Villa Portokalia Platanias is located on the western side of Crete, with close links to the main town, Chania. This ancient town with its cobbled streets, and harbour front lined with bars and restaurants is a popular choice for those looking to explore this side of the island. If you look closely, you may even spot one of the regular sea turtles that bob about in the marina. This ancient port was the hub of the trading scene thousands of years ago, and today still retains its historic charm. Alternatively, spend lazy days poolside and relax on one of the reclining sun loungers, whilst topping up your tan. Surrounded by a soft evergreen lawn, this garden terrace oozes relaxation. With two bedrooms and bathrooms, this quaint villa is ideal for up to four guests. An open-plan living room and kitchen creates a warm and welcoming space for both entertaining and chilling.... More

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?
One of the oldest olive trees in the world – and a protected natural monument – is about 15 minutes from Kolymbari. It’s part of a mill and old villa, so there’s more to see than you’d think. The age of the tree hasn’t been determined, but the walls and stones of the mill date back to 1850.
Aqua Creta Limnoupolis Water Park
Crete (Chania Area)
Rides and slides for the whole family? Tick! Aqua Creta Limnoupolis Waterpark has everything you could want in an aquatic day out – a massive central pool, snack bars, lazy rivers, freefall rides, and plenty of water slides. If you’re feeling less adventurous, there are football fields and children’s playgrounds.
Balos Beach
Crete (Chania Area)
Brilliant Balos Beach looks like it was plucked straight from a postcard. We’re talking ice-white sand, turquoise sea and rugged headland combining to form a dreamy trio of sights. It’s set on the Gramvousa Peninsula and best reached by boat or car.
