Beach overall scores
Plakero beach (Epirus) region (Thesprotia sub-region) is located outside the Sarakiniko settlement, which may cause some difficulties for travelers who stay far from the coast. However, the remoteness from the village is not always a bad thing. Lovers of quiet rest know, the farther the beach, the fewer crowds.
The beach stretches on the sunny coast and the correct question is not how to get to Plakero beach, but what mode of transport can be used to get to it, because this part of the coast is inaccessible by land. The beach can only be reached by water and you have to rent a boat to get there.
User reviews
"This stunning beach boasts crystal clear waters that are absolutely breathtaking. The journey to reach this hidden gem is only possible by foot, so be sure to wear sturdy shoes as you'll need to navigate a bit of a climb. However, the effort is well worth it once you arrive and take in the stunning surroundings."
Emiliano
"The beach itself deserves a perfect 5-star rating, however, the access only deserves a disappointing 1-star rating. Additionally, it's worth noting that this beach offers free public entry."
