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.

Really nice hosting always responsive. very nice treatment.

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!!

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.

We had an amazing stay! The home was spotless, and had everything we needed for a comfortable visit. The location was perfect, quiet and walking distance to the beach. The host was incredibly welcoming and super responsive! The little touches were so sweet. They had an amazing garden and gave us fresh veggies to eat and even made us local Cretan salad and pie! We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a great Airbnb experience. Thank you for your hospitality!

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!!

Lovely stay, in a lovely house with a wonderfully attentive and kind host. Really good position for touring Western Crete, a car is obviously a must but the drives to places are really spectacular ( most drives are just over the hour to the south and west coasts). We did stay in November which sees very quiet roads and deserted beaches - like most of the Greek Islands the shoulder months are the time to see them at their very best. We would love to come back in Spring.

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

Super lovely apartment with a beautiful view from the bedroom and from the rooftop. Very central location and easy to discover everything by foot. Host is very responsive and I had no issues whatsoever. Great internet as well for those who need to do some work from the apartment. Would definitely stay there again.

The villa is lovely and has everything you need for a holiday. Clean and well maintained. There was extra cleaning during the week. Great view of the sea and the mountains. The cars passing on the main road, which is 100m below the villa, create a slight noise, but it is not unbearable. Maria is a great host and despite the late evening time of arrival she was waiting for us with a smile. She took care of us all the time and gave us valuable advice. There was a problem with the dishwasher, which was fixed the next day as soon as I informed Maria. We had a great week and would come back again.

A very well-appointed & tasteful apartment. You feel right at home and we could have stayed longer. In particular, the kitchen was equipped with everything you could ask for. Konstantinos and his wife were very friendly and helpful. We would definitely book this apartment again.

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

We stayed for a week at George & Alkis’ unit. My wife and I had a great time exploring Chania and Alkis was very helpful and responsive when we had questions. Will definitely stay again if we are back in Crete! Thank you.

Loved this place and highly recommend it to everyone

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.

PERFECT Very well located accommodation with unobstructed views of the port. Everything is within walking distance, we will probably come back next year. Thank you for everything
