Falassarna Beach, Crete, Greece


4.5 (3.731 reviews) Spent More than 3 hours Ranking #1 in Crete Beaches

Beautiful sandy beach

This public beach on the Western coast of Crete is known for its powdery white and pink sand, stunning sunset views, and tranquil atmosphere. Just a short drive from Kissamos, Falassarna Beach is also a protected nature reserve that’s home to a wide variety of flora and fauna. Stroll along rolling sand dunes, go jet skiing and surfing amid crystal clear waters, or check out the string of seafood tavernas lining the coast. Lounge chairs and umbrellas are available for rental on a first come first serve basis, so come early to secure the best spots right by the sea. – Tripadvisor

    By far the best beach in Crete
    It is said that Falassarna beach is in the top 10 most beautiful beaches of Europe and the best one in Crete, and it deserves it's place in the top. We only went there once, after visiting other beaches of Crete, and we loved spending an entire day there. It is not only the large beach and the nice sea and the sunset that impressed us, but also all the facilities offered. 2 sunbeds and umbrella cost 15 eur and you could order a large variety of drinks, snacks that will be delivered fresh and fast directly on the beach from the bar/restaurant that is 200 m far. At the restaurant you can enjoy a variety of Mediterranean, Italian food, served impeccably. Everything is very clean, well maintained, you have all the ingredients for spending a perfect day at the beach. The fact that you can only get there by car is a plus, because it doesn't make it look like a very crowded beach, as it does with the ones where ships are anchoring and thousands of tourists are getting on/off.

    Fantastic place!!!
    I love Falasarna!!! ! I've gone there three times, and all have been great experiences!! The water was clear and turquoise when it was the middle of the day, but not when it was late-ish...Though it was still beautiful... I recommend going at least once when there is a lot of light to see the wonderful waters in their prime. You can rent sunbeds with parasols for 15 euros font line, or 10 for the rest. It gets a bit cramped with all of the sunbeds, but you forget about them when you go in the water. There are a few places to buy drinks and food, and some restaurants. All in all, a great place!
