Falasarna
The
winding mountain road leading down to this beach, offers a panoramic
view
of the whole vast bay. Huge fine  white
sandy stretches of wide beaches lie at the bottom of a steep rock
faced bay. In the rock structure lies the evidence of how much the
sea level has dropped in this area since ancient times, witnessed
by the remains of an old Roman harbour now inland. Adjacent to the
bay, lies the old village of Phalassarna (or
Falasarna), where even today life is relatively untouched by tourism.
There are 2 tavernas, one of which has a small shop. The village of
Platanos, 5 km away, offers a larger selection of shops. This area is ideal
for those visitors looking for a quiet holiday, who love open spaces,
crystal clean water and silky sand beaches. This is a wonderful place
to experience the simple pleasures of Cretan life.
