About this beach
Plathiena is exposed in the meltemi — often choppy on summer N/NE days. That comes from the measured shape of the coastline around it and our curated wind records — a seasonal picture, not a live forecast, so check live wind and waves before you go.
The bay at Plathiena opens to the north-west, so it usually has natural cover from southerly, south-easterly and south-westerly winds.
Plathiena has sand underfoot with shallow, gently shelving water — handy for families with young children.
For amenities, Plathiena has an organised beach, a beach bar, sunbeds, natural shade and parking nearby. It has a Seatrac assisted-access unit for accessibility — confirm it is in service before travelling.
