✓ Manually calibrated shoreline

The orientation of the shore and the shelter of the bay were checked one by one on the map for every beach — they are not derived automatically.

Plaka beach lies beneath the striking red cliffs of Tsakonia, at the small port of Leonidio. It is organized with pebbles, offering calm waters and natural protection from the bay. Ideal for relaxation and swimming, with views of the Aegean Sea.

Wind & waves: when to go

The beach faces east. With westerly winds the air flows offshore and the water near the shore stays flat; with easterly winds the sea builds up waves onto the beach. The shape of the coastline offers partial shelter, cutting down part of the swell.
