Plaka Forest

Δάσος Πλάκας

A pine-forest picnic spot near the airport, home to a large flock of peacocks. An easy outing for children.

Plaka Forest lies between Antimachia and the airport. Its pine woods have picnic tables and water sources, and peacocks, chickens and cats roam freely, often begging food from visitors. You can stop for half an hour to an hour on the way to the southwest beaches. Entry is free. Plaka Beach is nearby. In summer, fire rules apply and open fires are not allowed.
