Porto Platanias Village Resort

Porto Platanias Village Resort is a mid-range village-style resort on the Kissamou-Chanion Road in Platanias, on the northwest coast of Crete in Greece. It is described as the sister property to Porto Platanias Beach Resort & Spa and is set among gardens near the Platanias seafront, roughly 11 km west of Chania. Platanias is the island's busiest western resort village, with a long sandy beach, a promenade of tavernas, bars and shops, and water-sports operators; offshore lies the islet of Agioi Theodoroi, a refuge for the kri-kri wild goat. Local buses run along the coast road to Chania Old Town, about 20-30 minutes away, and Chania International Airport is roughly 25-30 km by road. The village layout spreads low-rise accommodation through landscaped grounds rather than a single large block, which gives a calmer feel than a conventional resort tower. Listed amenities include swimming pools, beach access, a spa, restaurants, a bar, air conditioning and Wi-Fi, and room types are double rooms, family rooms and suites. Typical dining includes breakfast buffets and restaurant service, with menus and meal plans best confirmed with the property. High-season doubles typically cost EUR 85-170 per night (about $98-195 USD), with the figures indicative and not live, making it more affordable than its beachfront sister. Service is resort-style and family-oriented, and staff can generally arrange excursions to Balos, Elafonisi, Samaria Gorge and the Old Town, as well as car hire. The property suits families, couples and groups who want pools, gardens and the sea within reach at a mid-range price, with the Platanias nightlife and restaurants close by.
