Holiday rentals with beach access in Platanias

We had an awesome week in Crete! The space was clean, with everything you need, and exactly as described and surrounded by olive trees, but what really made it special was the hospitality. They are absolutely excellent hosts, warm, responsive, and went out the extra mile to make us feel welcome! Truly rare form of hospitality that make us proud to be Greek. We will definitely come back. Εις το επανιδείν!

Been before. Love this place. Swim on the door step. Family run great welcome. It is beautiful and Georgio mum helped me with my tango dancing .. I was terrible !

We had a wonderful stay at Sifi’s. He is easy going, responsive and provided great recommendations. The apartment is beautiful, modern and we felt very comfortable with our stay. Sadly our visit was short since there are plenty to see and do that we didn’t get to do but I would book this place again if we come back.

I rate the stay very well. The apartment was impeccably clean and the equipment of the apartment itself was very rich - you don't have to worry about anything! We have a washer, dryer, towels, clean linens, or even all beach gear, toiletries, and all the detergents you need. The location is very good - we have several beautiful beaches, supermarkets and car rentals nearby. 200m from the house there is a large free parking lot, so we have a place to park our rental car. Hosts are very kind and happy to help and advise when needed. There are paper guides, maps of Crete, etc., which will allow you to plan your next travel days. PS. Thank you so much for the homemade treats! They were delicious I 😄 highly recommend the place and the host, best wishes!

We had the best time staying at Tanja’s amazing studio. From the second we arrived, we were struck by the beautiful landscape of flowers and orange trees. The pool and patio were so peaceful and the studio was incredible clean and accommodating. The highlight of the stay was Tanja’s excellent recommendations of beaches, tavernas, and excursions. She was both incredibly friendly and communicative. We’d definitely stay again.

Enjoyed my time to the fullest!! Host was very helpful and communication was spot on. Thanks again.

We had a lovely stay here! The host and family were so friendly and helpful! We had home baked treats waiting when we arrived and fruit and water in the refrigerator. Beautiful deck with great view of the sea and beach just across the street-a 2 minute walk. Many great restaurants nearby and grocery store just down the stairs. We didn’t want to leave!

Very nice home and location very nice, walkable to harbor and old town which was very nice! Lots of restaurants! The house was very clean and comfortable and really pretty view of the sea from living room area. The layout was very nice as bathroom on floor of living are and second floor with bedrooms with full bath very nice, lots of room!! My only complaint was, in my opinion, the portrait over master bed was very provocative and also, in my opinion, offensive being a female. Don’t understand why there must be naked pictures of female. This really offended me and can’t understand why??? Laura Rehm

Our family of 8 thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. It's a classic Greek beach house with a lot of character and modern updates. We had plenty of space for our XL van, we loved the pool and of course the beach, and location was very accessible to restaurants and shops. The AC worked well throughout the house, kitchen was well equipped, and laundry and dishwasher were great too. Host responded to all our questions within minutes and was very flexible with scheduling.

The place was great. Location was perfect for us: close to some true gems food wise, beaches, wineries, etc. We loved it. We stayed 1 week, so we truly got a chance to enjoy it. Was also able to yoga in the morning with a view on the olive trees. All the little attentions made us feel welcomed.

This was the best AirBnb I've ever stayed at, and it really made our trip to Crete. Maria was an A+ host. She was extremely responsive and helpful and pointed us to all of the best beaches and restaurants. The house is in immaculate condition, very clean, and very spacious, and is only 10 minutes from downtown Chania. Thank you for everything, Maria!

We really enjoyed our stay at this vacation home. The location is quiet and offers a great view of the sea – perfect for unwinding. The house is tastefully decorated and equipped with everything you need. The landlords were friendly and helpful and made the stay pleasant. All in all, a nice house for a relaxing beach vacation.

Is was a very nice pleace. We loved it!!

The hosts were incredibly kind and welcoming. The place was super clean and everything well maintained. Just felt right at home with an amazing view, great beds and a beautiful atmosphere. Highly recommend!

Our family had a wonderful stay in this beautiful, luxurious villa. Emmanuel is a fantastic host- generous, welcoming, kind, and always helpful. We feel very lucky to have had the opportunity to stay in this very special villa.

We had a wonderful & relaxing break. The location & outside space were amazing. The host was kind & generous. We will definitely come back. Thank you for all the little gifts.

Our host was very careful for details, kitchen had all necessary stuff, fridge, etc. everything was clean. Host gift us welcoming gifts and that was lovely ❤️. Nice location, beach is close and you can go to supermarket in 10min on bus. And 25 min to Chania, bus stop is near. Living there was a pleasure.

Everything was really great! Thanks a lot Nikos!

This is absolutely our favorite Airbnb that we've ever stayed in (and we've stayed in a lot). The place is adorable. Katerina is very responsive and lives right by the apartment. The view is wonderful, and both the living room and twin bedroom have doors that open onto that view. It has everything you need and more, with Katerina providing treats and even cereal and milk for that first morning. The air conditioning worked well, but there is also a lovely breeze from the sea. There are tons of restaurants and cafes just below the apartment as well as with 5 and 10 minutes walk in Old Town. It would be comfortable for a couple and a third person (such as a child) or two people, each with their own room. The washing machine was great to have, and you can dry clothes on the lines off the balcony. We did not want to leave.

This Airbnb is just like the photos and worth the distance from Old Town (about 0.4 miles). The terrace wraps around the entire flat and has many seating options in sunshine and in shade. It’s surrounded by beautiful, well-cared for plants with a stunning view of the Sea of Crete and of Chania itself. You can take the stairs or there is an elevator. The hostess left some local treats for us as well as a lovely bouquet of flowers! Absolutely top notch! There is also air conditioning if the fresh air is too warm. The hostess was friendly and responsive. This was the best of 4 Airbnb’s we stayed in throughout Europe. The only thing to note is that the electricity is only on when the card is in the holder by the door. So, if you leave with the dryer or dishwasher running or charging devices, they will pause until you return.

Great place, extremely responsive and helpful! 100% would come back

From the start, Sia and her husband were very warm and welcoming. At check-in, they walked us through the apartment, which looked exactly like the photos. The view is fantastic from the front balcony. Everything was very clean. Loved that there were electronic blinds for most windows. We rented a car and there was a parking spot available for us in Sia's garage. We did find the bed a bit too hard for our tastes (to each their own!), and we sometimes had trouble with the wifi dropping in the main bedroom. Overall, we loved Sia's place and would stay there again!

The apartment’s large balcony & location at the quiet end of the Venetian Harbour in Chania old town, was perfect for relaxing and exploring the labyrinthine little alleyways of the old town of Chania. I started and ended the day sitting on the balcony, watching sensational sunsets, the quiet chatter of people in the restaurant below and the mooring and unmooring of boats in the harbour! Christina, my main contact, was outstanding in her responsiveness and assistance in ordering a taxi etc. I would definitely stay here again!

Our stay here was absolutely fantastic! Aggelos is extremely friendly, helpful, and responsive. He provided recommendations for restaurants and things to do. The apartment was spotless when we arrived and had everything we needed for our stay. The place is very close to the downtown area with many shops, restaurants, and bakeries. It was also a quick walk to the bus stop. We could not recommend this place enough!
