Geography
Platanitis is situated at the northwestern shore of the Gulf of Corinth, about 4 km northeast of Antirrio and the Rio–Antirrio bridge and 6.5 km southwest of Nafpaktos.[3] The Greek National Road 48/E65 (Antirrio-Nafpaktos-Livadeia) runs through the village. There is a stone bridge over the small stream Platanorema (Kakavos), built in the late 19th century.[2] Uphill towards the northwest is the smaller settlement of Ano Platanitis, also part of the community of Molykreio.
