Indigo Mare Hotel Apartments, Platanias

Indigo Mare Hotel Apartments is a 3-star apartment-style base in Platanias, Crete, suited to travelers who want independence without giving up on on-site comforts. The Kykladon Str. address places you within reach of Platanias Beach and the town’s everyday conveniences, so you can alternate between swimming days and short trips into Chania. Guests consistently rate the property 8.4/10, with many mentioning the practical apartment layout and the calm, livable feel for longer stays. Families often value the space to spread out, while couples appreciate having a private balcony for quieter moments between outings.

On-site, the hotel’s fitness facilities and sauna help balance beach time with recovery, and the terrace and garden areas provide a pleasant setting for downtime. For entertainment on slower evenings, there’s also an arcade/game room, which can be a simple win for kids and teens. A 24-hour front desk and concierge service are useful when you’re coordinating day trips or boat tours in the wider area.

From Platanias, you can plan a day around Chania’s Old Venetian Harbour, about 10 km away, and pair it with nearby sights like the Chania Archaeological Museum and the lighthouse area. If you’re chasing big landscapes, Samaria Gorge is roughly 40 km from the hotel and works best as a full-day excursion. The property also allows pets, which is a meaningful factor for guests traveling with dogs or cats and looking for a more flexible stay.
