Sakis' place is an ideal spot to stay at if you're visiting not only Platanias but whole Western Crete. It's ideally situated so that a lot of the places of interest are a short drive away, and you have a beach 8 minutes by foot if you don't feel like driving too far. It's a lovely spot and Sakis and his wife were very accommodating and beyond helpful. Communication was easy and Sakis was always willing to help and give us any kind of advice on what to go see.
We would recommend this place to any person or couple that's looking to explore Crete and enjoy a nice stay in Platanias.
