Holiday rentals with beach access in Platanias

Great atmosphere and great service.

We recently stayed at this Airbnb for an autumn vacation and, overall, it was a pleasant experience. The house is clean, well-maintained, and the location is convenient for exploring the area. The amenities provided were more than adequate, and everything functioned as expected. One thing to note is that the hosts live on-site, which isn’t necessarily a problem, but their presence was definitely felt compared to other Airbnbs we stayed in so far. Nevertheless, it’s a great choice if you’re looking for a well-kept, dog friendly space with hosts who are nearby to assist.

Just left Chania yesterday 19/09/24 , we stayed one week on Aggeliki’s apartment, We are very lucky to choose this place as it was the best area in Chania , the apartment was very clean with everything you need, close to best sandy beach there , close to old town & harbour, super markets, restaurants ….Very good beds. Everything spotless, Aggeliki the best host , very kind & helpful. We had a great time, nice weather, hope to go there again.

Perfect location, very easy walk to everything. If you rent a car, there are plenty of parking spots very close to the apartment. Stelios was very nice. Would stay here again!!

The complex is structured around a pool that is not large but still ideal for the number of guests. The outdoor area is well equipped with the availability of sun loungers and umbrellas. There is a small gym but not too equipped. Very well cared for and clean, the interiors of the accommodations are essential but equipped with all comforts. Our apartment for 4 was perhaps a little small, the two beds in the living room are not completely comfortable and ideal only for children; keeping them open they lost indoor space in the living room even if there was still a table on the terrace to eat. Daily cleaning service and change of sheets every three days.. impeccable! The nearby beach has a tavern and a bar with sun loungers, we have always preferred to go around the west area of Crete and not stop there.. it is the ideal location to visit by car Elafonissi, Balos, Falassarna and all the west beaches. 5 minutes by car from Kissamos and 20 from Chania.

Anja was a wonderful host! In fact she even offered a ride from the airport upon arrival and also let me keep my bag in a safe place after checkout so I could walk around town before having to board a boat out of town. The space was quiet and the perfect spot in Chanai old town. Easy walking to all of it including steps away from the evening sunsets along the water! Id highly recommend this place and will hope to rebook again when I come back to Crete.

Located in a beautiful location - relaxing thanks to the sound of the waves and the beautiful sea view - the accommodation has everything you need to have a great time! Everything is nearby: restaurants, supermarkets, cafes... and the beach! Finally, Kostas is a lovely host, discreet while being very attentive to residents and ready to help so that everything goes smoothly! If I go back to the area, I won't hesitate to come back.

Absolutely fabulous penthouse apartment with a magnificent terrace and wonderful views. Super beach literally just across the street and close to a range of local restaurants…… can’t recommend enough!!😀

Sometimes it’s such a cliché to say “the photos did not do it justice “ but this is one of those rare occasions when it really does apply.. The Villa Tile is the perfect place for a couple or small family and has everything within a few metres.. the beach literally is on you back door step, next door is a beach bar with a pool which you are welcome to use. The hosts went above and beyond to make everything perfect for us during our stay, even undertaking some emergency sewing and pillow adjustments when we said that the pillows were a little too firm for our liking… We are already planning to come back in May 2025 and hope to use the Villa Tile again.

What an amazing place! Ioannis has thought about everything you could ever need and it is there!! Every thing was immaculate, beautiful white linen, beach towels, the best kitchen ever. Ioannis very thoughtfully had provided large bottles of water and fresh fruit in the fridge which I thought was wonderful. We had a problem on arrival which was sorted so quickly, thank you Ioannis! We have been to many Airb&bs and this was the best. So near the sea and fantastic restaurants, i miss the wonderful food! Thank you so much for our wonderful stay

This Airbnb host was amazing! She welcomed us with a fresh Greek salad and fruits from the garden, the property is very private and in a little nook on a side street, so it is quiet and away from traffic. Hot tub was amazing. Overall for the price, as long as you can get a rental car to take you to Chania, this is an amazing stay.

It feels like home as soon as we arrived at Grigoris's place. We were welcomed by Christina (Grigoris mom, hope we got the name right). Christina was super friendly and helpful through our stay. She brought to us some home cooked Greek pastries and biscuits next day and we loved them. The house looks and feels better than the photos. Beautiful sea view in a quiet area. We felt so relaxpastIt has everything you need to enjoy your stay there. Great place for a family. Highly recommend and we will definitely come back. Lots of lovely memory. Thank you Christina and Grigoris.

Manolis' house is superb, everything matches the photos perfectly. It's a peaceful place where you want to stay for a long time. Manolis is also a very responsive and very well organized host. I highly recommend it!!

