Plakias

The picturesque Plakias beach stretches along the coast of the same-name city located on the Greek island of Crete. The beach boasts a sandy terrain that is regularly monitored by lifeguards, making it a safe option for families. However, it caters to nudists as well, and pets are also welcome. Being one of the island's longest beaches, spanning 1.3 kilometers, Plakias beach features a stunning cliff called Gonates on its eastern side. The cliff is named after the epic hero Digenis, who once knelt there to drink water from a spring. As a result of being part of the city of Plakias, the beach has excellent tourist facilities, including parking, bars, restaurants, restrooms, loungers, and showers.
