Our Falasarna private tour takes you to the long sandy beaches of the west coast, famous for their sunsets, with pickup from your hotel and a driver who waits for you.
Falasarna is a series of long sandy beaches on the west coast of Crete, about 15 km from Kissamos, facing the open sea. Because it looks due west, it has some of the most beautiful sunsets on the island.
At the north end of the bay are the remains of ancient Falasarna, a harbour town that flourished in the Hellenistic period. Its closed harbour now sits on dry land, some hundreds of metres from the shore, because the west of Crete has risen over the centuries.
Falasarna private tour by taxi
A private tour means the car is only for you and your group. You choose the pickup time, how long you stay and where you stop on the way, and your driver takes you back to your hotel at the end. There is no fixed timetable and no crowded coach.
We pick you up from your hotel or address in Kolymbari, Chania, Platanias or anywhere in western Crete. A taxi takes 1 to 4 passengers and a mini bus 5 to 8; for bigger groups, up to 20 people, we send more than one vehicle. Every vehicle has air conditioning and satellite GPS tracking, and our drivers are professional, certified taxi drivers who know the roads of Crete well.
Plan your day
Falasarna is close to Kolymbari, so it is easy to come for the afternoon, swim and stay for the sunset. Combine it with the town of Kissamos, or with Balos and Gramvousa on another day. Bring shade: the beaches are wide and open. If the wind is strong on the west coast, ask your driver about a calmer beach nearby. In the evening the light over the bay turns gold and pink, and it is the moment most visitors remember.
Good to know
- Stay for the sunset.
- On windy days the waves can be strong: swim with care.
