We stayed at Aqua Marine in early September and loved the experience. Falasarna is a nice, off the beaten track kind of town with beautiful beaches. Mihalis and his wife are gracious hosts, and it was always nice to chat with them. If you are not pressed for time, the bus is an easy way to get there, but then you are bound by the bus schedules. For more flexibility, a car is a must, as it is a small place without ATM or cabs. Bus/short car ride gets you to Balos beach, Chania, and Kissamos. There are a few restaurants, mini-markets and cafes which easily suit your needs for food, drink and souvenirs. We hope to go back!
