Wild Wonders of Crete
Preveli Palm Forest, Kourtaliotiko Gorge & Kalypso Beach
Overview
This tour is for those who crave a mix of adventure, hidden beauty, and pure relaxation. It begins in the heart of Kourtaliotiko Gorge, where towering cliffs carve through the landscape, and a short scenic hike leads to cascading waterfalls—an untouched, almost mystical place where nature’s power and serenity blend perfectly.
From there, the journey slows at Kalypso Beach, a secluded cove embraced by dramatic rock formations. The deep, clear waters invite you for a swim, while the peaceful atmosphere makes it easy to disconnect from everything but the sound of the waves.
Then, a change of scenery— Preveli Palm Forest, where a river winds through lush greenery before meeting the sea. A short walk brings you to a place that feels almost tropical, where fresh water and salt water merge, and the palms sway in the breeze. It’s a scene pulled from a postcard, a place to explore or simply take in the breathtaking surroundings.
For those who want to linger in the moment, an optional stop at a traditional taverna offers the chance to enjoy slow-cooked local dishes and the warm hospitality of Crete. This tour is perfect for nature lovers, adventure seekers, and anyone looking for a balance between exploration and relaxation. Whether hiking through gorges, swimming in hidden coves, or walking beneath towering palms, it’s a journey that leaves you with a deep sense of connection to Crete’s wild and beautiful spirit.
