Μετάφραση Greek Version

At a short distance from the island of  Pserimos is Plati, a small island with only two inhabitants (a couple). Plati has some small but very beautiful beaches with crystal clear, tyrqoise waters. You can only visit Plati by boat or take one of the boats that make daily excursions from the nearby islands of Kalymnos and Pserimos. The waters of Plati are considered to be among the most clear in the Dodecanese. On its south side there is the small chapel of Agios Nikolaos.

At the northern end of the Islet of Plati, but also in the south, two wrecks of German ships of the II World War, which were carrying munitions on May 14, 1944. So it is a good opportunity for those who love diving to do a little underwater exploration. On the eastern coast of Pserimos, there is the wreck of another sunken ship. Thor Star was a ship probably coming from Syria. It was anchored on the eastern coast of Pserimos, but due to bad weather, it hit the rocks and sank. The wreck, located about 20 meters deep, is a very popular diving spot.
