Also a very beautiful and interesting place to visit is the Municipal Market of Chania.

Guestbook
Villa "Rhapsody" is an "OASIS" in the middle of Platanias. When we arrived we were afraid cause the streets were full of toursts, souvenir shops and things like that and we were looking for something different, something special... something like this! Thanks for all. We have found all perfect: the sun, the beach, the swimming pool...and the pretty house..! It makes you feel like at home! Finally, but the most important thing...Dimitriadis family! Yioula and her smile, Agis with his rock...quiet rock... really, really nice! Few days, but the best holidays we have had. Waiting for another time to come back!!! Thank you! The Charte Family: Angel, Margarita, Hugo, Lucas, Ines Barcelona, Spain, September 2008.
