Platanias Luxury Rentals

High Heliotrope

• 6 guests

• 3 bedrooms

Platanias, Chania

If the culture and history of Greece is as much a draw for you as the sunny beaches, High Heliotrope couldn’t be better located. It’s in the small village of Kontomari, where you can drink in shady taverns and sample Crete’s authentic cuisine, and a 20-minute drive will bring you to the main town of Chania which is filled with medieval architecture, archeological museums, and an ancient harbour.

The Goddess of Crete

Metochi, Chania

Striking and modern, this villa is located within walking distance of the beach at Agia Marina – although we do recommend hiring a car here – and makes for a great holiday base for a family or a group of friends. We love the pool area, which features comfy loungers and sweeping views.

The Great Glass Ceiling

• 8 guests

• 4 bedrooms

Daratsos, Chania

Striking and modern, this villa rises up as though shipping containers are stacked on top of each other. Once the sun sets, it’s illuminated by downlights, showing off the sharp angles and crisp corners of the architecture.
