorkelling but be careful as there are urchins and we even saw a lionfishThe bay had quite a lot of boats coming and going, and unfortunately there was a bit of plastic and debris in the water.Wouldn’t recommend if you’re not a confident swimmer as it gets deep quite quickly

The scenery is beautiful, but it is very dirty. The surroundings are full of toilet papers and garbage. It's a shame, really..

It's fine until the early afternoon. Then there are too many people and too much noise. Some people even sit between the sunbeds. It's unacceptable and truly shameful for these people. Avoid
