Resplan
Kourtaliotiko Gorge är ett fantastiskt naturunderverk på Kreta, känt för sina dramatiska klippor, frodig vegetation och hisnande vattenfall. När du vandrar genom ravinen kommer du att uppleva vindbruset som ekar mellan de höga klipporna, vilket ger området dess namn – ”Kourtaliotiko”, som betyder klapprande ljud. Med sin oförstörda skönhet och rika djurliv är det ett måste för både naturälskare och äventyrssökande. # Tänk på att nedstigningen från utsiktsplatsen till vattenfallet tar cirka 25 minuter, med en lika tidsinställd uppstigning tillbaka upp, vilket gör det till en givande och uppslukande upplevelse #
Preveli Palm Forest är en dold pärla på Kreta södra kust, där en flod flyter genom en frodig lund av sällsynta inhemska palmer, möter det kristallklara vattnet i Libyska havet. Omgiven av oländiga klippor och inramad av en orörd strand, erbjuder denna exotiska oas en unik blandning av naturlig skönhet och lugn, vilket gör det till en perfekt tillflyktsort för naturälskare och upptäcktsresande.
Preveli Beach är ett fantastiskt paradis där en sötvattenflod möter det turkosa vattnet i Libyska havet. Inbäddat under höga klippor och kantad av den berömda Preveli Palm Forest, erbjuder stranden en unik blandning av exotisk skönhet och karga landskap. Dess kristallklara vatten, gyllene sand och frodiga omgivningar gör det till ett måste för dem som söker lugn och naturlig charm. #Tänk på att nedstigningen från parkeringsplatsen till stranden tar ca 12 minuter, med en lika tidsinställd uppstigning tillbaka upp#
Kalypso Beach är en avskild pärla på Kreta södra kust, gömd mellan dramatiska klippor och kristallklart vatten. Stranden är känd för sina naturliga klippformationer och djupblå havet och erbjuder en unik, lugn atmosfär som är perfekt för bad, snorkling och avkoppling. Med sina dolda vikar och sin oländiga skönhet är Kalypso Beach en idealisk tillflyktsort för dem som söker lugn och äventyr i en av Kreta mest pittoreska miljöer.
Vi kringgår turistmassorna för att besöka familjeägda tavernor i området Plakias. Njut av "från gård till bord" smaker som vedeldat kött, färska skaldjur eller lokala pajer, tillsammans med en fantastisk utsikt över Libyska havet.

We had an outstanding tour with George Dermitzakis as our guide. His van was comfortable, clean and quiet. The trip to the gorge was long, and George filled this time with discussion of Crete’s history, customs and everyday life. We stopped at a small cafe for coffee and a snack of Pasteli. At the gorge, we descended down steep steps to the river below. To see the waterfalls, we had to swim about 50m in the frigid river, but the view was worth it! George watched our belongings during this excursion. For our next stop, we chose Preveli Beach with its palm tree forest, and the river from the gorge traverses the beach. Such beautiful cliffs and landscape. For a lunch of authentic and traditional Cretan foods, George took us to Taverna Dionysus in the mountain village of Myrthios. We were treated to a visit to the kitchen to see the daily specials which, of course, we had to order. George returned us within steps of our apartment in the heart of Heraklion. What an outstanding day, and what an outstanding tour guide!
"Fantastic" is the best word to describe this tour. George was very professional throughout the experience, from the pickup to returning us back to our apartment. His van was very comfortable, too. The drive to the gorge was long, and George filled the time with commentary about the landscape and culture. He is quite informed about the history and, despite our visiting the archeological museum earlier in the week, was able to provide an outstanding summary of the island's history over the past 7000+ years. George gave the occasional "quiz" to see if we were paying attention. We stopped for coffee at a small cafe -- nice, quiet location and excellent coffee. George also treated us to sesame and honey snack bars (Pasteli). As recommended, we prepurchased our entry tickets to the gorge -- this made entry seamless and quick, although there were no other people waiting when we arrived. We followed the steep steps (be forewarned as you'll need to climb back up later) down into the gorge. At the bottom, the only way to see the waterfalls is to swim in the very cold spring water, about 50m. Did I mention the water was very cold?! We took advantage of the waterproof bags for our mobile phones, and this allowed us to take some photos of the waterfalls. George watched our belongings during this time. We toweled off, then climbed back out of the gorge. Although not essential, some people wore wetsuits to reduce the chilling effects of the cold water. For our next stop we chose to stop at Preveli Beach and palm tree forest. You need to climb more steps up and over a hill to get to the beach (about 15 minutes), and it was worth it. The river from the gorge flows across the beach, and there is plenty of shade under the trees. After about an hour of wading in the river and the sea, we headed back to the meet up point. On our return trip to Heraklion, we stopped at Taverna Dionyssos in the mountain village of Myrthios for lunch. We were treated to a preview in the kitchen of the daily specials which, of course, we had to order. Lunch was fantastic! We were staying in the heart of Heraklion and George delivered us almost to our front door, saving us a 15 minute walk from our original pickup location. Later that evening, George sent a WhatsApp message with a summary of our day. What an unexpected and welcome surprise! We absolutely and highly recommend George as a guide, and this tour was outstanding.
