Alectrona Living Crete Luxury Villa Ãcro

Part of the Alectrona Living Crete complex, this brand-new 140 sqm maisonette sits right at the edge of the hill in Upper Platanias. Just a short distance from the vibrant center of Platanias yet blissfully removed from the crowds and noise, it offers the perfect blend of convenience and tranquility. The breathtaking views, the gentle sound of the waves, and the spectacular colors of each sunset will recharge your spirit and calm your mind.

From both the spacious living room and the master bedroom, you’ll be treated to an insane, panoramic view of the sea—a view so captivating that it’s impossible to miss. This is a space where every detail invites relaxation and sheer enjoyment.

ABOUT THE NEIGHBORHOOD

The apartment is situated in the peaceful neighborhood of Upper Platanias, the charming old village perched on a hill with a beautiful view of the area. Just a 10-minute walk down the hill, you'll find the lively main street of Platanias, filled with restaurants, beach bars, clubs, and shops. You can also find plenty of adventures, like boat cruises, water sports, and excursions to explore the island.

The main square of Platanias is only 10 minutes from the apartment, while Chania’s city center is just 10 km away, or about a 25-minute drive. Getting to Chania is convenient with several options: buses run every 15 minutes from the main square in summer season, with less frequent service in the winter, taxis cost approximately 20 euros, or you can easily drive.

Platanias is one of the best locations in the region, ideally positioned to explore the stunning beaches and popular sites nearby. From this central spot, many of Crete’s finest attractions are just a short journey away, making it the perfect base for a memorable stay.
