Our holiday at Platanakia was fantastic. The accommodation has everything we could have wanted for a family of four. The villa is a short and flat walk (5/10 mins) to the beach and it has all the essential you could possibly need. The villa is spacious and has good wi-fi (our son was delighted) whilst being fully air conditioned.
Myrtos itself has a number of restaurants - we ate in every one by the end of our two week trip - and whilst the village has life it also has a feel of being a part of unspoilt Crete - a drive around some local villages is recommended.
Communication was excellent from our hosts too. We would fully recommend a stay at Platanakia, Myrtos. After short drives to other towns we came to the conclusion that we couldn't have had better self catering accommodation in a special part of beautiful Crete.
