Add to list
Preveli is arguably one of the most exotic beaches in Crete! Insulated by a date palm forest and crossed by a river, this sandy beach has a stunning natural setting that’s nothing like you’ve seen before. When it comes to swimming in Preveli, you have two options: the beach and the river. Both are great for swimming, but taking a dip into the river, which is surrounded by palm trees and the stunning Kourtaliotiko gorge, is a unique experience. You can reach Preveli either by car (there’s a parking area nearby) or by boat from Agia Galini and Plakias.
Who is it for?
Nature lovers, hikers, adventurous travelers, and swimmers.
Why we love it?
One of the best things about Preveli is that it gives you the option to swim either in salty or sweet water! What’s more, if you love exploration, you can walk under the palm trees and take stunning photos of the forest. Our tip: To enjoy the unspoiled natural beauty of this beach without the crowds, come early.
