Reduce energy, water and waste

Life’s a beach
With its quirky beach bars and water sports for all the family, it’s no surprise Platanias is home to one of the most popular beaches near Chania. Swim in the warm waters and relax on the sands - you might even catch a glimpse of the endangered loggerhead sea turtles nesting on the shores!
Change it up in Chania
The lively city of Chania is just a short drive away and well worth the trip. Visit a café at the Old Port for a true taste of the Mediterranean with lots of locally-grown delicacies, or why not head to one of the many markets for an impressive variety of handmade gifts?
