Lots of shopping and restaurants, beautiful area.
4/5 - Good

Far better area than Chania. Less crowded and nice access to water events. Great local restaurants. Was quite touristy, but that was not a hindrance. The hotel made the trip.
2/5 - Disappointing
Verified traveler
I didn’t love Platanias - very built up and touristy. Nothing particularly interesting to see or do here, although there are some decent restaurants. With a rental car (a must), you can easily explore Elafonisi Beach and the charming town of Chania.
4/5 - Good
Verified traveler
The area is quit, street is not live as in other parts of crete. The area is better for family trip, not for going out at night
