About Alianthos Garden
Guest Reviews
Alianthos Garden is a great choice for those looking for a holiday close to the beachfront. The location is ideal for exploring the area with a small harbor nearby offering various excursion opportunities. The hotel is situated in Plakias, a beautiful village that serves as an ideal base for exploring the many parts of Crete. There are plenty of other beautiful beaches in the vicinity and the hotel is just a few steps away from shops, restaurants and bars. The hotel's herb garden adds to the charm of its already-great location.

Regardless of what one is looking for though, Alianthos Garden is located perfectly to ensure visitors have a great time!
