On this unforgettable beach tour we visit the south of Crete and the boat will take us to the beautiful beaches of Damnoni, Preveli and Plakias. Our route starts at 7:00 – 8:45 in the morning from Rethymno, pick up service near the hotel.

On the way to the south coast we drive through the wild Kourtaliotis Gorge, where we stop to visit the magnificent waterfalls and the springs of the little river Preveli. Kourtaliotis Gorge is very small compared to other Cretan gorges, yet it is of magical beauty. Actually, it is perhaps the most wonderful natural attraction in the whole of Rethymno Prefecture. The gorge is an important biotope, since rare species of birds of prey live in the caves formed on its slopes.

After 15 min. drive we stop in Damnoni Beach. The boat will pick up to bring us to Preveli Beach,(the boat trip takes approximately 30 min. of time). Preveli is an idyllic and incredibly beautiful beach, we have 3 hours to enjoy a splendid swim in the crystal clear water of the Libyan Sea to sunbathe and relax as well as to undertake an adventurous walk through the tropical palm tree forest or have a coffee.

The Palm Beach Preveli lies at the south end of the Kourtaliotis Gorge, at the mouth of the Preveli River. The gorge with its huge vertical cliffs, the mouth of the green river and the unique palm-tree forest make the place very different and very special. Preveli is rightly the most romantic, the most idyllic beach of our island. We stay there approximately 3 hours and you have enough time to enjoy splendid swimming in the Libyan Sea, to sunbathe and relax as well as to undertake an adventurous walk through the tropical palm-tree forest.

Afterwards we go to the picturesque bay and the village of Plakias, where we stay for a traditional lunch or for one more enjoyable swimming in the crystal clear water of the Libyan Sea.

About 18:00 we will be back in Rethymno.
