Preveli Beach


The most famous, idyllic and exotic beach
The beach of Preveli or Finikas as the locals call it is a unique exotic paradise with fine sand, clear emerald waters, a forest of palm trees and a small lagoon formed from the floating to the sea river, Kourtaliotis. This scenic and unusual landscape has marked Preveli as a popular spot since the 70's. The facilities are reduced to the minimum, only for food and drinks, in order to keep this remarkable enviroment uniquely natural. The beach is situated 40 km from Rethymno and it can be reached either by boat from Plakias or by car which will be left 1,5 km away from the beach at the parking area of the Preveli Monastery. Although more difficult the second way, it will reward you with an outsanding view of the whole scenery from above.
