Very well planned trip, the time at every stop was well balanced. The boat trip and Preveli beach was amazing. The guide was very knowledgeable.

Highly Recommend

Excellent tour guide. Spoke many languages and watched for every one of his quest. Excellent planning for a pleasant day for all ages. Swimming and relaxing on three different beaches, a boat ride over deep aqua clear water with such cliffs of interest. Nice restaurants with water view that know how to serve a large group coming in. But was comfortable and air conditioned well Over all you’ll come home with wonderful memories and a pleasantly tired body.

Lovely day trip to the South coast of Crete!

Published on Jul, 2024

We had a lovely day trip to Preveli beach, Damnoni beach and Plakias beach. Barbara was our guide, she was really helpful, and her explanations and insight were all very clear and interesting. The bus was spacious enough and the aircon worked OK to keep us reasonably cool. First stop was the gorge. It was very windy on the path down to the waterfall but worth the walk down the steps! Damnoni beach was a short stop for coffee, and then the boat to Preveli beach. This was really interesting as there was a fresh water river than ran into the sea (that you could take a paddle in), along with a forest you could take a stroll through out of the sun. We then caught the boat back to Damnoni beach, then the bus straight to Plakias beach. We had a nice meal there, then some time on the beach, before we caught the bus back to Rethymno. A great day out seeing the South of the island.

Great day trip, very well...
