    What To Expect

    Preveli Palm Forest

    Lush Theophrastus palm trees grow along the riverbanks, creating a tropical atmosphere. This is the secondlargest palm forest in Crete, after Vai. The river forms a small lake about 500 meters long before flowing into the sea. You can walk along the river under the shade of the palm trees or explore the beautiful canyon. At the river’s exit, the beach has a mix of pebbles and sand, and on the eastern side, there is a rock shaped like a heart.Here, you will have plenty of time to swim in the turquoise waters, relax in the sun, and enjoy the unique scenery.The bus will drop us off at the nearest parking area, surrounded by tall cliffs—perfect for taking amazing photos. To reach the beach, we follow a footpath with about 300 steps, which takes around 15 minutes.After about 4 hours of free time, we will return to the bus and head back to your hotel.
