Preveli Strand og Plakias Heldagstur fra Rethymno

Beach was beautiful but SUPER windy and snack shack is under repair which we did. It know. Nothing to do in the beach so keep that in mind if you have kids. Wind whipped sand at us regularly and blew everything away. Our guide Demetrius was amazing! So kind and accommodating . Loved him!

It was a great tour, first we went to a waterfall, then we took a boat to a beach, and then another one. We had plenty of time and had a good swim. The tour guide and the driver were very nice and funny

We took a trip to Preveli, and I think I can say it was disastrous. Once all the passengers were picked up, we headed towards the gorges and learned that they might be closed. This turned out to be the case. We therefore had to wait for the boat at our other stop, Damnoni, for 1 hour with nothing to do since all the restaurants were closed and we did not have enough time to swim. To finally learn that the boat could not take us to Preveli due to the waves. For a trip called "Preveli," it seemed unimaginable not to be able to go there. The passengers then became angry and were understandably disappointed. The group split into two: those who wanted to return and those who wished to continue. The agency did not want to separate the group, but after long discussions and several votes, we managed to reach an agreement for those wanting to continue the trip to be left at Damnoni and for the other passengers to be dropped off at their hotel. Given that it was already 11 AM and we had gotten up at 6 AM for this trip, we chose to stay. But in any case, we had to either fight for a refund or to continue the trip, which was exhausting. (The price of the boat, to be paid in cash, was indeed refunded to us.) We also learned, once the bus returned to pick us up, that they had forgotten to drop off some passengers, who therefore spent an additional 2 hours on the bus. We also did not understand why it was not possible to drop off those wishing to reach Preveli on foot at the monastery. The guide explained that the path was too difficult for elderly people and children, which I understand. But given that the groups had already been separated, he could have adapted. I understand that the agency and the guide are not responsible for the weather conditions. However, it is up to them to manage unforeseen events, anticipate solutions, and propose alternatives. The organization was really not optimal. It is also the agency's duty to inform vacationers in advance when it knows that weather conditions may prevent the excursion. This caused us to lose an entire day for nothing. In short, paying the price of the excursion just to be transported by bus from one beach to another is clearly not worth it. Fortunately, we were able to see the Kourtaliotiko waterfall in the afternoon, but once again, I surely would not have seen it without the guide. He just dropped us off in front of the site without indicating the direction or how to get to the waterfall. Without the directions from another vacationer returning from there, we would not have seen it. Moreover, unlike the other excursions we took, he did not provide any commentary on the sites or Crete. It was our last day in Crete, which left a bitter taste at the end of our trip.

Beautiful Preveli palm beach. Romantic beach and a challenge of rock staircase. Nice trip in the gorge. On the beach also a bar for refreshments or lunch

Beautiful discovery of surprising landscapes, swimming fresh water (cold) or sea (warm) day nature well organized, nice guide.

I really enjoyed Preveli and the kourtaliatiko gorge. Damnoni was more of a stop for a meal and where we got the boat, I didn't have time to swim there. Plakias was fine but felt like it was mostly for the sake of having us stop at a touristy restaurant they probably have some deal with.

Got a time and place for pickup at the booking, we were there well before we were supposed to be picked up. But then they apparently sent a new time and place for pickup the day before, but that information never came to us. Very reluctant to help with rebooking for a new day or getting a refund. They just close the case very quickly. Will never book through you again.

The stops and the guide were very interesting and pleasant. Many beautiful places visited and everything was well arranged. Only it was very windy with us in the Gorge, which made the feeling of security a bit less. However, no one can do much about this.. Perhaps it is better to be informed about the clothing. For the Gorge, wear a light sweater and sturdy shoes, while you'll be better off with swimming gear and slippers for the rest of the day.

With the shuttle bus to Plakias, there we visited the falls .By climbing a mountain for 20 minutes you will reach the falls , beautiful views (not suitable if you have difficulty walking) Then on to Prevelie beach. beautiful palm trees forest , where you can take beautiful pictures , looks like you are walking in the jungle 📸. You can walk through the water surrounded by palm trees. The beach (in August) is very busy) . Nice tavern where you can eat and drink.

Unique place. You feel like in another country. You must see it to understand how beautiful it is. After refreshing in sea take a walk in palm forest near the river. Go as far as you can, tere are great places to see and take pictures. Recomend good shoes because you will need to walk to the beach along a rocky path.
