Detailed itinerary

Falassarna Beach is located in the western part of Cape Gramvousa. At the northern end of the beach there are the ruins of the ancient Grecoroman city of Falassarna. Falassarna bay is one of the most famous beaches in Greece, which has been awarded as the best beach of Crete and one of the 10 best beaches in Europe in the past.
Falassarna spans a huge area and consists of five consecutive beaches, with the two most central being the most favorite.

The main beach of Falassarna is called Pacheia Ammos . It is an exotic beach with a length of 1 breathtaking km and a width of 150m. This idyllic stretch of coastline offers visitors endless opportunities for relaxation, adventure, and exploration.

The ancient town of Falasarna (or Phalassarna) is located at the west base of the peninsula Gramvousa and was one of the major towns of Crete during the Hellenistic and Roman Era. The city was famous for its port, the only natural harbor in western Crete, built in a small
lagoon.

In antiquity, it was called Korikos, while the name Falasarna was possibly taken after the local nymph Falasarni.

The opponent town in the region was Polirinia, which managed to turn Falasarna to its port after 100 years of conflicts (186BC).

It is believed that Falassarna was a refuge for pirates. This forced the Romans to destroy the city in 69 BC and seal the port forever giving an end to it’s magnificent history.
This visit is optional.
