Plakaki Cape

Here you will want to dive into the sea several times and if you stay late you will enjoy a beautiful sunset.

Plakaki Cape


Start from the village statue in the mountain village of Agalas and continue on to the Venetian Andronio wells, do not turn right towards the wells but continue straight on through the beautiful olive groves, pine forests and hills with bushy vegetation. Once the asphalt road comes to an end stop, park here and follow the dirt path on your right by foot. The descent requires very special attention as it begins with very steep stone steps and then it is simply soil and stones.  In some places it is slippery but you will see that there are bars for you to hold on to. While descending, to you right you will see two huge rocks rising up from the sea and then to your left a small island with sparse vegetation. All of this has a backdrop of towering cliffs and endless sea, typical to the mountainous areas of Zakynthos.

On arriving at the Plakaki Cape do not be fooled, it is not just a huge flat white rock that you see before you, if you continue to your left there is a large rocky area that of which you should explore (with the help of some steps that have over the course of time naturally forged their way into the rocks.) Here you will see an iron pole, go towards the pole and then directly below it there are two tables, if you want to descend the rocks here do so very carefully! The sea here is wonderful, it is clear blue while the seabed is ideal for snorkeling, and there are some caves nearby that you should explore. Here you will want to dive into the sea several times and if you stay late you will enjoy a beautiful sunset.
