During your trek through the untamed Kourtaliotis Gorge, you will come across two stunning beaches that are unlike any others on the south coast of Crete.

People travelling to Crete should include in their bucket list a visit to the Palm beach of Preveli. This beach can be found in the island's southern region.

In the midst of the harsh and desolate mountains of South Crete, Preveli is almost like an oasis. A one-of-a-kind scenery that begins with a canyon, continues with a river that is flanked by a palm forest, and ends up into the Mediterranean Sea. You will also have the opportunity to visit the beach of Damnoni and the city of Rethymnon, which is the capital of the region!
