My Rating Overall
5=superb beach, best we have visited and worth going far
out of our way to swim there again
Beach
S=sand (sandy beach)
Sea Floor
S=sand (sandy beach)
Water
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.
Clothing
Topless sunbathing is common
Access
Foot=parking far, long walk to the beach
Amenities
R=restaurant (on the beach)
RV / Camper Accessibility
Snorkeling
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.
