Rethymno – Chania – Kournas

Visit two wonderful cities, Chania and Rethymno, as well as the well-known Lake of Kournas!

This excursion takes you to the west side of the island to of Crete, you will pass and notice the Ida Range including the highest mountain peak of Crete, the Psiloritis (2456m high).

First the tour will take you to the beautiful town of Rethymno. A graphic Cretan town, so characteristic and unique, that nothing similar is met anywhere else on the island of Crete. You will have time to relax at the beautiful scenery at the old port of Rethymno.

Next you will enjoy a visit to Chania, the capital city of the prefecture of Chania, which comes second in size on the island and is the sixth biggest city in Greece, having approximately 65.000 residents. Its Venetian walls and harbor, narrow streets and old buildings from the Venetian and Turkish period are mostly intact and take you directly to the past. The old harbor where the small fishing boats can moor is a perfect place to enjoy coffee and observe the liveliness of the city. In Chania you can spot the cross–shaped Marketplace (under construction) and the leather street.

The last stop of today is at the beautiful Lake of Kournas, the only natural sweet water lake at the Chania Region, where you can enjoy your coffee or lunch. During summer months there is a possibility to rent a pedal-boat and make a tour at the lake or you might just prefer to walk along the lake or swim before your way back to Heraklion.
