Falassarna, Crete: the far west end of the island. No e-mail connections here! Great beaches though, clear blue water, perfect temp for 1/2 hour swims. Those are tomato plants underneath the white cloth covers (see them?) Posted by Hello

I stayed in this upstairs room for 5 nights in Falasarna. It had a view of the sunset, a little view of the ocean, and wonderful people who ran the place. Posted by Hello
