Falassarna Beach is staggeringly beautiful, without a doubt one of the best beaches in Crete and one of the most beautiful places to visit in Greece. There are actually five beaches rather than one, all very different in character. It’s in a quiet corner of north-west Crete, a blissful spot that feels like it’s on the edge of the world. Falassarna is somewhere that got under our skin more than any of the other top Crete beaches. We weren’t quite expecting it, but we both felt it is one of the most beautiful places in the world that we’ve visited.
