Is the beach good for sunbathing?

Platanias beach (Thessaly) is not fully equipped for sunbathing. However, if you are not picky and are willing to spread out on a towel, you can sunbathe here as well. The natural shade will allow you to hide from the scorching sun in the peak of its activity. Well, the photos of our visitors will be the best proof of that, all the available photos of the beach are above.This beach is poorly suitable for sunbathing. First of all Platanias beach (Thessaly) is completely lacking in comfortable sunbathe facilities. There are no sun loungers and umbrellas, this is usually not a problem for an unsophisticated tourist who can relax on a towel, but in this case the rest can be very uncomfortable due to pebbles.Lying on it is possible, but is far from comfortable. In addition there is a lack of natural shade, which leaves you alone with the summer sun. So our recommendation is that you can sunbathe comfortably on the Platanias beach for a short time, and not at the peak of sunbathing. If you want to explore the photos of this beach - they are above on the page.

A serene and unspoiled seaside retreat awaits you at the beach near Platanias. The powdery sand and tranquil ambience make it an ideal spot to unwind and soak up the sun. It takes approximately two hours to travel from Vólos to this idyllic destination, which is conveniently located less than 200 meters from the village. While there is a beach bar on site, the quality of service and amenities is average, with sun beds priced at 2.50 euros and coffees at 3.00 euros. However, there is ample space to set up your own umbrella and enjoy the beach at your leisure.

The Thetis beach is a haven of relaxation with its comfortable umbrellas and chairs. The bar offers a refreshing selection of juices, drinks, coffee, and sandwiches that will satisfy any craving. The serene atmosphere is further enhanced by the picturesque backdrop of an olive orchard. This beach is the perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.
