Platanias, owing to its name to the river called the "Lardanos" in legendary Homer's time, is a lively seaside resort located just 11 km west of Chania.
If the new town bustles with waterfront bars, clubs, restaurants, hotels and incredibly sandy beaches, the hillside old part known as Ano Platanias is still steeped in history and tradition.
Together with the close by Agia Marina, this is one of the most popular areas on the island, offering unforgettable holiday experiences to families with children, couples and groups of friends alike.
A visit to Chania, which hosts an airport, is also recommended. The city has seen many civilisations come and go over thousands of years of settlement, from Minoans to Romans, Byzantine to Ottoman. This rich history has carved out a unique and mysterious town.
Most restaurants, museums, churches and craft shops centre around the gorgeous Venetian harbour, which represents a window into the past Turkish and Venetian architecture that has been largely destroyed by war. Watching the sunset past the old lighthouse is a truly unmissable experience, but the area offers a different picturesque aesthetic at any time of day.
Crete's dramatic, mountainous interior is also well worthy of exploration, remaining unspoilt and unchanged for hundreds of years. Incredible churches and sleepy little villages are hidden around every bend as you wind your way across the sun-baked landscape.
Be sure to sample the fresh fish they pull in from the harbour daily, or even take a boat out and do some fishing or snorkelling yourself!
