Myself and my husband ended our honeymoon in Crete staying a few days with Basilis and Poppi in Platanos.
We both agreed that it was 110% the best place to stay in Crete (and we had been travelling around).
Poppi was so lovely and gave us special 'wedding' treats and they both were so welcoming and kind and friendly. And of course there is Ari the dog. Such a great companion to the house.
As for the rooms themselves, really tastefully done and decorated. We really felt like we were staying in a special place.
A great location for visiting beaches like Elafonissi and Balos (about half way between the two) and of course only 5mins from the amazing Falassarna (no trip is complete without a visit...find the snack bar closest to the beach!!)
Overall an amazing place to stay, lots of fun and laughter and...we will be recommending it to everyone and will DEFINITELY return!
