Description - What to expect

Discover the natural beauty and charming villages of Southern Crete on a private van tour starting from Chania or Rethymnon. This delightful journey takes you through picturesque Spili village, the dramatic Kourtaliotiko Gorge, and the stunning Preveli Beach, with the option to explore Kalypso Beach for a unique coastal experience.

Spili Village Exploration: Begin your journey with a visit to Spili, a traditional Cretan village known for its iconic Lion Fountain with 25 spouts of crystal-clear spring water. Wander through its quaint streets, explore local shops offering handmade crafts, and enjoy the serene mountain ambiance.

Kourtaliotiko Gorge Visit: Continue to the breathtaking Kourtaliotiko Gorge, where rugged cliffs and lush vegetation create a spectacular landscape. For the adventurous, an optional walk down (15-20 minutes) the gorge offers the chance to swim in its refreshing waters at the river’s end. Whether you choose to hike or simply enjoy the views, this natural wonder is a must-see.

Preveli Beach Adventure: Arrive at the famous Preveli Beach, known for its exotic palm forest and turquoise waters. Guests can walk down to the beach via a scenic path (15 minutes), rewarding themselves with a swim or relaxation on its unique shores. For those who prefer an alternative, an optional visit to Kalypso Beach—a hidden gem surrounded by dramatic rock formations—provides a quieter, more secluded retreat.

Optional Lunch Stop: Along the way, enjoy an optional stop for lunch at a traditional Cretan tavern, sampling fresh, local delicacies that showcase the island’s rich culinary heritage. (Note: Lunch is not included in the tour price; guests are encouraged to budget for food purchases during the tour.)

Scenic Return Journey: Conclude your day with a comfortable drive back to Chania or Rethymnon, soaking in panoramic views of Crete’s countryside and coastal beauty. This relaxing and enriching tour offers a perfect blend of exploration, leisure, and stunning natural scenery.
