From Chania: Preveli Palm Beach Day Tour

Explore one of southern Crete's beautiful beaches, a unique combination of sea, river and palm forest. See the island's second-largest palm forest, the Kourtaliotis Gorge, and more on a day trip.
Begin your day with pickup at the designated pick up location and head towards Damnoni. Make a stop at Spili or Asomatos village on your way for a coffee break in order to enjoy the beautiful historical village.

Continue on your journey, as guide will collect the money in order to bring you the ferry tickets. Arrive at Preveli beach where you will be able to stay there for 3 hours and explore the Kourtaliotis Gorge, the Palm Tree Forest, or relax at the beach.

Explore outside of Chania and see a gorge, river, lagoon, a palm forest, and wonderful sand beach all in one trip. See the beach, located near the exit of Kourtaliotis Gorge. Experience one of the most famous beaches in the South of Crete.

Admire the area behind the beach, where begins the second largest palm forest of 40 hectares, which hosts the endemic Cretan palm tree of Theophrastus, protected by the Natura 2000 Network.

Follow the marked path (and it is advisable not to step off it) and enjoy pictures full of greenery and listen to the sounds of running water. Immerse yourself in the beautiful nature and admire the natural scenery.

Make a stop at the end of the river, which forms a small lake at its exit to the sea with year-round water. Take the chance to have a refreshing swim in the large swimming pools that form every now and then.

Enjoy the beach in its natural state, as there are no sunbeds or umbrellas. Stop at the canteen where you can get the essentials if you need to.

Depart from Prevali beach and head to Damnoni where you will catch the bus and head to the village of Plakias as you will have free time to have lunch and drink at one of the taverns.

Make a brief photo stop on the return journey and enjoy the stunning view of Kourtaliotis Gorge, before being dropped back off at your pickup point.
