Getting there: Public
transport is very limited and you will need your own car if you want
to be able to move at all. The nearest town (Kastelli) is about 20
km away. The nearest airport at Chania is about 50 km away.
Atmosphere: People
go to Falasarna because it is out of the way and they are looking
for a quiet place.
Accommodation: There
are a
few small hotels, studios and apartments. More are being built but
it is still low key tourism.
Restaurants: A
few restaurants
Shopping: None
Nightlife: Non-existent
Activities: The
beach is what people come to Falasarna for. The only other thing
that you can do here is wander around the ruins of the ancient harbour
of Falasarna.
Beach: Superb
sandy beaches with some of the cleanest waters in Crete and Greece
as a whole. But it can get very windy (the wind often blows from
the West in Crete so you get it full blast in Falasarna) making it
impossible to spend any time on it. This can last for days making
it even more important to have a car so that you can drive to less
windy places should this happen.
Miscellaneous: The
beautiful setting of Falasarna is somewhat spoilt by the many greenhouses
that have been erected. Agriculture is more important for the area
than tourism
