Traganou beach is very different from the other beaches of Faliraki. It is the only beach in Faliraki where there is no sand at all – instead, it is filled with small round black and white pebbles. The imposing caves, before the wave of tourism, were used by the locals in a very specific way: they are ideal for collecting sea salt. The natural shape of the area created small salt reserves, which are next to the beach and there the locals collected their precious salt crystals, which they then sold.