We had an unforgettable stay in the seastar house! It is a real little paradise with its private access to the sea ( you fall asleep to the sound of the waves), its dream sunset and its ideal location. The absolutely adorable host picked us up on the road to guide us, gave us good advice to visit the place and answered any questions we had. Delicious homemade cakes and delicious candied figs were waiting for us upon arrival. The house is small but very well arranged; the kitchen is well equipped, beach slippers and towels are available, there are several spots around the house to eat, rest, barbecue or lounge on a hammock. Parking is available which is very convenient. You can walk to a nearby taverna. But once there you are in paradise between the sea and the flowers; you no longer want to leave at all. Exceptional home and host

The place Was magic we have a private access to the sea and the view was astonishing. The place had all you need and Eleni was Very kind

Really lovely stay at Evangelia’s place— perfectly located to walk around the Old Town, and lots of parking near by to rent a car and travel to the nearby beaches. The place was immaculately clean, bed comfortable, and our host was very responsive and flexible. Her Recommendations page was super helpful during our stay. Would stay again!

Konstantinos is a very responsive, friendly and diligent host. He provides detailed instructions on everything so that there are no hidden surprises. He is happy to provide local advice and did so for us, which proved invaluable. He and his wife Stelina, who welcomed us and let us into their property, are lovely people. They live below the flat and could not have been more friendly and approachable. I would not hesitate in recommending this property to you.

Sia is very attentive, accessible and friendly. We were pampered with snacks, raki and a breakfast basket. The view over the bay is stunning. By foot you are quickly at the beach. Grocery stores nearby. Please climb before you get there, but do it with pleasure for the beautiful view.

My boyfriend and I visited during Christmas time(2024). She had filled the apartment with Christmas lights and decorations, which after a long day of traveling, immediately put us in the holiday spirit. She was very easy to communicate with and after learning of my boyfriends love of pizza she provided us with a personalized list of the best pizzas around town. There was also a booklet in the apartment with a rundown of the city(history, restaurants, sightseeing, etc) which is helpful to anyone visiting from another country. Would definitely come back to Chania as well as this apartment! Thank you Katerina!

Chrisi is an excellent hostess! She was always helpful and always in a good mood and friendly. The apartment is perfect for excursions, but also perfect for the beach around the corner. In addition, there is everything you need to live and there is even a small bottle of Raki in the fridge to welcome you. We will come back here again!! Brigitte and Peter

Amazing host, a small apartment in the perfect quiet location just next to a small beach. Love it a lot as it was not touristic. And there is free parking next to it which is even better. Highly recommended!!!! Definitely will come back to Crete <3

I had a wonderful 12 day stay at the apartment. The location is great - just a few meters from the beach and still 15 minutes to the old town. Checking in with a key box and description was super easy. The host was always extremely responsive. And I mean really fast- I never waited more than a few minutes for a response. He helped me with all the questions and concerns and even lent me an umbrella and got me a yoga mat for my time. Really very helpful and always on site! The apartment is cozy. The bed is very comfortable (I always think that's important!). The sofa is a bit saggy - but it didn't bother me. The kitchen is quite well equipped. There is a real stove, toaster, kettle and microwave (which I didn't use). The balcony is large and you have sun in the morning until early afternoon. There is also a washing machine on the 2nd balcony!

Chrysa's apartment was absolutely perfect! It is spotlessly clean, very large, centrally located and very close to the old town / city centre, while still being quiet and having a car spot (not possibly in the old town itself). Two balconies on either side of the apartment with beautiful views. It has a full kitchen, airconditioning etc and Chrysa kindly set up a baby high chair and baby cot for us - the apartment even had some baby toys for us. Chrysa went absolutely over and beyond - providing us excellent local tips for dining out and activities in Hania, and then even tips for what to do in the rest of Crete afterwards. We loved all the restaurants she recommended. The very best Greek hospitality. I recommend her place highly and would absolutely love to be able to stay here again in future. Thank you so much Chrysa for everything!

This was a great spot for me and my travel companion for nearly a week. The roof top patio was a delightful was to start and end our days. I especially loved the location just 2 minute walk to the beach and loads of great restaurants. This apartment is far enough off the main road to be quiet but still close to the action. The bathroom is on the small size as typical but the bedrooms were generous with nice storage to put out things away and feel at home during our stay. The beds were a bit hard for my preferences, but linens and pillows helped. Be sure and check out the Blue Pearl restaurant at the end of the street on the beach side. Sweet staff open for breakfast and lunch during season. This side of the harbor is known as the quiet side but was an easy walk to Old Town, which we did every day. We appreciated the elevator and amenities with this stay. FYI, the washing machine is on the exterior patio. Took us a minute to locate. Host was very responsive when we needed anything.
