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.

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.
