Plaka Beach (Agios Ioannis)
39° 25.4′ N · 23° 9.4′ E
A beach just north of the Agios Ioannis resort, an easy walk along the coast from the village front.
Practical
The position is the OpenStreetMap Plaka beach way. Around Pelion lists Plaka to the north and Papa Nero to the south as the beaches near Agios Ioannis, and Wikivoyage lists it among the north-east Pelion beaches, which 'can have big waves'. No facilities or anchoring details were verified; treat it as a walk-and-swim from Agios Ioannis.
Best for
A quieter swim a short walk north of Agios Ioannis
