Plaka is an isolated beach on the western coast of Samos, where access requires patience. Not only is it located at 63 km. from the island capital, but the last 5 km. of the road are a quite rough earth road. However, the wild beauty of Plaka with its huge rocks and its big waves compensates visitors, who of course need to make provisions for water, snacks and umbrellas. Plaka is one of those beaches worth discovering.
