About the Activity

What to Expect

Embark on a delightful bus tour to the stunning beaches of Crete's southern shore! Starting from the charming Gulf of Damnoni, you will board a boat for a scenic ride to the beautiful Preveli Beach. Here, you can swim in the crystal-clear waters, explore the famous palm forest, or simply relax on the sandy shores for 2.5 hours.

Afterward, return to the serene Damnoni Beach, where you have 2 hours to enjoy a leisurely lunch at a beachside taverna, swim in the pristine waters, or sunbathe on the tranquil beach. The bus then takes you to the quaint village of Plakias, perfect for a peaceful walk through its picturesque streets, shopping for local crafts, savoring a coffee at a cozy café, or just unwinding by the sea.

An extra highlight of the tour is the breathtaking journey through dramatic Gorges on the way there and back. At the end of the excursion, you will be comfortably returned to your hotel area, with wonderful memories of Crete's coastal beauty.
