On the seaside road just after Platanias, we meet the town of Gerani , which is today the official center of the newly established municipality of Platanias . It is placed on the seafront and its roots wander deep into ancient times. It rests on a location of immense beauty and is equipped with a well-organized tourist network. The luxurious grand and small hotels, the traditional taverns, as well as the nominated with blue flag sparkling beach, are good reasons for choosing this designation for an unforgettable vacation!

From Gerani and moving inland, in a small distance, we meet a beautiful and evergreen village, Modi. At Modi (ancient Modea) large amounts of archeological artifacts that have been discovered, tell us a story that begins in the Geometrical era (600-100 B.C.). All the artifacts are now displayed in the national archeological museum of Hania . At Modi you will meet the typical example of quiet agricultural life, since most of the local population is basically occupied in the cropping of their famous oranges and olives.
