~Discover the charm of Crete by exploring the city of Rethymno, the city of Chania and the serene Lake Kournas. Immerse yourself in the local culture, enjoy a full-day tour of the island's most famous monuments.~
This excursion takes you to the west side of the island. It includes a visit to the towns of Rethymnon and Chania, as well as to the well – known Lake of Kournas. Going west on the northern axis of Crete, first we will pass the Ida range that includes the highest mountain of Crete, Psiloritis (2453m high), then our tour will take us to the beautiful town of Rethymno.
Our next stop Chania is 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 Ottoman 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 a coffee and observe the liveliness of the city. Here you can see the cross – shaped closed Marketplace and the leather – Market Street.
Next stop and last is the lake of Kournas, the only natural sweet water. Lake close to Chania, where you will have your lunch (optionally).
For those who want, there is a possibility to make a tour in the lake on a rented pedal-boat , or just walk around the lake and swim before we take the way back to Heraklion.
