The sun was shining and the weather was perfect on all of the beaches (I mean, it’s Greece, c’mon).
Falassarna was simply stunning; The views were to die for and the sand was so super soft beneath my toes. Upload a few good books on my kindle, and I could live here. Forever.
And while the other beaches were just as almost as gorgeous, we had to hike to the red beach, we burned our feet on the black sand beach, and drinks were $$$ on Super Paradise.
We literally drove up to Falassarna, walked a few feet, and planted our sun-kissed bodies onto free (FREE!!!) lounge chairs. FREE is literally unheard of in any tourist areas in any of the Greek Islands. (Although I think they were starting to charge when we were leaving…)
Wonderful, fine white sand, and warm, crystal-clear water.
I found some pink sand!
We were basically the only ones there! (We got there super early due to a last-minute decision to venture over here before a snorkeling tour). Although we did find someone to take our picture 🙂
Great selection of local beers only steps away! Although we left at around 11, and were more in the mood for some coffee than beers.
The beach of Pachia Ammos (one of the beaches of Falassarna) is so big that it rarely feels overcrowded even in high summer. But we were there in the early morning, and were among the only ones there at first.
Nearly deserted and very serene.
Well, I can definitely see why it's your favorite – amazing!!
yup, simply gorgeous!

Life is a beach (or should be)The beach looked gorgeous / I like the not many people aspect myselfwill mark it as a must go tothanksmoondustwriter's Poetry nice to meet you thru A to Zs
We loved it as well! I love having a place all to myself, or almost! We got there really early and hardly saw anyone, but people started arriving when we were leaving.
I love this blog for its topic and its different approach. I traveled a lot in the last few years, and a favorite spot for a treat was just across from the train station in Chur, Switzerland. Everything there was superlative but the meringues were beyond description. Delicious and absolutely huge! I wish I could find the picture to share with you here. Mary at Mary A to Z
Thanks for sharing- I love meringues! I'll have to keep Chur in mind!!
amazing!!!
Thanks! I think so too 😉
Another place I'm desperate to visit!
