Built on a lush green area, it promises its guests moments of absolute calm and relaxation. The estate reaches an area of 20 acres and within it, you will find a variety of deciduous and evergreen trees such as avocados, olives, and a host of plants and flowers. As a result, the area also has a wide variety of fauna and for this reason, the owner has formed a place where visitors can see chickens that can give the guests fresh eggs. Guests can enjoy fresh breakfast eggs directly from the nest. The stone-built building and the green area of Casa Avocado make up a very beautiful and traditional picture where you can enjoy your holiday with the companionship of tranquility and relaxation

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 place! We loved our stay at Casa Avocado!

The property itself is just amazing - it is a really cozy stone house very nicely decorated and with a really modern bathroom design. We really enjoyed the jauzzi, barbeque, sauna and you actually have every single appliance and utensil you need. The garden is lovely and even though is close to the main road you feel like being on the middle of nowhere. There are shops/restaurants though very close (5-10 minute drive). However, apart from the property, what makes your stay even more special is the host. She greets you on check in and explain everything you need to know about the house and the area and makes you really feel at home. The welcome package with fresh eggs from their own hens is fenomenal.

There is everything you need for a perfect holiday.

The house is super comfortable with great facilities including bbq, pizza oven and lovely outside seating areas. unfortunately the weather wasn’t great for us but it was nice and cosy in the house. we especially liked that the cupboards had everything you needed for cooking so you didn’t have to waste money on these things.

Casa Avocado is nestled amongst the Avocado trees and has all the facilities you need for an awesome stay in Crete.

There's the pool, sauna, jacuzzi, bbq area and even a view point at the top of the hill which is part of the garden. The hospitality of our hosts was outstanding and they provided us with fresh eggs during our stay, snacks for the beach and a fridge full of goodies on our arrival. The surroundings are beautiful and very relaxing being surrounded by fruit and avocado trees. The location is about 5mins from Tavronitis town, where there's a bakery, restaurants and supermarket. A car is essential if you want to explore the best beaches on the west of Crete. Whilst we were there we visited Elafonisi, Balos and Falasarna beaches, all within an hours drive. A big thank you to Silvia, her husband and mum for making our stay very memorable. We would definitely recommend staying at Casa Avocado, you will not be disappointed!
