Chania is Crete!

 On the NW coast of Crete – 50km from the city of Chania and 17km from Kasteli (also called Kissamos) - a vast sandy zone stretches out. It is Falassarna, one of the most popular destinations on Crete, a sequence of five beaches separated from each other with dunes and rocks. Pachia Ammos, a 1km long broad golden and pink beach surrounded by imposing mountains, is the one receiving most of the visitors, thanks to its thin sand, deep crystal waters, and a view to the enchantment of a sunset; no wonder it is amongst the most renowned beaches in Europe!

What is more, it is very well organized with beach bars, umbrellas, a beach volley court, and sea sports facilities. Accommodation and delicious Cretan food are also available in the wider area that belongs to the Natura 2000 ecological network of protected ones. You don’t have to go far to visit the remnants of the ancient town, as well as the quarry, the carved throne, and what is left from the temple of Artemis. Overlooking the bay of Falassarna and worth a visit too, there is also the church of St Fotis and St Invincible built in a cave.
