Coastal scenery at Preveli Beach

Highlight • Beach

The Amoudi Bay is a quiet, beautiful coastal stretch that is a hidden gem, especially for hikers, swimmers, and nature lovers. It offers a perfect mix of nature, relaxation, and adventure away from the main tourist crowds.

We were shocked by how overcrowded this beautiful bay was. Arrived at the bottom three Touriboote have created, with corresponding noisy tourists. It is recommended to come early or after 17:00, then there is relative peace.

Very nice beach. But even in the low season there is a lot going on.
For some circular hikes, the river has to be crossed.
But now there is so …

Preveli Palm Forest and River Gorge

Palm Beach by preveli.
In a heavenly location, I like it much better than the one in Vai. Highly recommended for a short hike along the river. In between, the big "kids" can play Tarzan and jump into the water.

May 15, 2024,Wanderung, 15.05.2024, 🇬🇷 Preveli-Beach mit Palmen Wald

Preveli Bay is a picturesque, beautiful spot for swimming on the south coast of Crete. The palm forest along a mountain stream, the Kourtaliotis, which flows into the sea here, offers variety. To get to the beach, you have to cross this river. But that is not difficult, as the water is quite shallow. You can reach the bay either …

Heftig schön und der Rückweg ist richtig gemein. 495 stufen sind zu meistern . Wer sich das nicht antun will - muss es nicht. Weiter oben an der Bogenbrücke gehts zu einem Parkplatz auf der anderen Seite des Strandes mit viel weniger Stufen . Ich bin über den Wanderweg zur Brücke zurück .War klasse mit beeindruckenden Aussichten !!! 🌴🌴🌴👍

Jassas,

highly recommended natural beach near Preveli in the south of the island. Can be reached from the north via Rethymnon via the spectacular Kourtaliotiko Gorge (passable by car, no pictures). Access is via a steep descent of 200m over rocks. Behind the beach flows a green, ice-cold mountain lake, which meanders for kilometers in a palm forest in an …

Once you arrive at the parking lot, you first have to go down 400 steps to the palm beach, a true idyll and so far the top highlight of my trip to Crete, super clear water, great view and a very beautiful beach. Several small paths lead through the palm forest that invite you to explore, through the small river …

Part 2 of the micro-adventure locations discovered and desired by our kids took us from the Kourtaliotiko Gorge to the south coast to the idyllic palm beach "Paralia Preveli," which can be reached from a parking lot on the cliffs (€3 parking fee) via a rather steep and rustic natural staircase. Along the way, you can enjoy stunning views of …
