Many travellers choose to stay near Platanias Beach, located just 10 kilometres from the town centre. However, you'll also find plenty of Platanias packages close to Afrata Beach and Ravdouha Beach, two other popular nearby options.

  • Travellers also enjoy staying in villas here. Whether you're heading off on a family holiday or rekindling the romance with that special someone, you'll have all the conveniences you need for an unforgettable break. Conte Marino Villas and Ravdoucha Epavlis - Villa Athina are great choices.
