The magical Kournas Lake is one of the most fascinating destinations of Crete, a wondrous natural treasure that offers plenty of things to experience. The first impression of the lake is astonishing, with its unbelievable blue shades surrounded by green vegetation and the imposing rocky hills of the White Mountains.
Kournas Lake is the ideal place for an afternoon walk or a daytrip nearby. The place is ideal for walks and flower picking while the biggest fun for the kids is the pedal boat around the lake. Ride a pedalo on the waters of the lake, swim and enjoy a meal in one of the little tavernas. Watch the ducks and feed them. There are many ducks with their ducklings on Lake Kournas, and when they all start quacking together it can be deafening.
Book the pedal boat you like and enjoy a day at Kournas Lake. You will have 4 hours free time to walk and explore Kournas. You will find a lot of tavernas where you can enjoy your lunch with lake view.
You will receive the voucer with pick up details (pick up time & pick up point) one day before.
