Beaches around Plakias
Beaches in gorgeous surroundings and with crystal clear water is what Plakias offers in abundance.
There are so many beautiful beaches to choose from in the immediate surroundings. Within the walking distance of around an hour there are no less than 8 beaches, which makes Plakias almost never feel overcrowded.
On most beaches umbrellas and sunbeds are offered, while tavernas are right at the beach or within walking distance.
Each beach has its own characteristics and charm. There is also a beach for nudism (Ammoudaki), while on most other beaches there are parts where nudism is practiced as well. Remember the Cretans can be offended by public nudity so choose carefully and with respect.
The water is safe and, unless there are big waves, extremely clear. Be careful with strong eastern and western winds, and listen to the locals when they tell you there are parts it's better not to go for a swim that day.
Use the map below for directions, detailed information and pictures of all the beaches.
