Preveli Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

On the way to Preveli you pass this beautiful single-arch bridge from the Ottoman period. And with a view of the bridge next door is a shady tavern.

Coastal scenery at Preveli Beach

Highlight • Beach

The Amoudi Bay is a quiet, beautiful coastal stretch that is a hidden gem, especially for hikers, swimmers, and nature lovers. It offers a perfect mix of nature, relaxation, and adventure away from the main tourist crowds.

We were shocked by how overcrowded this beautiful bay was. Arrived at the bottom three Touriboote have created, with corresponding noisy tourists. It is recommended to come early or after 17:00, then there is relative peace.

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 …

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 …

Highlight • Viewpoint

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.

You neex fo wafe across the river at the beach to continue the walk. Better upstream but still thigh deep

November 14, 2023,Bergwanderung_Kreta_Preveli Schlucht_Preveli Beach_10_km

Really beautiful hiking trail in and around the Preveli Gorge, generous parking lot, path to the beach via quite challenging stairs, not for older people with heart problems, basic fitness and sturdy shoes required, when the water level is high you have to go through a 50cm high arm of the river on the beach, if you want to hike …

The first third up to the tavern by the bridge is good. After that, unfortunately, it's only on the road to the sea. Outside of the season, there's very little traffic, but walking on the road for so long is stupid. It's better to take the hiking trail on the right about 200 m after the tavern.
By the sea, …

April 17, 2024,Ersten Blick zum Traum Stand ! – Palmenstrand Runde von Λευκώγεια

The way we did the tour is not recommended, as over 50% of it is road with no highlights. So it's just something to cover some kilometers. You just walk around the mountain! The first third up to the bridge/tavern (highly recommended) and the last part are beautiful. So we recommend turning right about 1 km behind the tavern. There …
