Plani Beach

Plani Beach is a breathtaking natural spectacle located on the west coast. Known for its powerful waves and rough, violent salt water, this beach is a haven for those who appreciate the raw beauty of nature. The beach is characterized by huge stones and rocks, offering a unique landscape for visitors to explore. Hidden places can be found by climbing the rocks, including a nudist area, pools, and patches of sand nestled between the stones.

The beach is not recommended for small children due to the sharpness of the stones. Visitors are advised to wear swimming shoes for safety. Despite the challenging terrain, the beach offers a rewarding experience, especially for those who enjoy climbing rocks and witnessing the full potential of the sunset.

Plani Beach is also a great spot for snorkeling. It is not typically crowded, offering a more peaceful beach experience. The beach is accessible by car, although the road can be tiring. Visitors are advised to arrive early as there is no afternoon shade. The sea at Plani Beach is very rocky, and the waves can be quite wild, so caution is advised when entering the water.
