Platis Gialos (or Platys Gialos)
My Rating Overall
2=good beach, could go for
swimming again if we happened to
be in the area, though it would not
be our first choice.
Beach
S=sand (sandy beach)
Sea Floor
S=sand (sandy beach)
Water
4= Sea water was excellent and inviting for swimming.
We would go out of our way to swim there again
(These are just my own unscientific observation of the water
feel and appearance)
My family and I enjoy the water when it is crystal clear, and cool instead
of warm. We don' like visible floating particles of any kind or algae
settled on the beach.
Clothing
Topless sunbathing is not common
Access
Good=paved road all the way to the beach, parking near
the beach
Amenities
R=restaurant (on the beach)
B=bar (on the beach)
O=organized beach
H=hotel on the beach
RV / Camper Accessibility
N= Campers explicitly forbidden, or the site is unsuitable
for RV parking
Snorkeling
P=looks promising but I did not dive
Notes
Platis Gialos is separated by Makris
Gialos by a pile of rocks,
and is frequented by mostly families.
