Boat to Preveli Palm Forest, swims at Damnioni and Kourtaliotis Springs on a guided day trip from Heraklion with pickup and transfers.
“Compared to some of the tours available, this one appeared to be good value for money. The guide was extremely knowledgeable, switching between three languages seamlessly. It is important to listen to her tips as she lets you know how to find the best spots. We packed a lunch and ate it in the gorge, which meant we had more time to swim and enjoy the water. The south is very different from the north side of the island and worth exploring.”
A guided day trip from Heraklion to Preveli Beach and the Palm Forest, with 4 hours by the river and sea, plus gorge views.
“The “9 hours” duration is extremely misleading. Had we have known it would take 4 hours to complete a 2 hour journey, we would have hired a car instead. We were picked up at 8:15 and spent 2 hours picking up other people before we made our way to the beach and arrived at 12:00Although hotel pickup was offered, we were the only people that had to walk 10 minutes to our pickup location, whereas they were happy driving down short, narrow roads to pick up other guests. Our bus also broke down, and in the 4 hours we had to explore the beach they couldn’t arrange a replacement. Once…”
Guided Crete day trip from Rethymno to Preveli Palm Beach by boat and Kourtaliotiko Gorge stops, with time for swimming.
“In general a nice trip However, there should be a warning that visiting the gorge is not suitable for many people. Also the visit of Plakias was an unnecessary part of the trip. My impression that it is there only to make participants go to a certain tavern.”

“What an amazing experience! To be honest (said the same to George) I was a bit sceptic, as he had only 5-star reviews so far (could be a bot, you never know). But it was definitely worth 5 stars! He is such a funny and considerate person. It felt more like a fun hike with a friend, frankly speaking. He has taught us so much about Crete, the vegetation that we saw during the hike and a bit of history. He met our expectations and went beyond! Thank you for our Special Forces training ;) Only good vibes!”

“This was a fabulous day out. Our tour guide Anastasia was fantastic, really friendly and informative, and made me feel really included in the group as a solo traveller. I only wish I could go on further tours with her as a guide! This tour included an hour in Spili, a beautiful mountain village, then time in Preveli beach which is truly the most beautiful beach I have ever seen, followed finally by time in Damnoni beach. There was plenty of time to enjoy each place and I never felt like I needed to rush anything. I would highly recommend this tour, including to other solo travellers. Note that for…”
