What travellers are saying
- Shanna vTilburg, The Netherlands5 contributionsWe were there around 10 in the morning and it was already quite busy. Luckily there's enough parking space a few minutes up ahead.
The trip was doable for someone unfit like me. The route is mostly stone stairs with some loose rocks and uneven steps.
The trip is most definitely worth it. The water is soo cold, but when I got used to it I didn't want to get out! Some people got scared of the cold water and didn't go in the waterfall. Please don't let the cold scare you off, and just go in the water one step at a time. It'll be worth it!
After we went into the waterfall twice we chilled on some big rocks with our toes in the water and enjoyed the views and sounds of the water.Written 3 September 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Quite deep straight away, starts with pebbles and continues into sand.
Impossible to park , very small parking lot.
Drive is a bit scary, winding narrow roads.
Woman who runs Garden Tavern and fancy beach loungers is very unfriendly. She charges €25 for a set of beds and an umbrella. We waited in the tavern for 45 mins and no one even approached us.
Go upstairs to the other tavern, we were welcomed straight away and the food was lovely.Written 18 August 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

A bit calmer and less touristy than many Crete beaches, likely due to it's more remote location, we would definitely recommend making the drive and spending a beautiful day!Written 12 June 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Satu7 contributionsEasily the most amazing experience of my life!
Walk down to the waterfall was not easy. Really windy!
Water is freezing and it’s not easy to swim in deep water and wind blowing the water to mouth and eyes.
But worth it ♥️Written 1 August 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The beach is well organized, there are clean toilets, a tap to clean your feet and showers with hot water. The sand is beautiful and coarse-grained without dust. The bottom of the sea safe and clean. On the sides marble rocks with a tiny cave. Beautiful place. Safe access and free parking. Nudist-friendly beach.Written 13 July 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Ewelina G12 contributionsI really like Plakias, it is my 2nd time im here. Its lovely area BUT you have to be aware of 2 things: often there is extemerly windy and sand hit your body and it hurts and water in the sea is cold because of the river running to the sea so I need few minutes to go to the water.Written 16 August 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Goolia2772Milton Keynes, UK220 contributionsWe loved this beach and visited 3 times while staying in the area. If you get to the beach for 10am it is quiet and you can get parked no problem. Don't arrive after mid-day as by then there are cars everywhere! 2 sunbeds and umbrella was €7 for the day. You can order drinks/food from the guy on the beach and they get brought to your sunbed. Lots of locals seems to go there and it can get very busy.Written 9 July 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Leigh M4 contributionsGreat place to visit the beach. Sand and the water were beautiful.
Rodakino was equally as good. Great vibes and music with good quality food options. In fact my Greek salad was the best I had there all holiday.Written 5 September 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Angela KPreston, UK71 contributionsWe have taken a boat trip from plakias harbour to preveli palm beach, cost adults 15 E, children under 12 years, 8 E.
Plenty of room on the boat opposed to other trips we have taken where you are hemmed in, pleasant trip across the harbour stopped at Damnoni beach for a pick up and other location(cannot remember where)
Lovely views during the 20 minute jiurney we were given fresh juice whilst on board, you have 3 ootion times for returning, we only stayed at Preveli for a couple of hours as the beach gets crowded .
Enough time to explore the palm forest, its visually stunning, we all had the chance to swim in the crystal clear freshwater that came from the waterfall at the top of the mountain., peaceful vistas in the forest, a truly magical experience.
The main preveli beach isnt pretty in my opinion its overcrowded and dirty, green stagnent water overflow from the forest is one of the 1st things you see, there is a cafe which wouldnt pass UK hygeine tests selling overpriced drinks and snacks(its the only venue so they can charge what they like) The toilet is a hut you would expect to see in a third world country, its also unisex,,, such a shame the Greek government havent invested in upgrading this beautiful place,, defineatly a must visit destination thevpalm forest is stunning and is wonderful to explore, our son loved his adventure. You can also climb down the mountain to Preveli, we didnt want to do this in the heat, the boat trip was lovely, Finkis boats,, from Plakias harbour you can buy tickets on the boat or from Smirnas bar, boats go out every hour from about 10am, the last boat returns from Preveli around 5.30pm.Written 23 August 2018This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

It’s a cool spot with the turquoise waters and surrounding cliffs. We spent a few hours here and enjoyed our time.Written 20 September 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
