The history of Platanias has its roots somewhere in the Late Minoan period, as we see from archaeological finds from excavations in the nearby villages of Platanias Municipality. Cult objects and grave goods have been discovered in Modi and Vrysses, as well as the remains of rural villas and tholos tombs which bear witness to the life and development of the local area from the 13th to the 4th century BC. The Byzantine period found Platanias, along with the rest of Crete, under Arab occupation. From this time on, the coasts were dangerous due to pirate raids, so the population preferred to live far from the sea, up high on vantage points from which they could watch for enemy ships. This is the main reason why the old village of Platanias (Ano Platanias) was built on the Acropolis hill.
The Venetian period which succeeded the first fall of Constantinople in 1252 has left incredible traces of its influence on the area. It was a village set out in a horseshoe shape on the hill, where Ano Platanias is today. The Venetians were followed by the Turks, who conquered Crete in 1645. Buildings from the last years of the Turkish period are still preserved in the old village of Ano Platanias, along with a Turkish lookout post carved into the rock. There was, a big cannon hidden in a cave cut into the hillside, to defend the area from enemy attack.
