Kid-friendly vacation rentals in Platanias

The place was great. Location was perfect for us: close to some true gems food wise, beaches, wineries, etc. We loved it. We stayed 1 week, so we truly got a chance to enjoy it. Was also able to yoga in the morning with a view on the olive trees. All the little attentions made us feel welcomed.

We really enjoyed our stay at this vacation home. The location is quiet and offers a great view of the sea – perfect for unwinding. The house is tastefully decorated and equipped with everything you need. The landlords were friendly and helpful and made the stay pleasant. All in all, a nice house for a relaxing beach vacation.

This place was an amazing place to stay, the views are the best views you can get if you want a wonderful sunset. I would highly recommend staying here. The beds were comfortable, and the host is very kind. They also were thoughtful with setting out and providing the toiletries and left a little snack in the fridge with homemade products. I would absolutely recommend staying here

The hosts were incredibly kind and welcoming. The place was super clean and everything well maintained. Just felt right at home with an amazing view, great beds and a beautiful atmosphere. Highly recommend!

Our family had a wonderful stay in this beautiful, luxurious villa. Emmanuel is a fantastic host- generous, welcoming, kind, and always helpful. We feel very lucky to have had the opportunity to stay in this very special villa.

Absolutely magical! Roula’s stone house is an incredibly picturesque and charming place to stay. The terrace is a dream – shaded naturally by a tree and offering a stunning view of the sunset. The house is beautifully and comfortably furnished, with everything you might need. A little heads-up for tall people: the doorway to the terrace is a bit low – you might want to duck (don’t worry, we laughed every time!). There are some fantastic tavernas just around the corner, and it’s the perfect starting point for scenic hikes through the area. We loved every minute of our stay and would come back in a heartbeat!

We had an excellent stay at this Villa. Exactly as described and how it looks in the photos. Villa finished to a really high standard and lovely swimming pool. The villa is also nicely equipped & sone really nice touches from the host, Katerina, with locally grown vegetables & olive oil. Katerina went above and beyond as a host with regular cleaning & towels changes etc and was very supportive when our daughter was involved in an accident (not at the villa!) Would definitely recommend and go back 👍

Our stay in the apartment was perfect. The place was clean and had all the amenities listed online. We were able to park near the apartment which meant we could explore all of the local beaches and visit the old town. The apartment was located 10m from the beach, ideal for a early morning swim. We would love to stay at Georgia's place again :)

We had an awesome week in Crete! The space was clean, with everything you need, and exactly as described and surrounded by olive trees, but what really made it special was the hospitality. They are absolutely excellent hosts, warm, responsive, and went out the extra mile to make us feel welcome! Truly rare form of hospitality that make us proud to be Greek. We will definitely come back. Εις το επανιδείν!

Quite simply one of the best places I’ve stayed on AirBnB, which is over a long time. The place is just about perfect, relaxed atmosphere, calm gardens - great cottage with superb views. A pool that they take great pride in (especially Nikolas’s father - and rightly so. He seemed genuinely upset when Sahara sand blew over but diligently went about getting it back to his exceptionally high standard). We arrived late, about 10:30 to a warm welcome and the chef happy to make us anything from the menu, the food is as good as anywhere locally. Very considered, well presented and served with genuine love. Everyone wanted to check my children were happy, and that all was well. Take a car so you can explore the beaches on the west of the island and we took a yacht for a day trip from Chania harbour, which was excellent fun. Really very good place Nikolas has built, his father - who is always around - is proud of his son and daughter, and I understand entirely why.

We had the best time staying at Tanja’s amazing studio. From the second we arrived, we were struck by the beautiful landscape of flowers and orange trees. The pool and patio were so peaceful and the studio was incredible clean and accommodating. The highlight of the stay was Tanja’s excellent recommendations of beaches, tavernas, and excursions. She was both incredibly friendly and communicative. We’d definitely stay again.

Great location, 20 metres from the beach. Lot of restaurants in the area within walking distance. Only 20 minutes drive to Chania town centre. Room is clean and cozy, slightly smaller bathroom but we managed ok. Have room service every other day to change clean towels and bedsheet which is really appreciated. Responsive host, and the neighbours are friendly. Overall we enjoyed our stay there, thanks for hosting us.

