I arrived around 10.30 which is when the charity comes to feed the cats. Lovely man, very happy to tell you all about them and how they are looked after. After reading previous reviews I took some cat food which he was very grateful for. The cats really like the wet food and treats! Beware of the old man trying to Scam you out of money. Only donate to the charity that looks after the animals. They are there feeding them every morning and wear charity T-shirts so you know it’s them.

This was the 2nd time that we visited Plaka Forest. I took a box of Cat Biscuits, as last time we visited there were lots of cats. Sadly, this time there was only one cat. I gave the biscuits to a Greek Gentleman who was sat making reed baskets and was feeding the Peacocks and Peahens. He smiled and he began feeding the Cat, the birds also liked the biscuits. He showed me the baskets he was weaving, he said it was for milk, they use them to make cheese, he offered me one, so I thanked him and gave him some Euros, he was pleased. I had a walk around the forest looking at the beautiful birds, what an amazing site, they come up to you and eat put of your hand. Well worth a visit for a lovely walk.

Great place to see Peacocks in the wild. In May they have babies trotting around as well. There is space to park your car but no designated car park so could get crowded in high season There are no facilities there (no toilets, no cafe and no seating) so take water/drinks with you. There is a large supermarket nearby which you will pass if you are coming from Kos side of the island. You can feed the peacocks but will need to take your own fruit. Grapes and small berries are best but grapes are definitely a favourite. Nice forest walks as well once you pass the Peacocks and go over the small bridge.

Hired a car and visited Plaka Forest and Antimacheia Castle the same day. Peacocks are friendly and can feed from your hand if you don’t mind being pecked. We visited in May and saw lots of peachicks. We took apple to feed the peacocks and cat biscuits for the one cat we saw. Just make sure you chop up the fruit into tiny pieces as they’ll try to gobble it whole rather than peck at it. Peacocks were more interested in the cat biscuits than the cat was. They will come running if they think you have food. Sadly people were feeding them crisps and slices of cheese. Saw a peacock flying overhead into the trees and several males displaying their feathers. Parking might be tight in peak season. Glad we visited

Amazing pine forest with peacocks, each of which is outfitted with a tiny blue Spartan helmet, in addition to their natural plumage, for added special effect. There are also ducks, and babies, and baby ducks. When you feed the ducks bread, unlike people, they show their appreciation by wagging their tail feathers for the approximate duration it takes to swallow a piece of bread. If you go, bring berries.

A forest in the mountains with walks. They have peacocks running wild. A man sells bread to feed them. They are tame, and it's lots of fun feeding them. There are a few cats around which like attention too. You only need about two hours to look around so a short stop. It would have been helpful to have some sort of map erected that showed circular walks in the area. Well worth a visit.
