Plaka Beach
A vast 4 km sweep of soft white sand and dunes, much of it free and unorganised, which makes it the island's best beach for a leashed dog to walk and cool off in the shallow water. The wide southern end stays uncrowded and is the most comfortable for pets.
Normas: Leash mandatory on the sand under Greek law. Dogs may swim on the free sections. Stay clear of organised sunbed areas unless the operator allows pets.
