Our first destination will be Ammoudi.
Ammoudi is a beach complex located 4km east of Plakias , where you will have about 2 hours to relax and enjoy the sun. Its characteristic green slippery rock in the middle, is what makes it so special. The beach is slightly organized, with umbrellas, sunbeds and some taverns nearby. Ammoudi has thick white sand and rocky seabed, ideal for diving and snorkeling, and the waters have a bright green color. Next to the beach there are many tamarisk trees, under which you can find shade and camp. From there on a walking distance (~200m) you can find Klisidi and Ammoudaki (small ammoudi) two small yet gorgeous beaches with crystal-clear blue waters.
Next, we move to Preveli beach.
Beach of Preveli, also known as Lake Preveli or Phoenix, is located at the exit of the imposing Kourtaliotis gorge, where the Grand River (Megalos Potamos) flows.
It is undeniably the most famous beach in south Crete, accepting thousands of visitors every summer.
The area has nothing to envy from tropical seas, with palm trees reflected in the calm waters of the “Lake”.
Protagonists in our setting are the bodies of the mountains, the water, the canyon and at its exit an oasis, an exotic forest with Theophrastus palm trees.
You can walk along the river, under the palm trees and start ascending in the beautiful canyon and have the opportunity to swim in the cold ponds formed in the gorge.
Preveli is a protected beach (Natura 2000), therefor it is not well organized with umbrellas and sunbeds, but you can relax and enjoy the diamond waters of the Libyan Sea and the shade of the trees, in total harmony with the environment around you.
There is one tavern on one side of the beach where you can have a refreshment or a snack.
After 2 hours the van will wait you at the drop-off point in Preveli beach to take you back in Plakias, filled with joy and the most beutiful pictures of the most famous destinations in South Crete and ready for your next advanture with us!
