Drymiskiano Ammoudi Beach

About

The westernmost of a row of small coves near Preveli, much quieter than Preveli itself.

Drymiskiano Ammoudi is part of a 3 km chain of small coves, each with its own beach. Fine golden sand and clear water, ideal if you want to avoid the crowds at Preveli.

It's much quieter than Preveli itself, and the setting is beautiful. There are a few tavernas nearby.

Agios Vasileios is the south coast of Rethymno, a land of gorges, palm trees and beautiful beaches on the Libyan Sea. Plakias and Agia Galini are the main villages, and between them lie Preveli with its palm forest, Damnoni, Triopetra and Agios Pavlos with its sand dunes. Inland, Spili with its lion fountain and the Kourtaliotiko and Kotsifou gorges are worth a stop. The south coast is often calmer when the north wind blows, and the sea is warm well into autumn.

Getting there

About 45 minutes from Rethymno, near Preveli.
