among other beaches if we were in the area. If
we were visiting the area we would consider this
beach a good place to swim.

S=sand (sandy beach)
Water
3= Very nice and clean sea. We would go
swimming there again if we were in the area
(These are my, and my family's own unscientific observations of
the water feel and appearance)
We 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.

Notes
Driving through Platy Gialos town main road the beach is one block
on the left. Park anywhere and walk to the beach. As you reach the
end of the town, you will see signs to "Zaharou"
Beach (click for picture). If you visit
Platy Gialos for the fist time you will probably think that the
signs poing to a nice swim spot.
The truth is that Zaharou Beach is nothing but a bar that has cemented
a few rocks by the sea to place some sun beds on it. Unless you
are looking for a drink don't drive down the dirt road thinking
you are visiting a beach.
