What travellers are saying
- RichUnited Kingdom6 contributionsI visited this beautiful gorge with my teenage son 17 and my brother 50 in Oct 24. We travelled by car and managed to park about 200 metres from the entrance to the gorge stairs. Parking is easy and free, there is a closer car park which has an attendant to help people park properly and a small mobile shop selling drinks.
As you enter the stairs you see the stunning scenery as you make your way down a steep slope. It’s not for little kids as there are no barriers to protect them from falling and definitely lwear trainers. As you descend you come the path that splits left and right. Stick to the right. At the bottom there is a ladder and then a rocky area to get to the water.
We left our bag here as forgot to bring a waterproof one. As you enter the water it gets deeper so you have to swim about 10metres to see the waterfall where it gets shallower again, It’s very cold but you have come all that way so just get on with it!! Ha.
You will then see this amazing waterfall, it’s well worth the effort and made some lovely memories.
I went back to get my phone which I held above my head whilst swimming to take some photos but bring a waterproof case if you need to take your valuables or leave them in the car.Written 6 October 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Quite deep straight away, starts with pebbles and continues into sand.
Impossible to park , very small parking lot.
Drive is a bit scary, winding narrow roads.
Woman who runs Garden Tavern and fancy beach loungers is very unfriendly. She charges €25 for a set of beds and an umbrella. We waited in the tavern for 45 mins and no one even approached us.
Go upstairs to the other tavern, we were welcomed straight away and the food was lovely.Written 18 August 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Ewelina G12 contributionsI really like Plakias, it is my 2nd time im here. Its lovely area BUT you have to be aware of 2 things: often there is extemerly windy and sand hit your body and it hurts and water in the sea is cold because of the river running to the sea so I need few minutes to go to the water.Written 16 August 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Goolia2772Milton Keynes, UK220 contributionsWe loved this beach and visited 3 times while staying in the area. If you get to the beach for 10am it is quiet and you can get parked no problem. Don't arrive after mid-day as by then there are cars everywhere! 2 sunbeds and umbrella was €7 for the day. You can order drinks/food from the guy on the beach and they get brought to your sunbed. Lots of locals seems to go there and it can get very busy.Written 9 July 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Sophia Z2 contributionsAfter I had a bad first experience I decided to make another try during my staying in plakias with sea dream divers. My instructor Anastasia made me feel relaxed and confident so as to enjoy the dive. I really felt connected and wanted to dive again which I did. You guys are amazing people and amazing instructors. I wish I had more time in Crete so as to go for the OWD course.
Till next time, many many thanks.Written 25 August 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

We had amazing hours on the boat, with several beautiful stops, funtime and relaxing. The boat, views and Konstantinos was the best possible during the whole trip!
