Our day is the perfect way to explore the southern part of Crete with mountains and gorges to beautiful palm beaches. Our journey starts as we head towards the wilderness and high altitudes where you have a helicopter view of one of the magnificent gorges and a chance to see the vultures, which are now an endangered species.

We pass through small traditional villages full of character and interest where we make a stop to give you the opportunity to taste different local products. After a short drive on you get the possibility to take photos of the beautiful scenery at the Potamon Dam. From here we make the journey to Kourtaliotiko Gorge with its imposing rock faces and interesting features.

Having spent the morning getting dusty and dirty, a swim at Preveli Beach will be very welcomed!!! (Please be aware that walking shoes are needed to reach the beach)

Preveli is one of the most beautiful beaches on the island. Its tall palm trees and crystal clear water were even chosen to advertise Bacardi on television it is the only beach where guests can swim in cold mountain water or ocean water in the same place. Working up an appetite, walking back from the beach we stop for a traditional Cretan meal with unlimited wine.

After lunch, we start the climb back up into the mountains for more dramatic scenery and everyone will be impressed with the village of Spili. This is most famous for its spring water, over 50 lion head fountains have cold mountain water running all year round.

This is a day full of many surprises. The excitement is second to none!!! You certainly won’t forget your fun day out with SAFARICLUB !!!
