The beach is fully organized with sunbeds, beach bars, water sports, and lifeguards on duty throughout the summer, making it ideal for both families and swimmers seeking a safe and enjoyable seaside experience.

Platanias is one of the most popular coastal resorts in western Crete, located just 10 kilometers west of Chania. The village perfectly blends traditional Cretan charm with a lively holiday atmosphere, offering an abundance of restaurants, cafés, bakeries, supermarkets, boutiques, beach bars, and nightlife, all within easy walking distance from the property.

Beyond the modern beachfront lies the historic Old Platanias, perched on the hillside above the coast. Here, visitors can wander through picturesque narrow streets, discover traditional tavernas, admire panoramic sea views, and experience the authentic character of one of Crete’s oldest settlements. The village has a fascinating history dating back to the Venetian era and later played an important role during the Cretan Revolution, adding cultural depth to every visit.

Just offshore, guests can admire the protected islets of Agioi Theodoroi (Thodorou Islands), a Natura 2000 wildlife reserve that serves as one of the last natural habitats of the famous Cretan wild goat, the kri-kri. Visible from the beach, these iconic islands form one of the area’s most recognizable landscapes and add to the unique beauty of the coastline.

During the summer, Platanias comes alive with cultural events, local festivals, and traditional celebrations, including the annual feast on 15 August, when visitors can enjoy authentic Cretan music, dancing, and local delicacies alongside residents.

Its privileged location also makes Casa Meropi an excellent base for discovering western Crete. World-famous destinations such as Balos Lagoon, Falassarna Beach, Elafonissi, and the charming city of Chania are all within comfortable driving distance, allowing guests to combine relaxing beach days with unforgettable excursions.

Offering an unbeatable combination of beachfront living, generous accommodation, and one of the finest locations in Chania, Casa Meropi invites guests to experience the very best of Crete, where the sea, local culture, and Cretan hospitality come together to create truly unforgettable holidays.
