Preveli Beach
Description
Embark on an unforgettable journey through the captivating landscapes and rich cultural heritage of Crete with our exclusive tour. Our adventure begins in the charming city of Rethymno, where Venetian architecture, Byzantine churches, and Ottoman influences converge to create a captivating ambiance. Wander through the narrow streets of the old town, explore historic landmarks such as the Fortezza fortress, and soak in the bustling atmosphere of the Venetian harbor.
Next, we venture to the picturesque coastal village of Plakias, nestled between rugged mountains and the azure waters of the Libyan Sea. Here, you can relax on sandy beaches, swim in crystal-clear waters, and indulge in fresh seafood at seaside tavernas. For the adventurous, opportunities abound for snorkeling, hiking, and exploring nearby hidden coves and caves.
Continuing our journey, we make our way to the quaint village of Spili, famous for its natural springs and traditional architecture. Explore the village’s charming streets lined with Venetian-style houses, and visit the central square adorned with a row of lion-headed fountains gushing cool mountain water. Don’t forget to sample local delicacies at family-run tavernas and browse handmade crafts at artisan shops.
Our final destination is the historic Monastery of Preveli, perched on a rugged cliff overlooking the Libyan Sea. Founded during the Byzantine era and renowned for its role in Crete’s resistance against Ottoman rule, the monastery boasts stunning architecture, beautiful gardens, and a rich collection of religious artifacts. Explore the monastery’s chapels, museums, and libraries, and take in panoramic views of the surrounding landscape from its lofty vantage point.
