• Preveli Beach - Next, the exploration continues at the Preveli Palm Forest, a unique oasis where the Megalopotamos River meets the sea. This lush area is home to the rare Phoenix theofrasti, or Cretan date palm, which thrives in the fertile environment of the riverbanks. These palms are one of the few places where this species is found, making the forest a special ecological treasure.

As visitors stroll among the towering palm trees, they will be surrounded by the peaceful sounds of the river and the rustling of the palms.

Visitors can take a moment to dip their toes in the cool waters or enjoy the beautiful views, where the river meets the sea in a tranquil lagoon.

Later, the journey proceeds to a traditional taverna located near the Three Stones, where there will be an opportunity to indulge in an authentic Cretan lunch.
