Our tour to Lake Kournas, Georgioupoli, Argyroupoli and Spili takes you to the only natural lake of Crete and the green villages around it, with pickup from your hotel.
Lake Kournas is the only natural freshwater lake of Crete, set among mountains and olive groves just inland from Georgioupoli. Its water changes colour with the light, you can walk along the shore, rent a pedal boat or swim from the small beach in summer.
Georgioupoli sits where the Almyros river meets the sea, with a little chapel of Agios Nikolaos standing on a rock in the water. Inland, the village of Argyroupoli, built on the site of ancient Lappa, is known for its springs: cold water rushes out of the mountain past old watermills and plane trees. Further east, the village of Spili is famous for its Venetian fountain with a long row of lion-head spouts.
Lake Kournas, Georgioupoli, Argyroupoli and Spili private tour by taxi
