The beach is called Platanakia Beach because the valley leading there is densely covered with plane trees. You can convert the hike into a circular tour via Sfinari (beach and village) by crossing the approximately 150-meter-high rocky ridge from the plane trees on a semi-marked, steep path (red, yellow, and cairns), but it's not entirely easy (komoot.com/de-de/tour/991276886). From Sfinari, the road back to Kambos is certainly attractive; at least in winter, there's very little traffic and great views.
