Location information

Preveli Beach

PREVELI (Famous Beach) RETHYMNO
  Preveli Beach is a sandy cove at the end of Kourtaliotiko Gorge. The area resembles a tropical lagoon with its palms, oleanders, waterfalls and stream which flows into the sea. There are two ways to reach the beach on foot: a rugged path marked with arrows along the edge of the cliff to the sea requires sturdy shoes and agility; the other way down follows the track across the river at the arched bridge leading to a taverna and, again, a rugged path to the beach. The easiest way to reach the area is by boat.

Palm Beach of Preveli

38km south of Rethymno, shortly before you arrive at the historic Monastery of Preveli, a track on the left hand side leads downhill to a parking place. After approximately 15-minutes downhill walk you arrive at the beautiful sandy beach with palm trees, where the River Kourtaliotis empties into the sea
