Full Day Kourtaliotiko Waterfalls And Preveli Palm Beach Tour
Begin your day with a comfortable scenic drive south through Crete’s diverse landscapes, arriving at the impressive Kourtaliotiko Gorge. Enter the heart of this dramatic ravine, where flowing water and cool spring breezes create a refreshing atmosphere. Enjoy a short, easy walk to the gorge’s natural waterfalls, with time to swim, cool off, and admire one of Crete’s most striking natural locations. Continue to Preveli Palm Beach, one of Crete’s most unique coastal destinations. Known for its palm forest, river lagoon, and crystal-clear waters, Preveli offers the rare chance to swim in both the river and the sea, stroll beneath the palms, or relax and enjoy the scenery. After your beach time, stop at a traditional Cretan restaurant to enjoy authentic local cuisine prepared with fresh ingredients. On the return journey, enjoy an optional coffee stop in a peaceful setting before heading back.
