Customer Reviews
Lake Kournas is a true gem of Crete! Surrounded by mountains, it enchants with its turquoise water and peaceful atmosphere. It’s a perfect place to relax, swim, or take a ride on a pedal boat. You can also spot turtles swimming in the lake — a wonderful experience, especially for children. Around the lake, there are cozy tavernas serving delicious food with a beautiful view. It’s definitely worth visiting to unwind and enjoy the magic of nature.
Surely worth a visit. Parking is available very close to lake for only €3.00 for a day. Paddle boat for 4 persons costs €15 for 1 hour. We had no luck in seeing turtles, but still enjoyed every minute. Then had some lunch in one of the Tavernas there.
If you plan it well and can afford tourist prices, this is 100% worth it. We had a lovely hour in a paddle boat, we saw plenty of turtles- and since we arrived early in the morning, there were not many people there yet. Highly recommend to do it this way, get there by 9:30 to beat crowds!
