Slide 1 of 20
Kournas Lake everyone has to visit then coming to Crete. Clear water, fishes, turtles, pedal boats and tavernas on site.
Mindaugas Povilaitis — Google review
The only lake in Crete with fresh water. Totally worth the visit. A lot of Greek tavernas in the area. Parking isn t an issue. Definitely rent a pedal boat and go around the lake. 10 euros for 1 hour. You can also swim in the lake, so take your bath suit on summer.
Dimitris Kostidis — Google review
Beautiful lake - no words to add to that. If you venture down to it you will find lots of tavernas and gift shops. You can hire pedalo boats and paddle boards. There is parking (I have seen €2 per day). The edge of the lake is a bit dusty - it’s not sand like a beach as such since it is fresh water. We have not gone on the lake yet to look for the turtles.
a User — Google review
It is a natural lake surrounded by mountains. I came here in early January, and there are no pedal boats available. So, I believe this lake is more popular in the summer. There were some turtles on the other side of the lake, but we are unable to see it without riding a boat. Most of restaurants and businesses were closed during our visit.
Eric J — Google review
Magical place, peaceful, Turtles & a friendly Goose. You can hirer pedalos, to have a closer look at all areas of The Lake. Definitely will go again if I'm in the area.
Nick Rankine — Google review
A must visit lake, it’s so beautiful and peaceful. We were there in the end of April so there weren’t many people too. We saw a lot of turtles at the very north beach of the lake
Dina Taitelbaum — Google review
Beautiful and spectacular view place😍⛰️ We saw swimming turtles, eels, colored carp. At first place water boats cost 15€ and you need to walk or ride down, so there prices are 10€ for 3 persons. Definitely worth to visit.

Very nice lake. The surrounding mountains are breathtaking. Great to swim. It was a nice daytrip and less busy than the beaches.
Kosin — Google review
This is a nice place to spend a couple of hours with the family. We rented one of the pedal boats and went to see the turtles, which is very interesting for the kids. Nature was beautiful, and the lake was really peaceful. There are some shops and restaurants around as well.

Beautiful serene environment. Off season you can really e joy the quiet and magnitude of the space, surrounded by mountains, white sand and the crystal emerald waters.

Ideal place to spend a day! We rented water cycle and sup. We saw turtles there and a lot of fish! Water is amazing + you can have tasty food in local taverns

Beautiful lake! When you’re driving down and see the parking lot charging 1-2 euro keep driving down past them and there are tons of free parking!

The view here is amazing, the lake is small, but very clean. The infrastructure is present (bars, catamarans, boats), tourists are taken by bus, but it is better with a small car like us. Mazda 2 hybrid ♥️perfect for Creta
Viktor Naumchik — Google review
Very pretty lake where you can snorkel and see different kinds of fishes! There are also several restaurants and shops present and you can rent watercycles to cycle across the lake. The water has a very nice temperature to swim and is very clear. There are multiple parking spaces, some for free and some for a few euros.
Susanne le Coq — Google review
Nice place to visit even if it's raining. The view is amazing. You can rent hydrobikes and explore the lake( 10 € for 2 persons and 20€ for 5 persons). There are bars and restaurants and gift shops. If you want you can even swim in the freshwater lake. There is a free changing room.
Mara-Alina Damian — Google review
Fantastic place to visit! Turtles to see, peddle boating and lots of options for the kids to explore, including slides on some of the boats! Must see when on Crete!
Jan C Schulze — Google review
A very picturesque lake, surrounded by green nature! It is quiet despite its popularity. There are sea bikes you can take, but you can also swim. Plenty of shops and restaurants on the road that leads to it, which means that you can have your needs met without the view getting ruined.
Cookie Chan — Google review
Absolutely beautiful lake!! I can only recommend you visit this place. Make sure you pedal across to the other side to see the carp and turtles. Great shops too and some lovely pottery to buy. You can easily spend 2 or 3 days here.
Thiago Nosch — Google review
What a fabulous place, it was really easy to get to and there is plenty of parking. We saw turtles and carp which looked like giant goldfish. They are best seen on the sides of the lake so we rented a pedalo and then snorkelled. The pedalo had a ladder to get back on which made it easy.
Thomas Coombs — Google review
Definitely worth the drive through mountains! I’d book at least 3-4 hours to be there and enjoy enough. First to stay for lunch at a Taverna above to enjoy the whole lake at once, then to explore local flora and fauna on a pedal boat and take a swim (at least 2 hours needed).

