Lake Kournas lies 28km from Chania and is Crete’s only freshwater lake. It’s definitely worth a visit. There are a number of tavernas and cafes on the lake side and pedaloes and canoes for hire so you can try and spot some of the unusual wildlife out on the lake such as Terrapins. The views are stunning and the colour of the lake can vary during the day. During the summer its possible to walk the whole perimeter of the lake. From Georgioupolis its an easy drive, or you can catch the tourist train or go on foot following the designated path through one of the local hamlets.
