Located very near Hania Town, Platanias is, without a doubt, one of the most touristic spots of the prefecture. Full of beachbars, cafes, touristic shops, hotels and tavernas, Platanias is a destination by itself, busting with life during the entire summer season. The beach is well organized with sunbeds, umbrellas, beach bars and clubs and that is why you will most probably have a difficulty in finding a place to leave your towle and have a tranquil swim.
