We drove from Rethymno and stayed here at the Hillside Home for three nights.
The house had a spectacular view over Platanias, and provided us with a very cosy and private space as our base for exploring the areas around Chania and the west coast.
The location was central to Platanias, but is located at the top of a hill which was quite a steep and narrow climb by foot/car.
There were a few parking spots that, but there were a few occasions when they were taken up and we had to park a little further down the hill. A minor inconvenience for those who may be utilising the car a little more.
Communication was mostly and pleasantly done with their manager, Sofia. We were personally greeted by the host, Mrs Agapi who gave us a very warm welcome and gave us several tips on exploring the area. She also made herself available to us and did very kindly drop by to see how we were going during our stay.
Overall, we enjoyed our stay very much. It was extremely nice that Mrs Agapi provided us with some delicious and freshly baked produce. Platanias itself was a wonderful coastal town that wasn't very far from Chania. We only wished that we had more time in Crete.
