About This Tour
This private escape blends Crete’s wild beauty with refined comfort. Unlike typical group tours, it offers a fully customizable journey through the island’s unspoiled south—featuring the dramatic cliffs and secret waterfall of Kourtaliotiko Gorge, followed by the serene palm-lined river and beach of Preveli. With a knowledgeable local driver/host, luxury transport, and flexible timing, you’ll explore at your own pace, avoid crowds, and uncover natural wonders most travelers miss. Optional local taverna dining adds an authentic, flavorful touch.
