Plaka Beach
Παραλία Πλάκα
🤿 Good snorkelling
The last beach before the island runs out: sand and shingle at the north-eastern tip, under the lighthouse headland, with nothing between you and the open sea towards Imbros. The drive out is long and the last part unsurfaced. Come for the emptiness and the water clarity rather than for comfort, and bring everything, because the nearest shop is half an hour away.
