We enjoyed our time at the Caldera Villas. The location is good as it's close to the main street through Platanias and the beach, but it's set off from them enough so that you can get away from the crowds. The indoor and outdoor pool was a lot of fun for the whole family. And both the company that rents the place and the onsite manager were very nice and responsive. And, overall, it was a comfortable place to stay.

Platanias is very touristy. But if you have a car, this property is well located to access all of the top destinations in the Western side of Crete.
