Platanakia Beach

Platanakia beach is an isolated cove, mostly deserted, and is guarded by towering cliffs. The beach is a mixture of sandy and rocky bits, making it a perfect retreat for those seeking solitude, even in the heart of summer. The nearby trees provide natural shade.To reach the beach from the village of Campos on foot, one has to cross the two-hour-long green path through the gorge, which is adorned with plane trees and has a river that flows all year round.
