Full description

Our day begins in the morning with your pick up from your hotel. After our coach ride we arrive at the beautiful Damnoni beach, where our boat is waiting for us to take us on a 30-minute boat ride to our first stop of the day, the magnificent beach of Preveli. As we approach our destination, you will be amazed by the unique landscape surrounding us that consists of vertical cliffs of the gorge, the beautiful palm-tree forest and the crystal clear water of the beach. The Grand River ( Megalos Potamos ) that runs through the Kourtaliotiko Gorge and then empties into the sea, makes the water cool and refreshing, ideal for an amazing swim break. On the banks of the river there is a large colony of Theophrastus palm trees which give the region a sense of a tropical landscape. Walk along the sandy beach, under the shade of the palm trees and experience the exotic side of Crete.
We then head back to Damnoni beach, a long bay with beautiful turquoise waters where you can continue your swim and have a delicious meal in one of the traditional restaurants located there.
Our last stop of the day is the lovely city of Rethymno. Mostly known for its Venetian fortress, called Fortezza, Rethymno is considered to be a jewel of the island. Whether you choose to scroll around the narrow streets or have a coffee next to its beautiful Venetian port, you will have an unforgettable experience!

Highly recommended, pleasant bus ride (minibus), beautiful landscapes, boat trip with stunning views and the main destination: Preveli. Planning was excellent. However, there was no city tour for us, but we were able to move around freely and spend time in Rethymno as we wished. Important: I recommend this trip only in good weather.

Very nice guides. Organization on the return trip was not so good. Had to ask again if we had to get off because it wasn't clear enough. We were taken to the hotel by a van. They gave the wrong hotel names and mixed things up. Otherwise this tour was very nice and we would highly recommend it.
