About

Plaka beach is located on the Ionian Sea (part of Mediterranean Sea) and it is in the 464th place out of 504 beaches in the Ioanian Islands region 15.6 km away from its center, the city of Corfu. It is one of the beaches of Giannades settlement, just 2 km from its center. The beach is located in a natural place with very picturesque views, surrounded by the cliffs.

It is a straight coastline with crystal turquoise water and gray pebble, so it is recommended to wear special shoes. The sharpness of entering the water is quite normal. This beach is suitable for different categories of people, lonely travellers, relaxation getaway lovers, hikers etc. It is almost deserted place even during the high season.

Plaka beach coast is free for all. It has no amenities, only nature. .

In addition to swimming and sunbathing, you can also take part in other activities.

15 more beaches are also available within a 5 km radius. The best one is Chomi beach, which has a rating of 9.6.

Plaka beach (Ioanian Islands) is located outside the Giannades 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 coast of the Corfu island and the correct question is not how to get to Plaka 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.

The beach is a bit overrated, as the one that requires a short hike is far superior.
