About

Paralia Plaka is located on the Aegean Sea (part of Mediterranean Sea) and it is in the 689th place out of 1022 beaches in the South Aegean region 36.1 km away from its center, the city of Ermoupoli.

This beach is suitable for different categories of people, lonely travellers, relaxation getaway lovers etc. It is not crowded place during the season.

The beach stretches on the coast of the Andros island and the easiest way to get to the beach is by car or bike. If you don't have this option, then the second best solution is to use the taxi, which can drive you directly to the beach. The only problem, if your stay is far away it can be quite expensive.

Take into account that the bus stop is usually in some distance., but accessing the beach requires traversing some distance on foot.

The road to the beach is quite winding and narrow, but it's worth it when you get there - it's a dream!

This beach in Andros is one of the best around. The dirt road leading to it is passable, and some parts have been paved with cement, so you can drive there with a bit of caution. Even with strong winds, the sea is crystal clear and peaceful, with only the sound of waves and cicadas.

This beach is quite pleasant, though it is not well-maintained and there are no nearby shops or eateries. Access is via a dirt road.
