Platanos is built on the slopes of Parnonas on the edge of a fiercely green ravine. Traditional neat houses, narrow tile-floored alleys, luxuriant vegetation of pear, cherry and walnut trees as well as plentiful water compose the complexion of the village, which offers tranquility and serenity to the visitor. The climate favors the co-existence of vegetation that is hard to find somewhere else: vineyards, pine trees, firs, oaks and a rich variety of herbs.
