It was such a pleasure to use sunsuds activity to visit the kourtaliotiko gorge. Giorgos was punctual at his arrival professional and helpful during the whole trip. He made this day trip a real pleasure personalised to our schedule and tastes!

An absolute must-do adventure!

Published on Oct, 2024

From the moment we started communicating with SunSud Tours, we knew we had made the right choice. The Preveli Beach option suited us perfectly and exceeded all our expectations! Our driver and guide, George, began the day with a scenic drive through charming villages, sharing fascinating stories about Crete’s history. Our first stop at Kourtaliotiko Gorge was breathtaking; we hiked down to a magical waterfall for a refreshing swim, setting the tone for an adventurous day. Preveli Beach was unforgettable, with its unique blend of Palm forest, river and sea. Lunch in Plakias was delicious, and George handled every detail—towels, sunscreen, even a beach umbrella—so we could simply relax and enjoy ourselves. This tour to the South of Crete is a must for anyone seeking the perfect blend of adventure, breathtaking scenery, and authentic local culture!
