Nestled along the scenic route connecting Kioni and Frikes villages, Plakoutses Beach offers a delightful escape for those seeking a relaxing day under the Ionian sun. This charming stretch of coastline boasts a relaxed atmosphere, making it a popular choice for families and nature lovers.
The beach itself is adorned with smooth, white pebbles, perfect for strolling along the shoreline or building sandcastles with the little ones. Unlike some of Ithaki’s larger, more developed beaches, Plakoutses prides itself on a natural ambiance. Olive trees and shrubs, known locally as “pernars,” grow right up to the beach, providing a welcome respite from the midday sun. You can easily set up your own shaded haven under the cool canopy of these trees.
The crystal-clear waters of the Ionian Sea invite you for a refreshing dip. The gentle waves provide a playful backdrop for swimming, snorkeling, or simply relaxing on the shore and soaking up the scenery.
Plakoutses Beach doesn’t offer extensive amenities, but its charm lies in its simplicity. Pack a picnic lunch and enjoy it under the shade of the trees, or bring your own refreshments for a hassle-free beach day.
For those seeking a touch of adventure, the surrounding area offers opportunities for exploration. Take a short hike along the coastal path and discover hidden coves or picturesque viewpoints. Plakoutses Beach is a perfect choice for a relaxing and scenic day trip, offering a taste of Ithaki’s natural beauty and laid-back atmosphere.
