Plakaki Beach, a stunning and secluded natural wonder on Zakynthos, Greece, offers breathtaking views of white cliffs and crystal-clear turquoise waters. Accessibility is challenging; visitors can reach it via a steep, unpaved footpath requiring sturdy footwear (not suitable for those with mobility issues), or more comfortably by joining a boat tour from nearby Keri Lake, which often includes stops at the Keri Caves. Solo visits are possible for experienced hikers, but guided boat tours are recommended for safety and ease. The best time to visit is during late spring or early autumn to avoid extreme heat and crowds, though it's accessible in summer. There is no entry fee for walkers, but boat tours typically cost €20-€50+ per person. A visit by foot might last 1-3 hours, while boat tours usually offer a 15-30 minute swimming stop as part of a longer excursion. Crucially, the beach lacks any facilities, so visitors must bring their own water, snacks, and sun protection, and be prepared for a rocky shore (water shoes are advisable).
