We went in the last week of October and a lot of shops and bars/restaurants were closed for the season which was a shame. We will visit peak season next time.

Thriving little beach town. Great choice of restaurants and close to all amenities. Beautiful location
4/5 - Good

Lots of lovely bars and restaurants, walk around the town first to check out ones you with to visit. Make sure you check out Cosmos and Astrea (authentic Greek) need to book these. Make sure you visit Chania and gifts are cheaper than in Platanias.