Beautiful place and great host

We were there for a total of a week. The room corresponded exactly to the photos – we especially liked the large balcony, where you can linger wonderfully. Unfortunately, the kitchen was very sparsely equipped – there was no salt, no pepper and no detergent or sponge, only some dishes, a pot and a pan. We then took care of the missing things ourselves. Since we couldn't take it with us, maybe the next guests will benefit from it :) Communication was impeccable at all times! A positive surprise was that during our stay the towels were changed and the room was cleaned – an absolute luxury, because from the beach you quickly bring sand into the room. We can definitely recommend the place – we had a wonderful time there!

We had a pleasant stay at Dimos's. Impeccable apartment, very popular terrace, good location, minutes from restaurants. Very quiet place. Dimos responds quickly to questions. Private parking, very much appreciated. Helpful detailed suggestions in a binder. No problem recommending. Line and Maurice, Canada

The apartment is very well located, just a few meters away from the beach. Everything is easily reachable by foot (supermarket, restaurants, beach, cafés). The apartment is bright, clean and modern with 2 big bay windows to the balcony oriented towards the sea. Possibility to use the washing machine and plenty of towels and bedsheets were available. Antonios and Vicky were really friendly and full of tips. During our stay mid October, restaurants were beginning to close for the winter season but plenty were still available. We would recommend this accommodation :) !

Our host was very careful for details, kitchen had all necessary stuff, fridge, etc. everything was clean. Host gift us welcoming gifts and that was lovely ❤️. Nice location, beach is close and you can go to supermarket in 10min on bus. And 25 min to Chania, bus stop is near. Living there was a pleasure.

Everything was really great! Thanks a lot Nikos!

This is absolutely our favorite Airbnb that we've ever stayed in (and we've stayed in a lot). The place is adorable. Katerina is very responsive and lives right by the apartment. The view is wonderful, and both the living room and twin bedroom have doors that open onto that view. It has everything you need and more, with Katerina providing treats and even cereal and milk for that first morning. The air conditioning worked well, but there is also a lovely breeze from the sea. There are tons of restaurants and cafes just below the apartment as well as with 5 and 10 minutes walk in Old Town. It would be comfortable for a couple and a third person (such as a child) or two people, each with their own room. The washing machine was great to have, and you can dry clothes on the lines off the balcony. We did not want to leave.

The places is perfect.

Room was clean, modern, simple and comfortable with everything a person needs.

This Airbnb is just like the photos and worth the distance from Old Town (about 0.4 miles). The terrace wraps around the entire flat and has many seating options in sunshine and in shade. It’s surrounded by beautiful, well-cared for plants with a stunning view of the Sea of Crete and of Chania itself. You can take the stairs or there is an elevator. The hostess left some local treats for us as well as a lovely bouquet of flowers! Absolutely top notch! There is also air conditioning if the fresh air is too warm. The hostess was friendly and responsive. This was the best of 4 Airbnb’s we stayed in throughout Europe. The only thing to note is that the electricity is only on when the card is in the holder by the door. So, if you leave with the dryer or dishwasher running or charging devices, they will pause until you return.

We had such a great time here! Nikos' place looks exactly as advertised, if not more beautiful. I especially adored the high ceiling, spacial living room/kitchen and lots of natural light. In May Greek weather it's a perfect appartment to comfortably sit outside/inside and sleep at night. The center of Chania is about 10 minutes away by car so a rental car is recommended. Luckily you can easily park it right next to the house. You can also get a taxi to get there, which costs for us 10-15 euros for 2 people. The communication with Nikos was lovely. He gave recommendations, answered questions quickly and made it so everything was clear and comfortable for us.

From the start, Sia and her husband were very warm and welcoming. At check-in, they walked us through the apartment, which looked exactly like the photos. The view is fantastic from the front balcony. Everything was very clean. Loved that there were electronic blinds for most windows. We rented a car and there was a parking spot available for us in Sia's garage. We did find the bed a bit too hard for our tastes (to each their own!), and we sometimes had trouble with the wifi dropping in the main bedroom. Overall, we loved Sia's place and would stay there again!
