Itinerary description

A walk along the stream to the viewpoint of Preveli beach.

We got lost on our way. To find the right way we were crossing the stream twice (km 0.4, km 1.5), had to jump over a fence (km 0.6) and to climb over rocks (km 1.6). We also passed two gates for animals (km 1, km 2.1). But thanks to this we had a nice walk through the olives groove and river bushes.

At the end you walk very close to the gorge (just a meter or so from the precipice: better don't go there with children), but you have spectacular views of the valley, beach and sea.

From the last viewpoint (next to the Preveli beach car parking) you can continue directly down to the Preveli beach.
