Plani Beach
Wild beach of large pebbles and flat rock on the northwest tip, at the end of a dirt road from Lakka. A sunset spot more than a swimming beach.

About Plani
- Is Plani a sandy beach?
- No, Plani is a pebble beach, so water shoes are handy. Facilities: unspoiled nature.
- Is it easy to park at Plani?
- Roadside parking. Spaces fill up around midday in July and August. It's a 5 minute walk from the road, and the last stretch is a dirt track.
- When is Plani least crowded?
- It's rarely crowded, even in August. Outside June–September it's quiet all day.
- Which wind is best for swimming at Plani?
- The beach faces west, so it's calmest when the wind blows from the east and gets waves when it blows from the west. The summer maistros, a northwesterly that picks up in the afternoon, often makes it choppy, so mornings are best.
