River trekking Literally is the hiking through the riverbed so, that means games and dives in the water and one hidden paradise on the deeps of the river.

The Kourtaliotiko gorge is very long and consist of two parts, the first part from its famous springs until the middle and the second part from the middle of the gorge until the exit. On that trip we will hike through the second part of the river which is trickier, challenging and in some parts demanding. Big boulders and small waterfalls help you to escape from your daily routine and gives you a sense of adventure. This is what it makes the river trekking unique, the adventure with funny and safe way!

The river ends in the famous beach of Preveli with the palm trees forest, one of the few in Crete where you will have the chance to swim in one of the most recognizable beaches of Greece. Then, through a beautiful trail with great views to the surroundings, we return by hiking to the starting point.

What To Expect

River trekking is an easy and fun activity that does not require technical equipment. In essence river trekking is going through a river, usually inside a canyon, and it is enjoyable even for families or small groups.

Crete is a small paradise for those who wish to try this activity, because of the numerous canyons and the mountainous landscape. Ιn Alternative Crete we suggest the Kourtaliotis Gorge, Patsos Gorge and Mesa (Platys) Gorge. Our expedition usually takes 1,5 – 3 hours to complete, and sometimes our trek ends in splendid beaches like Preveli beach for example.

Through river trekking you have the opportunity to see and admire exotic sites that will surprise you , like the Palm of theophrastus (Phoenix theophrast) or small waterfalls or unique forms of rocks.

Take your water shoes put your swimsuit and enjoy the water!
