Nice little hike along the river and the palm trees, be careful when hiking as the palm trees have very sharp thorns. On some days it can be crowded as it is very popular for swimming and hiking.

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.

Palm Beach by preveli.
In a heavenly location, I like it much better than the one in Vai. Highly recommended for a short hike along the river. In between, the big "kids" can play Tarzan and jump into the water.
