The island of Plati is a small Greek island and there are no towns or villages on it.Its charm lies instead in its unspoilt landscape. The coastline is mainly made up of sandy and pebbly beaches, where visitors can enjoy the tranquillity and clear sea. The island is also a popular stop for boat trips from the surrounding islands, where tourists can enjoy swimming or diving in the clear waters.

Plati is most often reached by boat from the ports of Kos or Kalymnos. During the main tourist season, smaller cruise ships regularly dock here and offer day excursions. There is no tourist infrastructure on the island, but this adds to its authenticity and attracts lovers of quiet places.

A popular excursion among tourists is the boat trip from Kos, which includes a visit to the three smaller islands of Kalymnos, Plati and Pserimos. Departing from the port of the capital of Kos, the boat usually docks off the eastern coast of the islet of Plati, where a concrete pier has been built to allow visitors to cross comfortably from the boat to the mainland. Here they can take a swim and also walk up the hill to the small church of Agios Nikolaos, where the view is beautiful.
