The walk down takes about 15 minutes and offers a unique opportunity to connect with nature in its purest form.
  • The Holy Monastery of Preveli
    Perched above the Libyan Sea, the Preveli Monastery is one of Crete’s most historic and peaceful landmarks. Visitors can explore the beautiful church, admire the stunning sea views, and visit the small museum that houses rare icons and sacred relics dating back centuries. The monastery’s grounds are home to friendly animals kept by the monks, adding a warm and welcoming atmosphere to this spiritual retreat. Whether you’re drawn by history, architecture, or the tranquil surroundings, Preveli Monastery offers a glimpse into Crete’s deep religious and cultural heritage — a truly serene stop on your journey through the island’s south.
  • Preveli Palm Forest
    Discover the exotic beauty of the Preveli Palm Forest, one of Crete’s most iconic natural wonders. We’ll drive to the closest access point, from where it’s about a 10-minute walk to reach the palm forest and the stunning Preveli Beach, where the river flows directly into the Libyan Sea. Stroll beneath the shaded palm trees, dip your feet in the cool freshwater stream, or simply relax and enjoy the incredible views where mountain, river, and sea meet. For those who prefer to skip the walk, there’s also time to unwind at nearby Ammoudi Beach, a peaceful coastal spot perfect for swimming and sunbathing away from the crowds.
  • Along the scenic mountain road, you’ll have the option to stop for lunch at a traditional Cretan restaurant renowned for its authenticity. This family-run taverna prepares every dish using fresh local produce sourced from Crete, following recipes passed down through generations. Enjoy specialties cooked in the wood-fired oven, drizzled with local olive oil, and paired with homemade wine. It’s the perfect way to experience the true taste and hospitality of Crete in a peaceful, picturesque setting. Please note: lunch is not included.

    End your journey in the picturesque Spili Village, a place that beautifully blends tradition, culture, and natural beauty. Stroll through its graphic stone-paved streets, browse local shops filled with handmade products, and visit the Folk Museum or the Botanical Gardens just a short walk from the main square. Don’t miss the famous Lion Fountains, where crystal-clear spring water flows straight from the mountains — perfect for a refreshing drink and photos.
