Places near Drimiskos bays
The beautiful beach of Gialopotamos is formed west of a small hill, on which a few small houses and apartments for renting are built. The beach is sandy and has deep cool waters. The rocks lying around it make it ideal for snorkeling. It is unorganized, appropriate for isolation and for a very quiet holiday.
Thirty two kilometers out of Rethimnon is located the beach Preveli. An extraordinary beautifull sand beach that a palm trees forrest is surround it and at the end of the beach a lagoon is forming something that makes the area magical.
You can discover enought naturalist treasurs also and encredibles watterfalls that exists in the area and swiming either in the saltiness or at sweetness watters of the lagoon.
An exotic landscape of a few kilometers is the Preveli palmgrove, which is full of palm trees in both sides of the river.
After a big fire at 2010 a big amount of the forest was destroyed. After a few months though the forest was reborn through its ashes.
Essentially the gorge starts from the village and goes initially southwestern for 3,5km, continues then south to meet the Libyan Sea at Drimiskianos beach, a few hundred meters east of the famous beach of Preveli.
It is extremely difficult whoever tries to cross over because there are not any sings and crossing requires good physical condition and the total length of Drimiskos gorge exceeds 5km.
We recommend that you start walking the gorge about the middle to Drimiskianos beach, where the degree of difficulty is low. The surrounding mountains and generally the region have little vegetation, but in the canyon the hiker enjoys the green and rugged landscape.
The end of the Preveli gorge is an unforgettable experience. The river that runs down the gorge, ends in the sea. Just follow the river to the beautiful Libyan sea.
The beach is incredibly beautiful. There are a few taverns to buy some refreshments. It is nice to walk up stream, but then from above. You climb uphill and walk as a matter of fact alongside the edge
