Kournas Lake, the only natural fresh water lake on Crete. Tavernas and pedalo boats for hire
Nice and a change if you do not want to go to a beach as you can also swim in the sweet water lake.
Lake Kournas is the largest natural lake in Crete and is located in an enchanting landscape, between the west slopes of the White Mountains and the fertile plane of Georgioupolis. It is located near the village Kournas, 2.5km south of the beach of Georgioupolis, 43km east of Chania and 20km west of Rethymnon. Lake Kournas and its surroundings constitute a very important ecosystem for Greece, as the wider area of Apokoronas is one of the very few areas of Crete where plenty of fresh water is stored throughout the year. Moreover, visitors could either pedal or kayak in the lake. This is an ideal choice for the afternoon, when the color of the water is beautiful and the lake is very calm. During winter and spring the water level is higher and walking around the lake is difficult because the vegetation is dense the bank. The beaches are disappearing and water overwhelms even the stairs located next to the restaurants.
