Itinerary

Spili

30 min

Your first stop is the charming village of Spili, where you’ll enjoy a traditional Cretan coffee or rakomelo in a local café and view authentic local products such as rusks, honey, and mountain herbs. Wander through the quiet alleys and feel the true rhythm of village life, away from the busy tourist spots.
Kourtaliotiko Gorge

one hour Admission included

Next, your journey continues off the beaten path to the impressive Kourtaliotiko Gorge, one of Crete’s most striking natural wonders. A short walk leads you to the hidden waterfalls deep inside the gorge, where cool waters and towering cliffs create an awe-inspiring atmosphere. Along the way, you’ll visit the small chapel of Agios Nikolaos, perched on the rocks, a peaceful spot where nature and history meet.
Preveli Beach

Next stop is Preveli Palm Forest Beach, an exotic paradise where the Megalos Potamos river flows through the palm grove and into the sea. Spend your free time swimming in crystal-clear waters, strolling along the riverbanks beneath the shade of the palm trees, or simply relaxing on the sandy beach. For those who wish, a small picnic with local snacks can be arranged, adding a tasty touch to your beach time.
