Great natural spectacle.
It is said to be particularly beautiful if you walk in on the western side to the small waterfalls. Unfortunately, I didn't see it myself because it was just too busy there.

View of Preveli Beach

Highlight • Viewpoint

It really is like the Caribbean. Access is via a 200m deep, steep staircase. The beach has a heart-shaped rock formation like the "James Bond Rock" in Thailand. Behind the beach flows a wide, ice-cold, green mountain stream, which you can use to get into the gorge behind it. This is also possible via a "palm forest" path. At the end there are clear swimming pools and a small waterfall. There is a small tavern and plenty of shady areas under palm trees. Definitely worth a visit, even when there are lots of visitors in summer.

Preveli Beach and Palm Forest

Highlight • Beach

Very nice beach. But even in the low season there is a lot going on.
For some circular hikes, the river has to be crossed.
But now there is so much water in the river that my bathing suit almost gets wet.
It's fun to wade through the river with the current, but maybe not everyone wants to do it.

Sturdy shoes are definitely required. Ascent and descent are definitely not easy, it is definitely worth it. Breathtaking view of the valley and the palm garden.
