FALASSARNA THE ANCIENT CITY
--------------------------------------------
Discover the enchanting ancient town of Falasarna nestled at the west base of the Gramvousa peninsula. During the Hellenistic and Roman Era, Falasarna thrived as one of Crete's prominent cities. Renowned for its natural harbor, which was the only one in western Crete, Falasarna's port was crafted within a picturesque lagoon. In the past, it was known as Korikos, but it eventually adopted the name Falasarna, possibly inspired by the local nymph Falasarni. Its rival city in the vicinity, Polirinia, exerted its dominance over Falasarna after a century of strife in 186BC. Legends suggest that Falasarna served as a sanctuary for pirates, prompting the Romans to take action in 69 BC, resulting in the city's destruction and the closure of the port, marking the end of its illustrious history.
