~ Join us on a unique experience that combines the refreshing natural beauty of the Crete with the wild charm of Kourtaliotis Waterfalls ~
The Kourtaliotiko Gorge, in the south of the Rethymno regional unit, is one of the most impressive natural attractions in Crete. It starts from the village of Koxare and extends for about 3 kilometers, ending at the exotic Preveli beach, famous for the palm forest of Theophrastus. The Kourtaliotis River runs through the gorge, forming small waterfalls and springs.
Its name comes from the distinctive sound created by the strong wind as it passes through its caves, which resembles kourtala, or clapping. The area has exceptional biological and ecological value, as it is a significant refuge for many species of birds of prey, such as the lammergeier, vultures, and the golden eagle. Along the route, visitors can admire impressive rocks and rich vegetation.
Crossing the gorge, by hiking or swimming in some places, offers a unique experience that combines wild nature with the tranquility of Preveli beach.
