Leave town for a broad sandy bay with resort services and enough space to choose your own pace
Plati gives Myrina-based travellers a larger beach day without a cross-island drive. The bay has a broad sandy shore and generally gradual entry, backed by seasonal hotels and beach services. Different sections have different moods, so walkers can compare a busy organised area with a quieter stretch before choosing a place.
The beach is about a short drive from town, but the return uphill and limited shade make walking less attractive in heat. Water sports should use qualified operators and designated launch areas. Northerly weather may leave this west-facing bay calmer than eastern beaches, but local conditions still decide. Confirm late-season transport and restaurant hours before relying on them.