George is a very knowledgeable, professional and attentive guide. We took a tour of the Kourtaliotiko Gorge after being picked up at our Hotel followed by a visit to the beautiful Kalypso beach and finished with a beautiful late lunch at Taverna Dionyssos. We would book a tour with George again, from planning to the day of the excursion communication was great.

The tour is a great way to see most of the island. We traveled along the beautiful coast line and then through some valley areas to reach the gorge. We then hiked down to waterfall. We recommend that you bring water shoes as you walk over rock to get to first waterfall. Also be prepared for the water temperature, as it similar to the Mediterranean Sea. After returning from waterfalls, we had a great traditional Greek lunch at a family restaurant. We looked over the sea from high up on hill, an amazing view. Good day for all
Our tour guide Dimitris was AMAZING! Courteous, informative, fun, adaptable since the gorge was actually closed that day unbeknownst to him. The beaches were gorgeous and the taverna for lunch was delicious authentic small village Greek food! We loved learning of the Crete culture from Dimitris, a must do for everyone!!
Dear Kathy, Thank you very much for taking the time to share your experience and for your kind words about Dimitris. We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed the beaches, the traditional village lunch, and the cultural experience of the day. On the day of your tour, the Kourtaliotiko Gorge was unexpectedly closed by the local authorities due to rare and unforeseen conditions. This is a highly unusual occurrence that happens only in very limited situations. In response, our team professionally adjusted the itinerary on the spot to ensure the day continued smoothly. Instead of the gorge, we provided a dual-beach experience at both Preveli Beach and Kalypso Beach, along with extended tour time at the coastal stops so the experience remained relaxed, unhurried, and complete. It was a pleasure hosting you, and we truly appreciate you choosing to explore Crete with us.
Absolutely our favorite day on Crete. Dimitri was a superb guide who took care of our every need. The taverna lunch was beyond delicious! The entire day exceeded my expectations.
We very much enjoyed our tour with George around Crete visiting the Kourtaliotiko Gorge and Preveli Beach. George was a very informative and caring host who shared a great deal of knowledge about Crete with us. He was easy to communicate with before our trip to arrange meeting time and location and answered all our questions. George was accommodating, letting us decide how long to spend in each location and his van was very comfortable for the drive. Our highlight of the day was swimming at Preveli Beach - a gorgeous beach with great views, followed by a delicious lunch at Taverna Dionyssos. The staff were friendly and showed us the kitchen and meals available. The food was excellent, view stunning - the best meal we’ve had in Greece so far! A great way to see the south side of the island.
My husband and I booked this private excursion during our honeymoon in Crete, and it ended up being one of our favorite days of the entire trip. From the moment we were picked up at Seaside Resort in Agia Pelagia, everything felt effortless and thoughtfully planned. George communicated every detail clearly ahead of time, and Dimitris made the day feel relaxed, personal, and unforgettable. Driving across Crete gave us such a unique perspective of the island beyond the resorts. We loved hearing about the history, traditions, and local life while taking in the incredible scenery. Our stop in Armenoi was peaceful and authentic—we enjoyed coffee beneath the beautiful plane trees and got to experience a quieter side of Crete. Kourtaliotiko Gorge was absolutely breathtaking. The dramatic cliffs and landscapes looked unreal and became one of our favorite photo spots of the trip. Preveli Beach completely exceeded our expectations. Swimming in the crystal-clear water surrounded by palm trees and seeing the river meet the sea felt like something out of a postcard. We had plenty of time to relax and enjoy the area without feeling rushed. Lunch at Taverna Dionyssos was the perfect ending to the day. The views over the Libyan Sea were unforgettable, and sharing local food together there made for such a special honeymoon memory. If you’re visiting Crete and want to experience nature, authentic villages, incredible views, and a more personal side of the island, we highly recommend this tour. Thank you, George and Dimitris, for helping create memories we’ll always remember.
Our experience was incredible amd George made ir even better. He shared so much of his knowledge with us and went out of his way to enure that we had a terrific time. Thanks to our new friend Geoorge!
