Ready to welcome you, the apartment offers a tranquil retreat where you can unwind and take in the stunning views of the Aegean Sea. The apartment’s balcony provides a breathtaking vantage point to enjoy the sweeping seascape, which you can even admire from the comfort of your bed.
At the edge of the hill, a communal swimming pool awaits, offering an ideal spot to relax while gazing out over the endless horizon.

ABOUT THE NEIGHBORHOOD
The apartment is situated in the peaceful neighborhood of Upper Platanias, the charming old village perched on a hill with a beautiful view of the area. Just a 10-minute walk down the hill, you'll find the lively main street of Platanias, filled with restaurants, beach bars, clubs, and shops. You can also find plenty of adventures, like boat cruises, water sports, and excursions to explore the island.
The main square of Platanias is only 10 minutes from the apartment, while Chania’s city center is just 10 km away, or about a 25-minute drive. Getting to Chania is convenient with several options: buses run every 15 minutes from the main square in summer season, with less frequent service in the winter, taxis cost approximately 20 euros, or you can easily drive.
Platanias is one of the best locations in the region, ideally positioned to explore the stunning beaches and popular sites nearby. From this central spot, many of Crete’s finest attractions are just a short journey away, making it the perfect base for a memorable stay.
