Crete · PREVELI PALM BEACH TRIPS IN CHANIA
Good preveli palm beach trips in Chania fill up weeks ahead and the great ones go first. Below: the 4 to book early, what each includes and how they differ.
Spend 7.5 hours crossing Crete by 4WD Land Rover with guides such as Dionysus, Stavros, or Vasilis. Visit Spili, Karines, Prasses Gorge, Potamon Dam, Kourtaliotiko Gorge, and Preveli Beach, then enjoy a Cretan lunch with unlimited wine.
“Dionysius was great and really informative! We got to see lots of villages, learned a lot about Crete, it’s animals, plants, fruit and people.”
Travel from Rethymno or Chania to Preveli with hotel pickup, a guide, and a scenic boat ride from Damnoni. You’ll have free time for swimming, the palm forest, and Kourtaliotiko Gorge. Guides such as Spiro and Michael add local stories, but the boat ticket costs extra.
“Our tour guide Spiro was very kind, helpful and caring and host!”
Travel from Rethymno to Kourtaliotis Gorge, Preveli Beach, Damnoni, and Plakias in an air-conditioned vehicle. You can reach Palm Beach Preveli by a 30-minute boat ride for €12, swim in the Libyan Sea, and hear guidance in English or German. Guide Barbara is noted for clear tour coordination.
“Not much to say..just amazing experience overall! The weather was great and everything went well from the beginning to the end!”
Travel south from Chania by air-conditioned coach to Damnoni Beach, then take a ferry to palm-fringed Preveli. You get time to swim, walk beside the river, and explore Plakias before returning. An English-speaking guide adds history and mythology along the route.
“Ottima guida. Peccato non sia stato possibile visitare Preveli beach per il troppo vento. Avrei preferito che si avvisasse prima. In ogni caso giornata divertente.”
Pick a coast, a gorge or a kitchen.
