Situated in a valley surrounded by dramatic mountains, Lake Kournas offers a picturesque alternative to Crete’s many beaches. It’s the only freshwater lake on the island, and its warm, turquoise, spring-fed waters reflect the rocky peaks above like a mirror. Summertime visitors come to swim, boat, or just loll on the beach.

Full Day Guided Eco and Nature Tour in Crete

Full Day Guided Eco and Nature Tour in Crete

On this trip we want to show you a bit of everything: traditional villages, churches, mountains, gorges and beaches. The first stop is at Kournas, the only fresh water lake on Crete. A drive through the country side takes us to the village Argyroupoli where a short round walk will take you through various periods of Cretan history to end up in the present again while enjoying a coffee or a juice. During the drive that follows you will notice changes in the scenery as we are approaching the south coast. Just before we catch the first glimpse of the Libyan Sea we stop in the Kotsifou Gorge to visit a beautiful stone church. Our largest break will be in the bay of Plakias where you can spend time at the beach, have a meal or stroll through the village. On the way back to Rethymno we drive through the Kourtaliotis Gorge where we stop so you can take pictures of this amazing and wild landscape.

Great visit but poor admin
Great to see another part of the island! Through Viator I picked a hotel near us for pick-up; but no one came. I called the number at Platanos and they told us we were supposed to be at another hotel. They said they’d sent an email. I didn’t receive the confirmation email until the end of the trip the next day. And in that email, another hotel was indeed listed. All very confusing! Viator issue or Platano issue? I don’t know.
