The Coolest Hiking Tour of Crete (Kourtaliotis)

Find Tranquility Behind the Waterfalls at this Hidden Spring.

Discover an unspoiled area of lush landscapes, unrivalled beauty and cascading waterfalls in the tucked away Gorge of Kourtaliotis river.  Our expert guide will take you on a small hike down an unassuming rocky path and into one of mother nature’s great wonders.

Chill out at the river, swim under the waterfalls and find serenity within this green oasis. Take your shoes off and let your feet sink into the moss, pamper your skin with the mineral-rich mud and cool off in the glacial waters.  In the middle of the gorge take a breath and regenerate with a glamping-esque style lunch with fresh farm-to-table ingredients in your salad along with the greek favorite, souvlaki.

Right after lunch, time to burn the calories…one hour hiking down by the river to the world famous Preveli beach with the numerous Palm trees and the amazing clear waters of the Libyan sea. Have a juice and relax under the sun, take a dive and clear your mind in this breathtaking environment, before the way back.

What a day..!!!
