Souda Beach (Plakias)
Παραλία Σούδα
A pebbly beach about 3 km west of Plakias, backed by palm trees and a stream valley, with clear water and fewer visitors.
Souda Beach lies on the western side of Plakias and can be reached by following the coast road to its end. It takes 5 minutes by car or about 40 minutes on foot. The beach is a mix of fine pebbles and coarse sand. The water deepens quickly and is clear, and there are a few palm trees and a seaside taverna where you can rent umbrellas. It is quieter than the main beach in Plakias and good for swimming and snorkelling. On windy days on the south coast, the waves can be quite strong.
