Platis Gialos Beach
The record identifies Platis Gialos Beach as a beach in Greece. Consider this location today only when live conditions fit the activity. Before swimming there, confirm wind, waves, currents, water quality, flags and official advice. Current panels can be refreshed without rewriting the stable source record, which keeps each claim in the correct time frame. What do the stable sources establish? Surface information in the mapped record is sand. The linked entity data uses the classification “tourist beach on the island of Cephalonia Greece.” The recorded map position is 38.15171, 20.48437, which helps distinguish this beach from similarly named places. Named alternatives in the dossier include Bouka-Paliostafida at about 1.1 km, Lourdas Beach at about 14.1 km and Vouti at about 18.3 km. Open each live panel before deciding which exposure works today. The practical test starts with conditions, not rankings. The strongest search questions for this beach concern arrival access, current parking restrictions and walking distance. These are same-day checks, not permanent characteristics. Make the conservative choice when evidence is incomplete, and use a current authority notice to settle any conflict. Use the alternatives on the map as an active backup plan. A modest change in exposure, access or travel time can matter more than a broad destination ranking.
