The Kourtaliotis Gorge, also known as Kourtaliotiko, is renowned for its imposing rocky slopes that reach heights of up to 600 meters and contain numerous caves. As strong winds pass through the hollows in the rocks, they create a characteristic whistling sound, known as "kurtala" or rattles, which is the origin of the gorge's name according to tradition. The Kourtaliotis River runs through the gorge and flows into Preveli Beach. An impressive waterfall forms beneath the sources of the gorge, making it a notable feature worth mentioning.
