Life’s a beach

With its quirky beach bars and water sports for all the family, it’s no surprise Platanias is home to one of the most popular beaches near Chania. Swim in the warm waters and relax on the sands - you might even catch a glimpse of the endangered loggerhead sea turtles nesting on the shores!
