Welcome to

Golden Sun

Falassarna, Crete

Our rooms and apartments are built amphitheatrically on the hillside, so they look out over a spectacular stretch of sea, and each has what a holiday needs, air conditioning included.

Welcome to Falassarna

Golden Sun offers rooms, studios and apartments for every budget and every kind of trip, from a couple's double to a house for a big family.

Falassarna is the most popular beach of Crete, and we're in one of the most beautiful areas of Chania, with an open view over the bay and the sea a short walk downhill. Here you'll find our new stone-built maisonettes and the Golden Sun studios, their walls raised in solid stone that sits naturally in the landscape.

Top places to visit

Falassarna and the west

Karkatsouli Beach is just 500 meters from us and Falasarna beach just 700 meters, so the morning swim is a walk away. Further along the west coast you have Balos, Elafonisi and the old town of Chania for the days you want to explore.
