Golden Sun Apartments  

On Crete’s rugged west coast in Falassarna, this property fronts the famous beaches of the area and sits within a short walk of the sand. Falassarna Beach — voted one of Europe’s best beaches in 2002 — is right nearby. Pet-friendly and family-friendly, it’s ideal for beach days and seaside sunsets.

Accessible via elevator and set in gardened grounds.

The place arranges tours, bike and car rentals, hiking and walking excursions, and has outdoor play equipment for kids. Laundry, an ATM and pet-friendly welcome round out practical perks — wake up to sea-breeze mornings and plan the day from the tour desk.
