Paralia Platanos

Paralia Platanou (i.e. "Platanos Beach", Παραλία Πλατάνου in Greek), lies on the seashore exactly below Platanos village, yet with time the plain name 'Platanos' (without the geographical term 'Paralia') has been attributed more to the village on the beach rather than to the original village above which is for a long time now commonly referred to as 'Pano' or 'Ano' (for Upper) Platanos.
