Beach

Sea Floor

S=sand (sandy beach)

5=the sea water was some the best for swimming. We would go way out of our way to swim there again

(just my own unscientific observation of the water feel and appearance)
My family and I enjoy the water when it is crystal clear, and cool instead of warm. We don' like to see any visible floating particles of any kind or algae settled on the beach.

Topless sunbathing is common


Access

Foot=parking far, long walk to the beach


Amenities

R=restaurant (on the beach)

 


RV / Camper Accessibility

Notes

This review is based on my visit more than fifteen years ago.

Based on this visit, I always remember Fallassarna as the best beach in the world. When I visited, no one really knew it existed, and miles of sand were inhabited by a handful of sunbathers who drove their bikes the long, dirt mountain trail, and then walked down a cliff to reach it.

I am certain that it has developed beyond recognition now, but I am happy I got to know Fallassarna as a hermetic, giant beach, with the best waters and sand I have ever seen.

Beach Location West Crete
Beach Name Falasarna
Year Last Visited 2000-2005
Rating 4=Very Good (would go out of our way to swim there again)
Beach Sand
Water 5/5
Clothing Some beach areas might be suitable for nude swimming
Access Good = Paved road all the way to the beach. Parking near the beach
Restaurant Yes
RV, Camper Accessibility Site suitable for parking for the day, but not for camping
Snorkeling Good snorkeling site
Comments The last 3-4 years it has been more touristic with
hotels, restaurannts, rent romms etc.
But if you come early in the morning (8.30-9.00)
you can still be almost alone for a few hours.
Swimming topless or even nude is not a big issue,
if you pick your spot on the beach with respect of others.

COMMENTS I could certainly recommend this beach. My wife and i went
there in july 2006, and it is a very beayutifull place with very fresh
and clear water. You could easily go topless and even use a g-string
or a thong, we both did without any problems and we saw a couple of
others in thong as well. On some parts of the beach you could even
swim naked still paying respect to others on the beach. All in all a
very relaxed place that could be recommended.

Comments We went to Falassarna beach 2 years ago, in 2004. Absolutely one of the best beaches in Crete! Wide, sandy beach, not too many people. The water was crystal clear and perfect, quite big, waves. We are bringing some friends and going back next summer! The only "downside" would be the lack of shadow, but it is not really a problem, you can just bring an umbrella. Falassarna beach is Highly recommended!!
