Overview

Get introduced to some of the best beaches on the south coast of Crete on a guided day trip to Plakias and Preveli Beach. Explore the island's stunning palm forests and unwind on beautiful sandy shores.

As we journey to these beaches, we cross the wild Kourtaliotis Gorge by bus, stopping to admire its magnificent waterfalls and the springs of the Preveli River. We then head to the sandy beach of Damnoni, where a boat will take us on a scenic thirty-minute ride to the famous Palm Beach of Preveli.

After enjoying the breathtaking Palm Beach of Preveli, we continue to the picturesque village of Plakias for a traditional lunch, with the option for one more refreshing swim before heading back.
