Experience Crete's only freshwater lake and charming beachside village. Paddle across the scenic lake surrounded by mountains, then relax at the riverside beach where Eucalyptus Avenue meets the sea—natural serenity meets coastal charm.
Your Daytrip driver transports you from Rethymno to Lake Kournas and Georgioupoli, managing routes while you enjoy lake activities and beach relaxation.
Discover Crete's only natural freshwater lake, nestled in a bowl surrounded by White Mountains. Rent pedal boats or kayaks to explore the scenic lake fringed by reeds where turtles, eels, and waterbirds thrive. The lake's striking blue-green color changes with light and season, creating beautiful photography opportunities. Walk the perimeter path through olive groves and fields while enjoying mountain views. Swim from the small beach, though the lake water remains cool year-round. Lakeside tavernas serve fresh fish, Cretan specialties, and cold drinks with peaceful water views. The serene atmosphere and natural beauty provide a refreshing escape from coastal crowds and summer heat. Spring brings maximum water levels and wildflowers, while autumn offers pleasant temperatures. The combination of a unique ecosystem, scenic beauty, and peaceful atmosphere creates a perfect nature destination.
