Embark on an captivating excursion to the south side of Crete and explore the famous palm beach of Preveli. The palm beach of Preveli is a place you should definitely visit while you are visiting western Crete (Rethymno and Chania). The local legend says that the mythological king Odysseus stopped in Preveli on the way to his homeland, Ithaka. What makes Preveli beach so famous is the palm forest surrounding the river, which comes from a gorge and ends up in the sea. The exotic beauty of nature attracted in the 60s and 70s hippies from around the globe who used to live here and make huts under the palm trees. Due to the sensitivity of nature around Preveli Beach, the area is protected by the Natura 2000, and it is a natural reserve.
