What makes this tour unique is the sequence. It’s not random stops on a map—it’s a gradual transition from north to south, from cultivated land to raw coastline, from movement to stillness. You don’t just visit the Libyan Sea; you earn it, descending through Kourtaliotiko Gorge before reaching the palms and river-meets-sea landscape of Preveli Beach.
It also balances contrast with precision: the openness of Preveli, the enclosed clarity of Kalypso Beach, and the grounded simplicity of lunch in Plakias. Small group size keeps the rhythm controlled—no waiting for crowds, no overpacked timing. It’s structured, but it breathes. That’s rare.

Itinerary
1
Kourtaliotiko Gorge
After the monastery visit, we will drive through stunning landscapes to reach Kourtaliotiko Gorge, one of the most impressive natural wonders in Crete.
2 hours
2
Preveli Palm Forest
One of the most exotic beaches in Crete, Preveli Beach is famous for its unique palm forest and river lagoon. Spend 1.5 hours relaxing, swimming in the crystal-clear waters, and walking along the river under the shade of the lush palm trees.
2 hours
3
Kalypso Beach
Kalypso Beach near Plakias is not your typical sandy stretch—it’s a dramatic, narrow cove carved between steep rock cliffs, where the Libyan Sea turns deep turquoise and crystal clear. The setting feels almost secret, protected by nature itself, with calm waters ideal for swimming and snorkeling.
There are no long promenades or noisy beach bars here. Just raw landscape, sharp rock formations, and water so transparent it leaves no room for excuses—you either dive in or you regret it later. It’s one of those south Crete spots that feels earned, not staged.
