Plaka Forest
Antimachia · Nature
Why go
Plaka is a pine forest west of Antimachia, at the end of a 2.5 km paved road that turns off to the right. Dozens of peacocks live there free and are used to people; look for the one that is all white. Stray cats share the forest with them.
There are shaded paths and a few benches, and the chapel of Agios Ioannis Prodromos stands at the south end of the forest.
When to go
On a hot day: the tall pines keep it shaded and cool.
