Practical information

The beautiful Kourtaliotiko Gorge is a wild and fascinating destination where you can admire Crete's unique geological formations, magnificent waterfalls, and pristine nature. It begins south of the village of Koxare and heads south, passing through a plain and continuing with the Preveli small gorge before arriving at the magnificent Preveli beach.

Course of events

We will provide you with neoprene suits once we arrive above the gorge because the river's water is a little cold - but perfect for summer days! Hiking poles and helmets are also provided. We begin the adventure immediately after a briefing on the route we will take!

The first section includes a breathtaking view of the magnificent waterfall! The flow never stops, and the amount of water falling from the mountains is simply incredible. A small and safe jump will cool you down, and the location is ideal for some Instagram photos!

We continue down the river, splashing into natural pools and having fun along the banks. The plane trees around us provide the perfect backdrop - You will enjoy being away from the crowds.

We will arrive at an olive grove around 15

We will arrive at an olive grove around 15.00pm, where we will exit. We will return to our cars once you have changed your wet clothes. Optional lunch or a cold beer stop nearby!
