Plakias is a long, sweeping beach on the southern coast of Crete, sheltered by dramatic limestone cliffs and backed by a small seaside village of the same name. Its clear, deep-blue waters and reliable winds make it equally popular with swimmers and windsurfers alike. The surrounding gorges and coastal paths offer rewarding hikes for those looking to explore the wild, unspoiled landscape of the Rethymno region.
