to Preveli Beach

Preveli Beach is a true natural gem located on Crete’s stunning southern coast, renowned for its rare and protected palm forest where the freshwater Kourtaliotiko River meets the turquoise waters of the Libyan Sea. This extraordinary meeting of river and sea creates a lush, tropical oasis surrounded by dramatic cliffs and soft golden sands, making it one of the island’s most unique and picturesque spots. Visitors have the chance to swim in both the cool, refreshing freshwater river and the crystal-clear sea, offering a refreshing escape during the warm summer months.

For those who enjoy exploring, several well-marked walking trails wind through the gorge and along the coastline, providing breathtaking panoramic views of the rugged landscape and inviting visitors to immerse themselves in Crete’s natural beauty. The serene atmosphere of Preveli Beach makes it an ideal destination for nature lovers, photographers, and anyone seeking a peaceful retreat away from the crowds.
