The beach
Plaka beach is located in east Pelion between the beaches of Agion Saranta and Ai Giannis. It is one of the most famous locations of Pelion and is visited every year by thousands of tourists especially during the hot summer days. Reasons are obvious: Clean crystal blue waters, lush vegetation reaching up to the sea and basic organization are among them. The beach has small pebbles of all colors, from white and semitransparent to grey and black and can be found till the first few meters of the sea’s floor, after that great craggy stones exist. The sea of Plaka must not be taken lightly,as it suddenly deepens and when northern winds are blowing, waves get high.
Plaka has basic organization with umbrellas and sun beds while for a small rest after swimming some coffee shops and restaurants are around. Its location is convenient and easy, from the neighboring beach of Ai Giannis one can come by walking
Since the beach doesn’t offer any sights, if you wish you can combine your swimming with the attractions of the nearby village, Agios Ioannis.
