Platanias Holidays

Platanias is situated and is one of the busiest holiday destinations in western Crete, promising golden sunshine and overflowing with natural beauty such as orange groves and exotic bamboo along the riverbanks. This famous holiday destination was once a dominantly agricultural village that has transformed into a cosmopolitan resort that holds beach parties day and night.

The Blue Flag section of the beach not only offers white sand and a sky blue sea, but is very well looked after, as well as having many bars, sunbeds and umbrellas. Also along the beach is an array of small clubs, along with various restaurants serving traditional Cretan cuisine.

The famous holiday destination also has religious significance as it lies beside the river Lardanos, which, according to the poet Homer, is sacred water.

Platanias is a perfect holiday destination for those that enjoy the beach and a typical Grecian surrounding without an overcrowded atmosphere. Activities include boat trips to local seasides, scuba diving and many water sports. If you fancy venturing out, Chania is 10km away and is famous for hand-crafted leather goods.
