Just a perfect place: comfortable, very clean, very close to the beach and very very nice host. The appartment is equipped in litterally everything you may need - we especially enjoyed the washing machine after 10 days of holidays. There is cute terrace to enjoy your wine in the evenings in the candles light (and yes, there was a wine opener in the kitchen!). In the fridge we found a bottle of cold water waiting for us. The sheets and towels were white as snow and there were toiletries in the bathroom and a hair dryer in a drawer. The supermarket is in 50 m distance with everything you may need (from food to swim suits and souvenirs), some taverns and bakery are very close as well. We didn't explore much of Platanias so I cannot say more about the neighbourhood, but as a base for escapades to all interesting places in western Crete it was just perfect. I strongly recommend! Thank you, Theocharis!
