Enjoy a scenic drive through the dramatic landscape of Crete

Begin your journey with a scenic drive south, guided by a guide, to the dramatic landscape of the Kourtaliotiko Gorge. As you enter the heart of this impressive gorge, the sound of running water and the cool breeze from the springs set the tone for an unforgettable adventure.

From there, continue to the palm-fringed beach of Preveli, a place often described as one of Europe’s rare natural oases. With its river lagoon, palm grove and turquoise waters, Preveli seems almost otherworldly.

After your time by the water, head to a traditional Cretan restaurant to enjoy a meal prepared with local ingredients and slow-cooked in a wood-fired oven.
