Living near to Platanias has its benefits as you can choose when to visit the vibrant summer crowd or stay in the quiet of your own home. It has to be mentioned that Platanias has the only Bank and Post Office that is open except for Chania in the region.Manosnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2001355641122841572.post-31970389681942518172007-10-27T01:30:00.000-07:002007-10-27T01:37:06.994-07:00Original Greek Salad (Horiatiki) Recipe<a href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_YJwFuBXWJ3k/RyL3oWPqY2I/AAAAAAAAAEg/954eKsVRo88/s1600-h/greeksalad.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_YJwFuBXWJ3k/RyL3oWPqY2I/AAAAAAAAAEg/954eKsVRo88/s200/greeksalad.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5125931598439146338" /></a><br />This is the way to make an Original Greek Salad (Horiatiki).
