After arriving and settling in at your accommodation of choice, you might want to venture out and explore. If you can't wait to check out the beaches, head to Afrata Beach or Máleme Beach for a relaxing day by the water. Make time for a range of local attractions, which include Platanias Beach and Platanias Square. For more things to see and do, consider visiting Orthodox Academy of Crete or Botanical Park and Gardens of Crete.
