Ano Platanias is a picturesque traditional village built amphitheatrically on the hills above the coast, offering panoramic views of the Cretan Sea and the surrounding landscape. Away from the lively atmosphere of the beachfront area, it preserves the authentic character of Cretan life with stone houses, narrow alleys, and warm local hospitality. Ano Platanias is an ideal destination for travelers seeking tranquility, tradition, and easy access to the beaches and highlights of Chania.
