Falassarna is a seaside village on the West part of Crete in the Kissamos Prefecture about 59km west of Chania. It hosts some of the most famous beaches in Crete of various lengths, all facing the West (which makes it a wonderful place to watch the sunset from). The waters are very clean with lovely turquoise colours because of the sandy bottom.
The exotic main long sandy beach of Falassarna which is called Pachia Ammos has been awarded the blue flag beach and as one of the ten best beaches in Europe many times in the past. It is listed as Nature 2000 due to the wide variety of flora and fauna, which is a place with gorgeous natural beauty.
The beaches are well organized with many umbrellas, a few snack bars, cafes, and a lot of water sports.
From the archaeological side, in the area, there are the remains of a fortified Hellenistic harbour. Because of a sudden uplift of the West of Crete 1500 years ago, the harbour is now located inland.
