Forever Sun

Nestled in the mountains of Chania, the picturesque village of Platanos makes the perfect setting for a laid-back getaway. And sitting peacefully amongst the trees, you’ll find this home welcoming you to enjoy the simple pleasures at the heart of Cretan living. From quiet mornings listening to the sound of birdsong followed by refreshing dips in the pool and delicious barbecue meals prepared with fresh local produce, this is the kind of home that inspires you to settle in and make it your own. Taking inspiration from the natural beauty of the surroundings, the rooms have been thoughtfully styled to bring ease and comfort to your stay. And with the beach of Falarsana just a five-minute drive away, days can be spent moving between the sea and the countryside – all the while savouring the beautiful scenery of Greece’s largest island. In the village, you’ll find a local supermarket for any supplies you might need, as well as tavernas, restaurants and cafes – perfect for mingling with locals and connecting with the authentic spirit of the region. And for explorations further afield, don’t miss the beautiful beach of Elafonisi – just a fifteen-minute drive away.
