We are a couple in our early 80's making our 5th trip to Crete in September. We're slow travelers, no longer driving, love walking on sandy beaches. We've tried adding Falassarna to previous trips, but it never worked. I just hope I didn't wait too long ... it looks like there's lots of new construction now.
Anyway, we have 4 nights (Sept 10-14). We are looking for a quiet, beachfront hotel that's an easy walk to the sand and to tavernas for meals. We don't need a pool or sunbeds.
The full itinerary, in case this helps: we'll spend our first week in Greece in Napflio (first time there as well). Then fly to Chania and taxi to Falassarna. A bus back to Chania at the end for two nights (we've been there several times), then a bus to Sougia for 2 weeks (another repeat).
We had looked at Petalida a few years ago but it looks like its restaurant has closed now and it's a steep walk to the sand? Any recommendations would be welcome.
