The seaside village of Platanias is located 13 km west of Chania city.

The area has faced a great development in tourism during the last decades and the small village has now turned into a lively suburb of Chania. The proximity to Chania, the beautiful beach and the regular bus services from Chania have made Platanias the most popular beach near Chania city. The old village is built on a hillside with fantastic view of the sea and the islet of Thodorou.

The beach of Platanias is a lovely long sandy beach, along which you will find everything that is provided on well organised beaches, such as beach bars, umbrellas, showers, snack bars, lifeguards, water sports etc. On the east side of the local harbour, close to Agia Marina, you can enjoy swimming in the several small artificial coves. During summer nights, the night clubs in the area host thousands of people, both Greeks and foreigners, who dance till dawn.

There is nothing that you cannot find in Platanias, as it has all kinds of shops, supermarkets, bakeries, many restaurants, souvenirs and services, all within walking distance from the Villa. Furthermore, it is a great base for making excursions around Crete as the main national road is only minutes away. Staying in our villa will give you not only the advantage of relaxing in a quiet private area but also be close to everything!
