Falassarna spans a huge area and consists of five consecutive beaches, with the two most central being the most favorite. The main beach of Falasarna is called Pacheia Ammos . It is an exotic beach with a length of 1 breathtaking km and a width of 150m. This idyllic stretch of coastline offers visitors endless opportunities for relaxation, adventure, and exploration. With its crystal-clear water and white sandy beaches, Falassarna is the perfect place to unwind and relax. Since the beach faces West, Falasarna is famous for its majestic sunset, which is considered the best in all Crete because of its unhindered horizon view, as visitors literally watch the sun dive in the sea.

Ancient Falassarna

The ancient town of Falasarna (or Phalassarna) is located at the west base of the peninsula Gramvousa and was one of the major towns of Crete during the Hellenistic and Roman Era. The city was famous for its port, the only natural harbor in western Crete, built in a small lagoon.

In antiquity, it was called Korikos, while the name Falasarna was possibly taken after the local nymph Falasarni. The opponent town in the region was Polirinia, which managed to turn Falasarna to its port after 100 years of conflicts (186BC). It is believed that Falassarna was a refuge for pirates. This forced the Romans to destroy the city in 69 BC and seal the port forever giving an end to it’s magnificent history.
