Preveli Beach is beautiful. Crystal clear, turquoise, green shimmering water surrounded by mountains and a fresh water river surrounded by palm trees. It is a dream stand that has to be seen. The hotel pickup worked very well. The bus was modern and a double decker. The boat ride from Damnoni Beach was also lovely and enjoyable. I would have liked to be longer in Damnoni Beach because it is also a beautiful beach with crystal clear green water, where you can swim wonderfully. He is much more beautiful than Plakia. I don't understand why you have 2 hours in Plakia, although Damnoni is much nicer. In Damnoni we only had 40 minutes. Time to go into the sea for a moment and then the boat came. Therefore also a star deduction. Personally, I didn't like Plakia very much. The beach has a lot of stones, both in the water and on the beach itself. The sea was a bit choppy there and you couldn't swim very well.

Best excursion you can do!

Don't miss this excursion. The additional 10 € for the boat trip to Preveli are very fair and really worth it. The palm beach is super beautiful and the perfect planned tour never made it boring. During the entire bus trip there was interesting information about Crete and the places that are visited are very nice. The beaches are clean, uncrowded and beautiful. Must do!

Nice day, beautiful locations!

Nice day. On preveli beach I definitely recommend to go through the palm forest and definitely climb off the stones off road to end up in a great location. Beginning of the river between the mountains. We visited 3 beaches, although the last one was too much. You were tired and had already seen 2, the 3rd beach, plakias was not special or oh so beautiful. At the start of the day I also drove to a gorge, got out there, 280 steps down, great views of the waterfall. A nice guide, speaking both German and English. A nice addition to our vacation
