About
On Crete, Hillside Vacation Home sits in Άνω, Platanias 730 14, an apartment on the island's western side. The setting places guests in Platanias, a village that pairs easy access to the coast with a base for exploring Crete's western region.
Hillside Vacation Home is known for its hillside position and the apartment-style stay it offers. First-time visitors should expect self-contained accommodation rather than hotel services, with Platanias itself providing the immediate surroundings.

Guests can reach Heraklion, Rethymno, Agios Nikolaos, Ierapetra, Sitia, Matala and Elafonisi from the apartment. The apartment's setting in Platanias makes it a practical base for exploring western Crete.
Greek is the main language on Crete, written in the Greek alphabet, which also appears on road signs and menus.
