    Lake Kournas

    Next, we escape to the tranquility of Lake Kournas, the only natural freshwater lake on the island. Surrounded by gentle hills and lush greenery, its turquoise waters reflect the Cretan sky in a breathtaking panorama. It is a peaceful habitat where you can spot birds and turtles, walk along the shore, or even rent a pedal boat to explore the calm waters. It’s the perfect spot to enjoy a local treat at a lakeside tavern and soak in the natural landscape.
