You can also visit the beaches of Plakias, Souda or Preveli with its unique palm forest. Every beach has its own charm. You can go by car, all beaches are within about 15 minutes, or you can take a boat from Plakias to Amoudi or Preveli. Hiking to Preveli Beach is also possible. Park your car near the 18th century Venetian bridge and follow the path past ancient olive trees through the mountains and along the river. The Moni Preveli monastery is also worth a visit. It is still inhabited by three monks and is built around a natural spring with many steps and height differences. If you would like more tips about the area, feel free to ask us.
