Host review score

Melina Beach Hotel is a 3-star beachfront hotel, ideally located within walking distance from the sandy beach of Platanias, approximately 10 km west of Chania City Centre and 20 km from the airport of Chania. Its privileged location right by the sea, in a calm and quiet area gives visitors the opportunity to enjoy an earthly paradise and experience a unique stay experience. The Center of Platanias, which is easily reachable by foot, offers a variety of facilities and activities, such as traditional taverns and elegant restaurants, small bars, mini market, souvenir and jewelry shops. Frequent public bus service is available every 20 minutes from and towards Chania.

Endless beaches and high mountains, beautiful plateaus and famous canyons, quiet villages and intense nightlife are some of the diverse characteristics that create the scenery of Platanias Municipality. It is indeed the synthesis of these contradictions and diversity that, strangely, form a perfectly harmonious environment for a holiday break. Whether you are traveling alone or with friends, with your family or your significant other half, whether you are looking for a quiet, peaceful break from reality or an intense party holiday, whether you are a nature lover or passionate with history and culture, Platanias can be an ideal holiday destination for you. The village of Platanias is becoming, the center of tourism in the wider Western Crete region, during the last decades. The number and the quality of options, as far as accommodation and infrastructure is concerned, make Platanias a comprehensive and autonomous holiday destination. The best part is that some days, when you wake up and feel this pleasant holiday laziness, you don’t need to move from your base.
