Figias Beach Evia Southern Evia

Platanistos is a raw and majestic escape on the southeastern tip of Evia that feels like a hidden oasis. The beach is famous for the small river that flows into the sea, lined with massive plane trees that give the spot its name. The mix of fresh water and salt water creates a very cool, refreshing swimming experience, and the lush greenery provides plenty of natural shade that is rare for the rugged south. The shore is a blend of sand and pebbles, and because it faces the open Aegean, the waves can be quite impressive. It’s a favorite for campers and those looking for a more "off-the-grid" vibe. There is a simple, traditional taverna nearby that serves local meat and vegetables, making it the perfect place to spend a slow, unplugged day surrounded by the sounds of the water and the rustling leaves.
