Platanes is a tourist resort suburb of the beautiful town of Rethymnon The beach of Platanes is located 4 kilometers far from Rethymnon at the East. It is a beautiful well organized sandy beach, expanding to the North Platanes offers accommodation facilities in hotels and rooms to let; several taverns offer local food and drink; facilities for swimming and sunbathing (sunbeds, umbrellas). During the high season a number of water sports are offered on the beach. There is a regular bus service to the centre of town (6 kms.) and to Iraklion another large holiday town. There are easy reach for restaurants, bars, taverns, shops, supermarkets.
The village is known as Kentrochori or Kedrochori or Vouidomagergeio, it is 37.5 km away from Rethymnon city. This old settlement is recorded in the Venetian censi of the 16th and 17th centuries as Vouidomagergeio. In 1881, it forms part of the municipality of Aghios Pnevmatos, under the name of Doumaergiome, with 195 inhabitants. In 1940 it was baptized Kentrochori.

This village is a charming cool retreat from the heat, for those who find the intense heat down at the coast a bit too much. Water rushes through the town endlessly in lined furrows and passes through the village fountains.
The village is set against the lower hills of Mount Kedros. The town has a shaded square and a few kafenions, and surprisingly, given the size of the town an excellent taverna. Greeks come from many surrounding villages to eat the local seasonal fare, very different from what is served in your average “tourist” taverna. The village is full of beautiful old houses, some of which have been well restored and more are being done by local owners and the village is continuously improving. It is well positioned for getting to Spili, Rethymnon or the south coast line.
The beaches of Akoumia are the closest and on a hot summers night it is definitely worth the ride for a evening swim and a meal. The houses are mainly original and many have been beautifully restored retaining all their special features and almost every house I have seen has huge tree trunks for ceiling beams.
