About Plaka
Plaka is a pebble beach on Skopelos, facing north. Land shelters it from winds from the south-east, the south, the south-west, and the west, so those winds leave the water flat here. Winds from the north arrive over open sea and raise waves when they are strong. A road leads to the beach. Within 300 m there are 4 tavernas and restaurants and 7 bars and cafés. The sea is warmest in August, at about 26 °C. It is above 22 °C from June to September.
Written from map data (OpenStreetMap contributors), our own measurement of the open sea around the beach and NOAA sea temperatures (1991-2020 averages).

Visitor levels are nights spent in tourist accommodation in the Thessaly region (Eurostat, average of 2023–2025), compared with its busiest month. They show when the area is busy, not how many people are on a given beach.
