DESCRIPTION

Preveli it is certainly the most famous beach of southern Crete, and receives thousands of visitors every summer. On the banks of the Grand River is a large colony of palm trees of Theophrastus, which gives the area a sense of African landscape.
The river forms a large lake 1.5km long before it flows into the sea and has water all year round. You can walk along the river, under the shade of palm trees and other trees, and begin to ascend the beautiful gorge. The swimming in the river will certainly be a pleasant experience. The palm forest was completely burned on 8/22/2010 due to a big fire, but paradoxically returned greatly in a short time.
At the exit of the river is formed a sandy beach with pebble bottom and very cool waters. In the eastern part of the beach there is a beautiful imposing rock, looking like a ship’s mast.

Optional stop
Plakias & Souda beach

After that go to Plakias for a nice meal to a nice taverna by the sea with nice Cretan cuisine. If you have the energy, visit Souda beach (3km from Plakias). A nice long sandy beach that lies at the exit of a valley, run by the small river Finikas which has water all year round.  Also, there you will find colonies of the rare native Cretan palm trees of Theophrastus which offer an exotic hint to the beach.
