Extremely beautiful landscape and not particularly difficult except for the descent and ascent on the beach. There is an opportunity to cool off on the beach.

The Palm Beach of Preveli (Greek Φοινικόδασος της Πρέβελης Finikodasos tis Prevelis) is a sandy beach lined with palm trees on the south coast of the Greek Mediterranean island of Crete. It is located in the municipality of Agios Vasilios of the regional unit of Rethymno, not far from the monastery of Moni Preveli, whose name has come down to it.
Behind the beach, the Megalopotamos, a mountain stream also called Kourtaliotis, coming from the Kouroupa mountains, forms the small pond or lake of Preveli (Λίμνη Πρέβελη Limni Preveli), which stretches into the gorge behind it. As on the beach of Vai in eastern Crete, the Cretan date palm (Phoenix theophrasti) forms a natural palm grove in this gorge.
