Plakes beach is located in South Aegean within Analipsi, which makes it easily accessible and therefore popular among travelers. In the high season this may cause some discomfort, due to the large influx of tourists.

The beach stretches on the coast of the Astypalea island, within the boundaries of the settlement, it is not difficult to get to it. If your stay is located not far from the beach, you can reach it by walking. In this case you will not be tied to finding parking or to the schedule of public transport. If you are traveling by car just use your navigator. In any case, do not forget about the availability of public transport and taxis.

User reviews

"I have had the pleasure of visiting one of the most delightful beaches I have ever experienced. While the descent down the hill to reach the beach may pose a challenge, particularly for families with young children, the effort is undoubtedly rewarded by the breathtaking scenery and serene atmosphere."

Lazaro

"The beach was a delightful and enjoyable experience! Although the path leading to it was a bit challenging to traverse while wearing flip flops, the reward of reaching the pristine shoreline made it all worthwhile. The water was crystal clear and refreshingly cold, providing a perfect respite from the heat of the day."

Is the beach good for sunbathing?

Plakes beach (Astypalea island) is not fully equipped for sunbathing. However, if you are not picky and are willing to spread out on a towel, you can sunbathe here as well. The natural shade will allow you to hide from the scorching sun in the peak of its activity. Well, the photos of our visitors will be the best proof of that, all the available photos of the beach are above.This beach is poorly suitable for sunbathing. First of all Plakes beach (Astypalea island) is completely lacking in comfortable sunbathe facilities. There are no sun loungers and umbrellas, this is usually not a problem for an unsophisticated tourist who can relax on a towel, but in this case the rest can be very uncomfortable due to pebbles.Lying on it is possible, but is far from comfortable. In addition there is a lack of natural shade, which leaves you alone with the summer sun. So our recommendation is that you can sunbathe comfortably on the Plakes beach for a short time, and not at the peak of sunbathing. If you want to explore the photos of this beach - they are above on the page.
