Plaka beach on Tilos

Plaka beach lies just after Agios Antonios on the way to the Monastery of Agios Panteleimon. The water is as lovely as on other beaches on Tilos, but the stones are a bit angular and difficult to walk on so a pair of bathing shoes is not wrong.

At the far end of Plaka beach there is a large wind turbine. It is part of a large investment to make Tilos independent of electricity. Tilos will try to become self-sufficient in terms of electricity production.

Little shade. No taverna so you may bring your own food and drinks, or drive to Agios Antonios to eat. The far end of the beach is popular with nudists.

Above Plaka beach is an enclosure which is home to a muster of peacocks. Sometimes they sneak out and sneak around on the beach. They are very cute. The first time I was here, I wondered what on earth the weird noises that were heard could be. It was the peacocks. :-)

The picture above is taken from the road to the monastery of Agios Panteleimon. The big island is called Gaidouronisi and the small island on the left is called Vrachonisida Giakoumi. On the latter island, one of the Mediterranean's most unusual birds, Audouin's gull (Ichthyaetus audouinii), breeds.

Plaka is about 11 kilometers from Livadia, 4 kilometers from Agios Antonios and 3 kilometers from the monastery of Agios Panteleimon.
