About the Location

Greece, Crete, Chania

Discover Platanias: Crete’s Vibrant Beachfront Haven

Nestled along the golden coast of northwestern Crete, Platanias is one of the island’s most beloved travel destinations—a perfect blend of sun-soaked beaches, traditional charm, and lively culture. Just 11 kilometers west of Chania, this thriving seaside village offers the ideal base for travelers seeking both relaxation and adventure, and it’s no surprise that many choose a villa rental in Platanias as their home away from home.


A Mediterranean Paradise

Platanias boasts long stretches of sandy beaches lapped by the clear blue waters of the Aegean Sea. Whether you're lounging under a parasol with a good book, diving into watersports, or watching a postcard-worthy sunset with a glass of local wine in hand, the coastline here never disappoints. The beaches are organized but never overcrowded, making them ideal for couples, families, and solo travelers alike.


Perfect for Families and Kids

Platanias is a fantastic destination for families, offering a safe and welcoming environment for travelers of all ages. The beaches have shallow waters ideal for young swimmers, while many local tavernas are kid-friendly with special menus and outdoor play areas. Families can enjoy activities like mini-golf, boat rides, and even small water parks nearby. Renting a villa adds even more convenience—parents can relax poolside while the kids play freely, and having a kitchen on hand makes mealtimes a breeze. With plenty of space, privacy, and amenities, a villa in Platanias is the perfect choice for a stress-free, fun-filled family holiday.


Explore the Village and Beyond

Platanias isn’t just about the beach. The village is filled with charming tavernas, cafes, and boutiques. Stroll through the old upper village, known as Ano Platanias, and you’ll find traditional stone houses, panoramic sea views, and authentic Cretan hospitality.

For those looking to explore further, the historic Old Town of Chania is a short drive away, filled with Venetian architecture, harborfront restaurants, and winding alleyways. Nearby day trips include the famous Samaria Gorge, the pink sands of Elafonissi, and boat excursions to Gramvousa and Balos Lagoon.


A Destination for Every Season

While Platanias is most popular in the summer months, spring and early autumn are fantastic times to visit. The weather is still warm, the crowds thinner, and the landscapes bursting with color. Villa rentals during the shoulder seasons also offer excellent value for travelers looking for a quieter escape.

Amazing historical villa near Chania

This family-run villa was welcoming, friendly, clean, comfortable, spacious, and in the perfect location for our family vacation. The host made us feel like part of their family. Thank you for everything!

We recommend this rental property.

We had a great time at the villa. The neighborhood is quiet, perched at the top of a small village. The villa is in excellent condition and immaculately clean. A beautiful swimming pool that is not visible. A small clarification: only the 2 bedrooms are air-conditioned. Aristotle is a helpful and available host. Chania is 20 minutes away by car.

Perfect for a family of 4.

What a perfect place! The beautiful villa is set in a rustic and peaceful village surrounded by olive groves and grape vines. It even has its own miniature vineyard on the property as well as fruit trees of all types. The front veranda was a perfect place to watch the morning come to life and the day end while drinking fresh squeezed OJ from the oranges the owners brought us from their groves. We spent a lot of time playing in the pool after day trips to the beaches and seeing the sights of Crete. The hosts welcomed us on arrival and were there to answer questions if any type. Highly recommended if you’re looking for a place to rest and experience a little of the local rural culture.

Séjour magnifique

Très belle vue sur les montagnes et la mer. Maison bien équipée. Aménagement extérieur top: belle piscine avec une grande pergola bien aménagée (coin salon, coin repas et barbecue). Une autre terrasse permet de prendre l'apéritif face au coucher du soleil. Notre hôte est très accueillant et nous a donné de bons conseils de restaurants et de visites.

Very enjoyable holiday in a very nice villa

I would highly recommend to anyone thinking of renting it. It was spotlessly clean and regularily cleaned with regular change of bedding and towels. The owners were charming,friendly and very helpful if anything needed attending to.

This is by far the best stay I have ever had!

The hosts and their son did everything to make us feel as welcome as possible at all times and their hospitality was very touching. They arranged a cleaning of the villa half way through our stay and welcomed us with some homemade wine, cake and olive oil as well as leaving us some basics in the fridge on arrival. The villa is absolutely stunning and there is more space than it looks in the photographs. The garden, BBQ area and pool was gorgeous with an amazing view of the sea and surrounding area. Inside is really cosy and comfortable, everything you could possibly need is available in the kitchen. Everything was spotless! Communication both before and during the stay was seamless. Platanias is an easy 40 minute walk away and you can easily get taxis to and from the main village. There you can find all necessary amenities including shops and restaurants. We also rented a car and visited some beautiful beaches and areas within an hour's drive. Highly recommended!

services parfaits

Je suis très contente de mon séjour dans la Villa Aris à Modi. Il s'agit réellement d'une construction de haute standing. Je suis plus que ravi de recommander cette villa à d'autres vacanciers. Un grand merci au propriétaire pour son accueil et sa générosité. L’accommodation était parfaite et le service aussi. Je serais ravie d'y retourner une deuxième fois.

Amazing villa

I stayed at Aris Villa for a week with my wife and two young children. The villa is extremely spacious, well appointed and finished to an excellent standard. It was also incredibly clean. The owner Mr Aris along with his father were incredibly helpful and possibly two of the nicest people you could hope to meet. We asked quite a few questions and nothing was too much trouble. The pool area and terrace are particularly impressive, private yet with incredible views. If you are looking for a luxurious villa to base yourself to explore Crete then you can’t go wrong with this as your choice.

Gorgeous villa and wonderful hosts

We had a lovely holiday here at the end of September, the weather was perfect. The villa is located in a quiet village called Modi which is perfect for those seeking some peace and quiet, however, you are well located to explore the rest of Crete. The villa itself is simply stunning, the decor is gorgeous and the rooms are spacious and light, and the villa is well equipped with all the amenities you require during your stay. The outside area is clean and well designed and has plenty of seating. The BBQ is excellent and was frequently used. The pool is a decent size and along with the garden gets plenty of sun on it during the day. The villa is situated a few minutes drive from restaurants in Gerani (on the way to Platanias) or about a 20 minute walk. The main restaurants and bars in the area are in Platanias and Agia Marina. The owners are very welcoming and friendly and made sure on arrival we had some supplies in the cupboards and fridge which we were very grateful for. Cannot recommend this villa enough, you will not be disappointed.

Beautiful Villa in a beautiful location

We had the perfect summer holiday here. Aris and family made us feel very welcome and were incredibly helpful/available for any query we may have. The villa has been beautifully restored and has all the amenities you would need away from home. The pool area has been beautifully designed with the huge shaded outside living area which is ideal for the children to escape the sun. The villa is in a very friendly, quiet village but with a short drive we were in the busier Plantanias with its huge choice of restaurants and activities. It is in a great location to explore the rest of Chania as well.
