Walk through the Agios Antonios Gorge and a drive with the minivan up to the village of Karines at an altitude of 900 meters, where we will admire the wonderful view of Crete’s highest mountains, Psiloritis and Lefka Ori, as well as the north and south seas. Continue through the dramatic Kourtaliotis Gorge and stop for photos. Head to the famous Preveli Beach and explore the stunning palm forest and river. Continue along Crete’s southern coastline, revealing wild sandy beaches and hidden coves. Visit Triopetra, the famous beach known to locals for its three iconic rocks in the sea. Swim and feel the magical energy of this place. On the way back, stop at Spili, your guide’s village, famous for its fresh spring water at a constant 13°C.
