Went for a swim at a beach with a café just up the street then we decided to drive up the coast to a beach that reportedly has the best uninterrupted sunset in crete... on the way there we discovered the ancient area of fallasarna which up to 365 ad was a massive harbor on the western coast of crete. In 365 ad there was a massive earthquake (about a 9 on the richter scale) that destroyed the area and raised the ground level by 6.5 m in that area and 8 m on the south side of the island. As for the sunset.... as we were leaving the site it started to rain... we tried to wait it out but ended up driving back to Chania in a rather heavy storm...
