Area Information for Falassarna
Falassarna is the western most village in Crete, located approximately 20km from Kissamos in the neck of the
Gramvoussa peninsula. The name Falassarna is pre-hellenic and is derived from the nymph "Falassarni". Falassarna used
to be the port of ancient Polyrinia. The peak of the city of Falassarna was during the Hellenistic period and at the time the
city had its own coin. Its port was closed and surrounded by walls and it was connected to the sea with a canal. The port
and the canal today are cultivated land due to the fall of the sea-level, the ancient remnant's are located 300-400 meters
from the sea. The secure position of the port, the impregnable fort and the rich valley of the area indicate that Falassarna
was a great naval and commercial center. The ruins of ancient Falassarna can be visited.
Present days Falassarna is a quiet beach resort, with some small hotels, apartments and taverns, close to the wonderful
sandy beach. The visitor can admire the magnificence of the archaic landscape and the blue sky. One of the most beautiful
stretched sandy beaches in Crete, "Pahia Ammos" (thick sand), is located south of Falassarna. Falassarna – Together
with Elafonissi, Falassarna is probably the most famous beach in Crete and indeed Greece. Well deserved of its fame due
to the vast expanse of fine sand and crystal clear open sea. In recent years Falassarna has also hosted an annual beach
party on the first Saturday in August which has become famous throughout Greece and Europe.
