From its origins as a nudist beach in the 1960’s, Plaka Beach has grown to be one of the most famous beaches in Greece. The longest uninterrupted stretch of sand on the island, the beach has something for everyone. Less crowded than the beaches near town, Plaka has some beds and umbrellas outside the beach bar but for the most part it is unorganised. The sea is shallow and clear, while at the southern end Orkos is a series of small coves loved by naturists for seclusion.
