The area of Preveli is located about 35 km south of Rethymno city and protected as natura since 2000.
The palm beach of Preveli, known as lake of Preveli is located at the exit of mega river, which carries the waters of the imposing Kourtaliotiko gorge.
Before we go to the beach, we make a short stop for photos of the magnificent springs, a unique nature because of its landscape. The combination of the huge vertical cliffs of the gorge, the river with its green water, the unique palm tree forest creates a magical atmosphere. It is the most romantic beach of crete.
An almost 25 minutes walk , will give us the unforgetable opportunity to swim in the crystal clear waters of the Libyan sea, next to the tropical river, enjoy the sun and stroll through the exotic palm tree forest.
Leaving the palm beach Preveli, we will visit the monastery of Preveli which was founded probaly in middle ages (10th – 11th century) to 1943 with a long history .
Our last stop, before taking our way back, will be a visit to the old tranditional town of Rethymno for a walk or coffe break.
