Just 700 metres from the Blue Flag-awarded Platanias Beach, this family-orientated villa sits on a small complex within walking distance of Cretan eateries and shops. For hangouts at home, a private plunge pool and a barbecue await, though you may spot a neighbour or two at the communal children's play area, car park, and shared laundry facilities. Fancy indulging in the extra services available? Hire a professional chef to cook dinner one evening or arrange a boat cruise to Agioi Theodoroi.
