We had a greta time at Oliarias in Platanias. The apartment was very clean and cozy with a large balcony to sunbath on or to enjoy the sunset. It contained everything we needed and was even cleaned during the week. Its very very close to the beautiful beach where you can rent sunbeds if you like. Platanias has plenty of bars, restaurants and minimarkets, which can all be reached by walking. Theres a close bus station where you can drive to Chania or other places very regularly and cheap. Angela was so welcoming and frinedly. She was available at any time to help us or to give some suggestions about the region. We couldnt have wished for a better host than her!
