3Preveli Beach

Preveli Beach, situated on the southern coast of Crete near Rethymno, is a magical combination of a river, a palm forest, and the Libyan Sea. The Kourtaliotiko River flows into the sea here, creating a unique setting where visitors can swim in both freshwater and saltwater.

Accessible by boat or a short hike, Preveli is a haven for nature lovers. The area’s lush greenery contrasts beautifully with the turquoise waters, making it an idyllic escape. History buffs will also appreciate the nearby Preveli Monastery, which played a significant role during World War II.
