Company info

My name is Sofia and I'm from Sweden. I have lived in Platanias since 1995 and been working as a guide, waitress, receptionist, school teacher in the Swedish school in Chania and now as a Hotel Manager in our family business Sonio Beach in Platanias. After 20 years of work in the tourism area, I have learned a lot of things although still every day there are new challenges with new guests and new situations. I always aim to give all my guests the absolute top quality service. It would be a pleasure to getting to know you and to have you with us in our hotel. "Destination Platanias", is my last project. It's a Front desk online where I give information and tips about the village and the area of western Crete. You are welcome to visit the site. I have three children with Stathis, who is the owner of our Restaurant. He is taking care of you all the very best way and I assure you that you there will get to feel the famous Cretan Hospitality. NEW! NEW! NEW! Join me at my wonderful walking tours in Platanias village between the olive -and orange trees, every week all summer and of course for FREE!
