Platis Gialos is a small village of whitewashed houses on a hill above a beach, teeming with tavernas and seafood restaurants — even the occasional designer boutique. Its beach is more family-orientated than the likes of nearby party-central Paradise Beach, though no less crowded. It caters more to a crowd of windsurfers and yachters, making for a great base for a family holiday. The best hotels near Platis Gialos include a series of family-run whitewashed luxury villas perched on a hill nearby, perfect for a relaxed, low-key stay.
