3Preveli Beach and Palm Forest

Preveli Beach is a hidden gem on Crete’s southern coast, famous for its stunning river lagoon and exotic palm forest.  

The Megalos Potamos River flows into the sea, creating a beautiful contrast of fresh and saltwater. Visitors can swim in both the river and the sea while enjoying the lush surroundings. The nearby Preveli Monastery, perched on a hill, adds a historical and spiritual element to the visit.
