Serviced Apartments in Plataniás

On the north-west coast of the Greek island of Crete you will find Plataniás; a small town and municipality of about 5000 people, pretty much all of whom work in the thriving tourism industry. Located in a large, wide, natural bay called Kolpos Chanion, Plataniás holiday rentals are about 20 minutes down the coast from the largest nearby town of Chania.

Plataniás has been known as a holiday destination for several years now, and is known for its relaxed atmosphere and selection of restaurants, beaches, cafes and small shops. There is a good selection of serviced accommodation in Plataniás, a large number of which come with a lovely sea view. Also included in that view are the islands of Agioi Theodoroi; two uninhabited islets to the north of the town itself. It is possible to take a fantastic boat trip out to the islands for a closer look, and also to look back at Plataniás itself.

Of course, many people book a holiday apartment in Plataniás to make use of the gorgeous beach and Mediterranean Sea. The beaches are covered in white sand and have been awarded the Blue Flag hallmark of high quality and tidiness for seven years running. The sea is as clear and blue as you could ever hope and there is a selection of watersports available, as well as excellent swimming with protection provided by lifeguards.

Behind the village of Plataniás are areas of orange groves, sycamores and even bamboo, giving a lush green and tropical view from the sea.
