Lake Kournas is the only natural fresh water lake of Crete, with a maximum length of 1080 meters (0.67 miles) and a maximum width of 880 meters (0.54 miles). Its maximum depth is calculated at 22.5 meters (approx 74 feet). The picturesque lake is surrounded by dense vegetation of osier and myrtle trees, while olive trees adorn its southeastern side. The white sand beach around the lake makes it ideal for swimming. Do not miss out on enjoying a boat tour of the lake and savoring the delicious local meze at the traditional tavernas nearby.

Also, if you happen to be in the area in August, it is worth visiting the local fare of St. John the Baptist on the 28/8, to enjoy the Cretan dances and songs and of course to taste the traditional Cretan cuisine.
