Porto Platanias Village Resort in Platanias 730 14, open June–October.
Porto Platanias Village Resort originated as a traditional Cretan settlement in the early 1990s and has undergone extensive restoration to become a full-service destination wedding venue.
Built to honor local architectural heritage while incorporating modern hospitality amenities, the property maintains 28 guest rooms across restored village-style buildings.
This waterfront location on Crete's north coast offers both cultural authenticity and contemporary event infrastructure.
We enjoyed our stay here and appreciated the hospitality and service. The restaurant food was delicious and they had quite a variety. The restaurant staff was very pleasant. The gym was also quite nice. However, we noticed that there were a number of amenities at the hotel that weren’t complimentary, like the safes. It seems odd that there would be a surcharge to secure your valuables in your room. Also, the slides and kid pool area had a surcharge as well but this wasn’t advertised at the websites. Apparently, in order to avoid that these you need to pay for the “all inclusive” package. I understand if that is the case but please advertise this on any sites that show this resort.
