Avra Imperial Hotel
Located in Platanias, Avra Imperial Hotel is connected to the convention center. Manousakis Winery and Old Venetian Harbor are worth checking out if an activity is on the agenda, while those wishing to experience the area's natural beauty can explore Falassarna Beach and Balos Beach. Orthodox Academy of Crete and Elafonissi Beach are two other places to visit that come recommended. Scuba diving and snorkeling offer great chances to get out on the surrounding water, or you can seek out an adventure with hiking/biking trails and horse riding nearby.
