Location info

Preveli – The Tropical Oasis of South Crete.
Located on the southern coast of Crete, at the end of the impressive Kourtaliotiko Gorge, Preveli Beach is one of the island’s most unique natural landscapes. Here, the Grand River (Megalos Potamos) flows through a lush palm forest before meeting the Libyan Sea, creating a rare tropical scenery in the heart of the Mediterranean. The area is also associated with local history and became widely known in the 1960s and 1970s as a peaceful retreat for travelers seeking untouched nature and freedom by the sea. Today, Preveli is famous for its exotic palm forest, home to Theophrastus palms, forming the second-largest palm grove in Crete after Vai. Visitors can walk along the shaded riverbanks, explore the small lagoon formed by the river, or relax on the mix of sandy and pebbled beach while enjoying crystal-clear turquoise waters. A dramatic cliffside viewpoint and the heart-shaped rock formation on the eastern side add to the beach’s unique charm. Preveli offers a rare combination of river, sea, canyon, and tropical vegetation, making it one of the most unforgettable natural wonders of Crete.
