It is really nice beach with a lot of natural shade. It has a palm forest beside the river. Overall, very nice experience. But be ready for 15 minutes of walking down to the beach, and climbing even longer on your way to the car. The parking fee is 2€.
The Preveli beach (Crete) is in a kind of canyon, which prevents the wind from enjoying the warm rays of the sun, we went up to the peaks where the wind was very strong, and the wind is always blowing there, but if you just travel around the island, the wind very much even helps to get rid of the heat in a way.
Personnel along the Preveli beach at first impression gave a kind of suspicion that they are all from Russia and here have arrived as to have a rest and earn extra money, as spoke well well in Russian, and some had a Moscow accent, but by the way of a speech, they as well were friendly and advised where to go, what to do to the most favorable to spend rest.
The hotel is very well located, has a wide variety of restaurants, bars, cafes, and shops, and has a lot of entertainment.
