Platani Beach is a small and quiet coastal destination located on the northern shores of the Lasithi prefecture, west of Sitia.

Geographically, it is situated in an area where the natural terrain forms small coves, providing a protected environment for swimming.

The landscape around the shore is characterized by the natural presence of streams, as the Platani Rema terminates at this point. The beach maintains a peaceful and unpretentious character, while in very close proximity to the south lies Agii Pantes Beach, creating a cluster of consecutive small shores.

Access to Platani is via a winding road network that descends toward the coastline from the surrounding mountainous areas. Due to its location far from major urban centers, the beach is an ideal choice for those seeking contact with the raw natural environment of eastern Crete, combining crystal-clear waters with the tranquility of the seaside landscape.
