At Ioanna’s place, we spent one week of vacations in July 2020. We are a family with two children aged 8 and 10. Everything in the apartment was as in the pictures: new, decorated with taste and convenient for living. We felt like at home from the first minute we walked in. The apartment is incredibly equipped, with dishwasher, washing machine etc. and beach towels. It was perfectly clean! One thing we have never experienced before was additional cleaning during our stay!
I especially have to praise the view. It is just incredible! The whole Platanias is like in the palm of your hand. We totally loved breakfasts and evening drinks on the terrace. The view is something you will never forget and remembering it will make long winter evenings warmer.
As mentioned in many other reviews reaching the house by car is a bit of adventure since streets are narrow. Anyway for an experienced driver with small or middle sized car the task shouldn’t be too difficult. Otherwise by our experience coming with car is a must since it gives you so many great options. We have visited beautiful beaches of Elafonisi, Balos and Falasarna, walked the canyon of Samaria and visited the old town of Hania. Elafonisi beach is must see! If you are a sports type we would also recommend Samaria canyon.
At last but not least. Ioanna is wonderful host - quickly responding, full of useful advice, very kind. She also prepared written description of the history of the city and possible trips and things to do.
Perfect Airbnb experience!
