Falassarna Beachby Minoa.info / Juhani
Falassarna is a beach area in the north-western part of Crete, which was named after the ancient but ruined harbour city. The still visible ruins date back to 330 BC, and the impressive ruins hold remnants of a long wall which protected the city and the harbour. The excavations are still continuing in the area.
Falassarna is easily accessible from the Chania coastal area, as the road from Kastelli-Kissamos is excellent and only a half -hour drive away from Kastelli. There is more space on the beach than on any other north coast beach but also fewer services. For anyone seeking a peaceful atmosphere this is a good choice. As you turn to Falassarna from the southbound road you will find an excellent tavern Zacharias along the roadside, where food is cooked with old recipes but with fresh ingredients from the tavern’s own garden.
Looking down from the southbound road Falassarna beach can be seen surrounded with green house plantations. The ancient but ruined Falassarna city is located by the side of the further rock in the picture. As you approach the beach you can see the many sandy areas that combine to make the large area of Falassarna beach, which is spacious and sunbathers are few. The sand is fine and the beach steepens relatively fast. For anyone seeking peace and quiet the beach is a paradise. Many islands are visible from the beach.
