An captivating route along the breathtaking southern coastline of Crete, where stunning beaches, exotic palm forests and mesmerizing waterfalls await.
Just 30 minutes from Rethymno, our journey begins at Kourtaliotiko Gorge, where we follow an easy hiking path with stone steps leading down to the river. At the heart of the gorge, we’ll discover cascading waterfalls flowing from the rocks, creating a breathtaking natural oasis. The refreshing waters invite those who wish to take a short swim in the river’s natural freshwater.
A short 15-minute hike along a lesser-known local path brings us to Preveli Beach, one of Crete’s most unique landscapes. Here, the Kourtaliotis River flows into the Libyan Sea, forming a striking contrast between fresh and saltwater. The beach is surrounded by a rare Cretan date palm forest, where tall palms sway over the riverbanks, creating a tropical-like atmosphere. Take time to explore the lush surroundings, cool off in the river or the sea, and soak in the beauty of this extraordinary location.
Our final stop is Triopetra Beach, a secluded coastal wild beach, where the rugged coastline meets the endless blue of the Libyan Sea. Its crystal-clear waters and location make it an excellent spot for snorkeling, offering a glimpse into South Crete’s rich marine life. Whether you choose to swim, explore underwater, or simply unwind by the shore, this unspoiled beach offers total relaxation. A small beachfront taverna provides the opportunity to enjoy a light traditional meal with a view, making for a perfect seaside pause before we conclude our adventure.
