Everything at Ariadne Beach was exceptional: the room was spacious and quiet, the bed was comfy, the WiFi strong. The breakfast was amazingly delicious and eating by the beach is a balm for the soul. We also ate dinner at the restaurant most...

Property info

Hello travelers 🌎🌍🌏 Since 1989, our family has been dedicated to offering a warm, welcoming experience to every guest who walks through our doors. The story began with our beloved grandmother -giagiá-(Ariadne), and our grandfather, Kostas. Their vision for Platanias led to the creation of one of the first accommodations in the area, which paved the way for what we have today.🙏🏻 Now, the hotel is run by their children, Manolis and Anastasia, and their grandchildren—Ariadne (yes, named after our grandmother), Konstantinos, Efi, and Christina, who writes to you today. Over the years, we’ve modernised and renovated the hotel, but the core values of philoxenia (Greek hospitality) and hard work remain unchanged. We aim to provide a family-oriented experience where our guests feel right at home. 🌺 We are a proud 2-star hotel, offering great value and personalised service. Many of our guests return year after year, celebrating milestones like weddings and special occasions. Our hotel is not just a place to stay—it’s a place where memories are made.♡ Start your day with our delicious breakfast, featuring fresh dishes that give you the energy to explore Platanias. In addition, our fully renovated and seafront restaurant offers a modern menu that highlights the best of Greek cuisine, prepared with love and care.And if you’re not in the mood for a full meal, simply pick a glass from our extensive wine list and watch the sunset or the endless blue of the sea. 🌊 Isn’t it time for your next adventure? ☀️🇬🇷

Neighborhood info

Whether you're craving long walks through fields of olive trees, stunning mountain views, or a day lounging on the beach, we’ve got it all. The best part?

The best part? You're just 20-25 minutes from Chania, and not far from famous beaches like Elafonisi—perfect for day trips. ⛱ The bus station is just a one-minute walk from the hotel, making it super easy to get around, and there are supermarkets just around the corner for all your essentials. 💡 Need some good food or a little shopping? The main road is full of local shops, cafes, and restaurants to explore. You can also try a delicious meal at our own restaurant, where we’re always happy to share our favorite local flavors. ☺️ So, whether you're here to relax or explore, Platanias is sure to steal your heart.
