The Municipality of Platanias officially handed over two service bicycles to the Tourist Police of Chania on Friday, May 22, 2026, at the Gerani Municipal Office. The bicycles will be used to support the operational needs of the Tourist Police unit, allowing officers to patrol more efficiently in areas frequented by visitors. For tourists, this means increased police visibility and faster response times in popular coastal and tourist zones around the Platanias and Chania region. The Tourist Police are a dedicated unit that assists foreign visitors with information, complaints, and safety concerns, and many officers speak English and other European languages. If you need assistance while visiting the Chania area, look for Tourist Police officers on foot or now on bicycle patrol along the seafront and tourist districts.
