The aforementioned ad refers to a restaurant that has been open and operating successfully, year round since 2006, and is well known and well loved by locals as well as tourists.

The property is not included in the sale price.

This unique business offers a large interior with two separate but adjoining spaces that can comfortably seat 100 people. Each space has its own handcrafted, seating an additional 20–25 guests in total. Some of the special features include hardwood flooring, handcrafted wood cabinetry and shelving, interior and exterior stone masonry detailing, a large stone fireplace, a professional DJ-quality sound system, two 300-litre fish tanks, a wood-fire oven with hand-laid tiles in an enclosed outdoor space, as well as space for a billiard table. Special attention has been paid to lighting and sound throughout. The separate indoor spaces allow for events and happenings in one area without disrupting the everyday operation of the restaurant.

The large exterior can comfortably seat 130 guests in multiple areas. There is a third bar outdoors as well as multiple pub tables for those who prefer a drink rather than a meal. There are plants and trees throughout the exterior, as well as multiple atmospheric light sources, comfortable seating, large shady areas, and a sea breeze even on warm summer nights.

The establishment is excellently configured in terms of functionality and is equipped with professional-grade appliances, a full kitchen, refrigerators and freezers, storage areas, a wood-fired oven, and all other necessary infrastructure to ensure smooth and high-quality service. The space is highly versatile and lends itself to alternative forms of dining operations, such as a café-bar or event hosting.

Furthermore, three months of operational support is provided by the owners, who have a combined experience of 70+ years, locally and abroad.

The location is a touristic area with significant and consistent development, favoring the ongoing operation of the venue. Furthermore, the business has built a strong reputation, which may support continued operation during the winter months, as the permanent local population is sufficient to sustain profitable activity. The city of Chania is just a 20–25-minute drive away, and the center of Platanias is approximately 2 km.
