Full Day Tour to Preveli Beach from Heraklion
Overview
The beach of Preveli, also known as Lake Preveli or Phoenix, is located at the exit of the imposing Kourtaliotikos Gorge, where the Grand River (Megalos Potamos) flows. It is certainly the most famous beach in South Crete, accepting thousands of visitors every summer. During the ‘60s and ‘70s, it was a favorite destination for the hippies.
On the banks of the Grand River there is a large colony of Theophrastus palm trees, which give the region a sense of a tropical landscape.
You can walk along the river, under the shade of palm trees, and start ascending in the beautiful canyon.
The bus will stop at a parking lot, the closest to the beach, where there is a path descending down to the beach.
The parking is located near towering vertical cliffs, where you can take some fantastic photos. To reach the beach walk the footpath (app. 300 stairs) that takes about 15 minutes.
After, approximately 4 hours of free time at the beach, the day will come to an end and we will return back
