Basically a busy street lined with the usual tourist stuff - shops, bars and restaurants. You like it or you loathe it. About one hour from Chania airport. Large majority of visitors are on Scandinavian package holidays with English as the shared language. Food was ok but we found better in villages out in the hills. Some public transport and excursion options. Good beaches with access down lanes off the main street. A few mini golf courses and one or two other offers for children. With a car, good access to the mountains and the south coast.
Υπάρχουν πολλά ξενοχοδεία, εστιατόρια, μπαράκια, fast foods στη συγκεκριμένη περιοχή οπόταν δεν χρειάζεται καθημερινά κάποιος να πηγαίνει στο κέντρο των Χανιών. Είναι σχετικά κοντά από το κέντρο των Χανιών αλλά δεν μπορείς να πας με τα πόδια. Υπάρχουν συνεχώς στάσεις σε όλα τα σημεία στον Πλατανιά.
Within a 1-2h radius (we had a little car) are numerous beaches, historical sites, restaurants, hiking activities. The tourist strip in Platanias during July is a (happy) zoo, but outside of that getting around is easy.
Platanias was a cute beach town with just about the right amount of stores and shops. We ate in....in our apartment so I cant comment on restaurants. The people were friendly and the town caters to tourism. If you're flying into Crete and renting a car, the drive from the capitol is long but worth the ocean view.
This area is very kid friendly! It's very convenient for going into Chania for dinner, and exploring the rest of Western Crete during the days! However, if we could go again we would try to book a little closer to Iguana beach. We ate at Mylos twice, and it was fabulous.
“Effi is a great host. She welcomed us with a great smile and lots of good recommeditons. We got the sea view apartment whith a large balcony. It was so pleasent. Location is great if you are visiting at the west of Crete. You can reach Chania, Balos easily. We had a great time and highly recommend”
“Really lovely family run hotel with lovely little pool and relaxed atmosphere. Away from the noise but close to everything. Perfect for a few days tripping out around the west of crete. Lovely homemade omelette. We had basement room 102 which was spacious enough and quiet.”
“Our studio was surrounded by flowers, fruit trees, and a vegetable garden. We had fruit and veggies from the garden, homemade wine, olive oil. The location is west of the Platanias tourist strip/zoo, so it is very quiet.”
“Owner was very courteous and welcoming. House was very classy and roomy for four people. Kitchen and living room was very inviting and open, a few more fans would have been perfect, but we had a very pleasant stay. If you'd like to get off the main strip of Platanias with a short taxi to town and have a beautiful retreat for a few days, this was the nicest place I found in the area.”
“An oasis in the centre area of Platanias near to beach and amenities yet quiet with lovely gardens overlook by veranda. It is a boutique studio. Lovely detail.”
