It is certainly the most famous beach in south Crete!
During the 60s and 70s, it was a favorite destination for the hippies. On the banks of the Grand River there is a large colony of
Theophrastus palm trees, which give the region a sense of a tropical landscape. The river, forming a small lake, 500m long, before emptying into the sea, has water all year round. You can walk along the river, under the shade of palm trees and other trees, and start ascending in the beautiful canyon.
At the exit of the river, a sandy beach with pebbles and sand is formed, with sea water being very cool due to the river. In the eastern part of the beach, there is a beautiful rock reminding of a heart. The beach is not well organized because the area is protected, without
any umbrellas.
Please note that Rubbish disposal and taking seashells from the Beach is strictly prohibited

Crete. Inside, the Kourtaliotis River flows, crossing its 2.5 km in length and its
towering slopes that reach 600 meters in height.
The gorge begins from the village of Koxare in the prefecture of Rethymno and
reaches the lake of Preveli. Stone steps begin from the Kokaere - Asomatous
road and reach the interior of the gorge, at the church of Agios Nikolaos and
the springs of Kourtaliotis.
