Plaka Town Beach

You don't come to Plaka for the beach, but if you need your tan-and-swim fix, head towards the northern end of the village. There, next to a big car park and steps from cafes and tavernas, is the town's long, narrow and pebbly strand, whose distinctive asset is its priceless view of Spinalonga Island.
