We stayed 2 weeks in this beautiful house. There is a lot of space inside, and you can sit outside at the front of the house in the nice garden (with roses!), and on the 2 balconies. The 3 bedrooms all have airco. Giasemi and her husband live next door, and they are fantastic house owners. They keep the house clean, provide clean towels, and we were spoiled with delicious homemade snacks. Platanias was too touristy for us. At 1 minute walking distance you come in a very busy street, full of restaurants and souvenir shops. In this street also the buses leave, for example to Chania city (30 minutes). You do not need a car, we have rented a car twice (can be reached in various places within walking distance). The beach is also 1 minute away. Great beach, with plenty of choice of sun beds and umbrella (about 6 euros per day for 2 beds and an umbrella). We really had a top holiday and can wholeheartedly recommend the house.
