LOCATION & DRIVING ISTRUCTIONS

From Chania Airport to Platanias: Platanias is 11km from Chania, and you get there by taking the National Road from Chania to
Kissamos. It’s a major tourist destination and there are detailed signs, so don’t worry about missing the exit from the National
Road to the Platanias resort.

On leaving the National Road you find yourself at a large crossroad. Directly opposite is a sign pointing to Platanias and Agia
Marina, and another pointing to Maleme and Kolymbari. Take the correct route and about 1km further on you will see the sign
welcoming you to Platanias. Even if you miss the sign, the area is so built-up you will definitely know you’ve arrived.
If you turn off the National Road towards the village of Ano Stalos, you will find yourself on the coast road to Agia Marina. Keep
straight on to Platanias. The seaside road from Ano Stalos is a very good one, so take it if you’d rather enjoy a drive along the
coast.

From Souda Bay Port to Platanias: This is exactly the same route as that from Chania Airport. From Souda, exit onto the
Rethymno-Chania National Road. Don’t enter Chania itself or you’ll get bogged down in traffic.
Getting to Platanias by bus from Chania Airport: There are no direct buses from Chania Airport to Platanias. You have to
change buses in Chania.
Getting to Platanias by bus from Chania: If you haven’t got your own transport, there are regular local buses to and from
Chania every day.Especially in the summer, there are plenty of buses all day long until 10 p.m.
Getting to Platanias by car from Chania: From Chania town centre, take Kissamou Avenue, which leads to the coast road to
Platanias. It’s an easy route and you can’t get lost.

WEATHER

The weather in Crete is characterized by mild, rainy winters and hot, dry summers. The climate of Crete is a temperate
Mediterranean climate.
There are significant differences between the coastal zone and the mountainous areas, as well as between the west and the east
part of Crete, when it comes to the weather conditions. The mountains of Crete form an East-West barrier to prevailing northerly
winds and they trap the clouds sweeping down the Aegean. The result is that it may be grey and wet in the north, but sunny on
the south coast where often the clouds do not extend over the sea.

• Coastal zone: Dry summer, mild winter. The rainy season starts in late October and lasts till March or even April. Snowfalls are
extremely rare in the coastal zone of Crete, especially so in the eastern part of the island.
• The east part of Crete (Sitia area) is drier and warmer than the west part (Chania district). This is obvious in the vegetation.
Chania is a lot greener than the desert-like Sitia area.
• The same difference applies between the north coast and the south coast of Crete, with the south coast being drier and
warmer.

CRETE

Crete is an island with an exquisite 1.000km-long coastline dotted with numerous coves, bays and peninsulas, which afford a
multitude of soft, sandy beaches along the beautifully blue Mediterranean Sea. After all, it's among the finest in the world and
has established Crete as one of Europe's most popular holiday destinations. And, of course, the island's historic importance in
today's world as the home of the Minoan civilization with important archeological finds at Knossos, Phaistos and Gortys, is
evidenced by the tens of thousands of visitors to these sites each year.
However, Crete is the largest island in Greece - the fifth largest in the Mediterranean - and, within its diverse area of more than
8.000km2, there are many other jewels just waiting to be discovered by the more adventurous explorers of holiday treasures.
If you haven’t visited Crete yet, this summer may be the time to come and discover this fascinating Greek island. If it captures
your heart, don’t worry. Come back next year and Crete will welcome you once more with its smiling Cretan sun, the sounds of
the Cretan lyre, the scents of orange blossom and jasmine, a slice of cool red watermelon and a glass of iced raki.

Platanias

Platanias is located in west Crete, just 11km west of Chania.
Platanias is one of the most popular tourists resorts in Crete and is so close to Agia Marina that they have essentially merged
into a single large resort.
Platanias may seem a very noisy,bustling place and everything is much more intense, especially if you’ve just come from a less
touristy part of Crete. You certainly won’t be bored here!
A busy nightlife, bars, restaurants, a large sandy beach and countless hotels along the seafront are the basic features of
Platanias, the main tourist resort of Chania Prefecture.
Platanias is near Chania, making it easy to get to if you’re on holidays in west Crete - it’s close to Chania Airport, and you can
