Gerani is a busy little village found just to the west of the livelier and larger resort of Platanias, but what it lacks for in size, Gerani makes up for with a sense of friendliness and Cretan filoxenia that ensures that the local tavernas and kafenions get plenty of repeat business from their patrons.

​

Some of the village businesses have been modernised and revamped recently and you can be sure of finding something to eat and drink to suit your tastebuds on any day of the year.
