Preveli Palm Forest

Preveli Palm Forest is a picturesque oasis of greenery on the southern coast of Crete. This unique ecosystem, where palm trees grow along the Kourtaliotis River, creates a remarkable contrast with the surrounding rocks and azure sea.

This is an ideal place for nature and photography lovers - exotic palm trees, crystal clear water and a sandy beach create a fairy-tale landscape.

Hiking through the gorge into the palm forest is an adventure in itself, and swimming in the cool river after a sunny day is a real pleasure. Preveli palm forest is one of the most distinctive and photogenic corners of Crete.
