Top 10 Things to Do in South Rethymno, Crete

South Rethymno, the wild heart of Crete, is a paradise for travelers looking to escape the crowds and explore a more authentic, untouched side of the island. Think hidden beaches, rugged gorges, mountain villages, and that laid-back Cretan vibe. Ready to explore?

Here are the top 10 things you just can’t miss in South Rethymno.

1. Preveli Beach & Palm Forest

This iconic beach is where a river meets the Libyan Sea, creating a lush palm forest oasis. You can hike down from Preveli Monastery or take a boat from Plakias. The mix of turquoise water, river swimming, and palm trees feels almost tropical.

2. Hike the Kourtaliotiko Gorge

A dramatic gorge with towering cliffs, waterfalls, and a river running through it. There's a path that leads you down to the church of Agios Nikolaos and some great photo spots. Bonus: the breeze that whistles through the gorge gives it its name – "Kourtala" means claps.

3. Wander Through Spili Village

Famous for its Venetian lion-head fountains, Spili is a charming mountain village with cool air, quaint cafes, and local craft shops. Perfect for a relaxed afternoon or as a base to explore the region.

4. Swim at Triopetra Beach

Wide, peaceful, and backed by dramatic rock formations, Triopetra is the kind of beach that stays in your memory. The sunsets here are something else, and it's never too crowded.

5. Explore the Village of Agia Galini

This colorful fishing village has a fun, bohemian feel. Stroll along its narrow streets, enjoy fresh seafood at a seaside taverna, or take a boat trip along the coast. It’s tourist-friendly but still retains its charm.

6. Discover the Ancient City of Phaistos

Move over Knossos! Phaistos is Crete’s second-largest Minoan palace and offers equally fascinating ruins with fewer crowds. The views over the Messara Plain are stunning, and the sense of history here is palpable.

7. Relax at Damnoni Beach

Just a few kilometers from Plakias, Damnoni has crystal-clear waters and a chilled-out vibe. It’s organized but not overdeveloped, and there are nearby coves to explore if you’re into snorkeling or secluded spots.

8. Visit the Sacred Monastery of Preveli

Not just a starting point for the beach – the monastery itself is rich in history, with beautiful sea views and a small museum. It played a key role during Crete's resistance movements, adding a powerful story to the serene setting.

9. Get Lost in Plakias

Once a hippie hideout, Plakias has evolved into a laid-back beach town perfect for travelers who want a mix of comfort and authenticity. Enjoy long beach days, explore nearby gorges like Kotsifou, or grab a cocktail by the sea.

10. Take a Drive to Matala (Yes, Just North of South Rethymno)

Okay, it’s technically in the south of Heraklion prefecture, but Matala is too close to miss. Famous for its caves carved into the cliffs and its 1960s hippie history, it’s a quirky little place with good vibes and a unique beach scene.

Bonus Tip: Local Food is a Must

Everywhere you go, don’t miss out on tasting the local cuisine – think lamb with stamnagathi (wild greens), mizithra cheese, honey-drenched desserts, and of course, a shot of raki to finish.

Final Thoughts

South Rethymno is for the explorers, the beach lovers, and those chasing something a little different. Whether you’re into hiking, history, or just soaking up the Cretan sun, this corner of the island will steal your heart.
