Preveli Palm Beach
Arguably Crete’s most beautiful beach, Preveli Palm Beach claims an enviable location, stretching across the mouth of the Kourtaliotiko Gorge, overlooked by towering limestone cliffs and fringed by lush palm forest.
The remote beach is unique in that it fronts both the freshwater lagoon of the Kourtaliotis River and the Libyan Sea coast, with a sliver of golden sand separating the two. A hugely popular spot during the summer months, Preveli’s sheltered waters are ideal for swimming, but there are also ample opportunities for hiking, boating or canoeing along the gorge, exploring the nearby waterfalls and caves, or trekking to the hilltop Preveli Monastery. Practical Info
Preveli Palm Beach is located at the edge of the Kourtaliotiko Gorge on the south coast of Crete, about 43 km from Rethymnon.
