Kourtaliotiko Gorge, the perfect destination on Crete for river trekking, promises exhilarating experiences, refreshing moments, and loads of fun.
The Kourtaliotiko Gorge is quite extensive and is divided into two sections: the first stretches from its renowned springs to the midpoint, and the second extends from the midpoint to the exit at the breathtaking Preveli Beach. During this journey, participants will trek through the second section of the river, which is more complex, challenging, and at times demanding. Large boulders and small waterfalls provide an escape from the everyday routine and offer a sense of adventure. This is what makes river trekking so unique—an adventurous experience that is both enjoyable and safe!
The river concludes at the famous Preveli Beach, surrounded by a palm tree forest, one of the few in Crete. Here, visitors have the opportunity to swim at one of Greece’s most iconic beaches.