Agios Nikolaos is a small Orthodox Church built during the 4th century in honor of Saint Nicholas, the protector of sailors and fishermen. It is located in the Old Port of Mykonos Town. Close by are restaurants and cafes. It is right next to the sea and winds blowing from the sea make it a great experience. There is a bench where I sat for several minutes feeling one with nature and at peace. The little rocks visible in the transparent waters look lovely. A nice place if you are interested in photography.
Shampa Sharma — Google review
Lovely little place to visit. The church is gorgeous but a bit tricky getting out to it. Wear trainers as it's very slippy and sharp rocks. The little town itself is lovely with plenty places to stop for some lunch,vwell worth a visit!
Karen Hughes — Google review
Lovely little chapel on the sea. Be sure to wear proper shoes when you walk out on the rocks as it can be quite dangerous in slippers when you get wet from the waves.
M?rk Mester — Google review
Lovely little chapel in beautiful surroundings. You can light a candle there (make sure you bring one with you) and pray alongside icons. There is also a notebook in the chapel where you can write your commemoration list, although people tend to write their own names in the book (as well as on the walls) to immortalise their visit to the chapel. The best time to visit to avoid tourists is early morning (we went there at 6:30am) or late evening, although it can be quite dangerous to get to the chapel when it’s dark.
Hanna Mukha — Google review
Beautiful church in the middle of the sea .the feeling to walk to go to this beautiful place is extraordinary.be careful the rocks are difficult when wet.many cramps crawling next to you.if you Dont have stability problem is very beautiful place to go.
Manos Kornarakis — Google review
Beautiful, but wear the right shoes when walking on the rocks! Waves makes them slippery and you will get wet.
Freja Tousgaard Andersen — Google review
At the end of a long rocky causeway is the Chapel of Agios Nikolaos and it's well worth visiting. The causeway is made up of rock chunks and it's easy to navigate your way to the chapel. I wore trainers and my friend wore flip-flops and we both got there and back with no slippage. The rocks do get wet so souls with grip might be best. Once at the chapel, it's pretty impressive and affords terrific views of Georgioupolis, the open sea and a church opposite. As usual, tourist information about the history and description of the Chapel was missing so you need to look it up.
Ivan T — Google review
Very nice small church in the middle of the sea with beautiful view around . To reach the church you have to walk on slippery rocks so you have to have good shoes on with good grip on the rocks.
Manos Kornarakis — Google review
Nice chapel with difficult access :) It takes you few minutes to get there thru path of slippery stones, but it's worth it. Chapel is accessible with possibility to light a candle inside.
Vít Havránek — Google review
One of the most beautiful sceneries I've ever seen. Be aware though as if the waves are strong, the rocks you step on to reach the Chapel get all slippery. I know I prayed many times before I finally arrived!
Despoina P — Google review
Nice small church, especially the walk to it, over (slippery) rocks through the sea. Don't forget to donate in the church.

Beautiful beach with clear water. Experience is unusual with layered cold and hot water. Cold water is due to a river joint. You should consider visiting this beach definitely.
Milos N — Google review
Nice beach on an estuary where two rivers converge. A great place to cool off because the fresh, cold, water from the rivers brings the water temperature down (well, a level of the waters temperature because fresh water sits atop salt water). A really fun experience on a nice beach. No wonder it’s always busy!
R C — Google review
Beautiful beach, the water is colder due to the river flowing into the sea. Be sure to visit this beach
?ikina d?epna kuhinja — Google review
This is the BEST beach ever! The river with fresh water from the mountains is mixing with the sea water and its very clean , not to salty. The beach is beautiful and clean with beautiful sand. There is a nice taverna to enjoy the best traditional Greek food. I really recommend this beach!😍🥰🏝
Ellinor Gunnarson — Google review
The beach is a beauty. Crystal clear , not very crowded and really really cool water ( ok, it was cold but that was very welcome on a hot day!). Although it was windy and the near by beaches were quite wavy the sea was calm in Kalyvaki. There are a couple of beach bars and a tavern but there is space for you to sit under your own umbrellas.
Despina Barlagianni — Google review
Lovely little beach, nice and relaxing and waters quite calm the day we went. The river runs close by. Some nice little things to explore. Loungers available with parasol for €5 a set. Take goggles/snorkeling gear if got it. Water cooler with warm spots really pleasant. Sand is nice. Clean beach. If the man selling his donuts walk past definitely treat yourself only £2.50 are massive and freshly made, a real treat ( few different fillings). Grab a nice coffee from the beach taverna and relax.
Alexandra Irvine — Google review
I was surprised with the beauty of this place. I found there miniatures of antique buildings of Greece.

Lovely clean beach with resturants along it. Bed rental is €7 per set of beds. The water has a cold layer at the top - very refreshing
Harriet C (harriet1601) — Google review
Our favourite beach in the North near Rethymno. The water is just amazing with the cold layer on the surface and warm underneath. Great to walk around the headland and look at the 2 rivers with lots of wildlife. The beach is protected from the large waves that can hit other nearby beaches. Sunbeds 7€ for 2 and extra 3€ for one more form the lovely beach attendant who was friendly and chatty.
Jonathon Collett — Google review
Went here in June 2021 and found it to be a really nice little beach not particularly full. Decent taverna as I remember. Comments about the water being cold are because of the fresh water river that comes down on eastern side with a much smaller one on the west. Didn’t bother us at all and actually quite refreshing
Skin Dude — Google review
This place is perfect! I love the hot and cold water, because of the freshwater rivers. I love how sweet and friendly the staff are at the beach tavern. They have great coffee, food, and atmosphere. The music is also great, chill, and relaxed. It is a calmer beach, but its glory is in the waters, for sure. I always try to visit anytime I am in Crete. Suitable for families, kids and friends, everybody! The photo is the view from the beach to the church on the right hand side, Agios Nikolaos chapel
Elena Svingen — Google review
Nice sandy but narrow beach in the bay on the other side of the main river. Went there as it was calm when the main beaches were very windy. Sea was calm and a bit cooler but nothing to complain. Very busy. Bizzarely, the lack of wind meant that it felt very hot! Has two tavernas, both very busy during lunch. Worth a visit.
Arwyn Jones — Google review
Something of an undiscovered local gem. Sun beds and umbrellas available along with a waterfront restaurant. Nearby is a quirky free attraction where a local person has built impressive scale models of Greek and Cretan historic monuments like the Acropolis and the Arkadi Monastery.

Great service. Picked us up at the cruise ship port and took us to a small Beach. Would never have found it without them. Picked us up at the agreed time which was adjusted because we wanted to stay a little bit longer. Then waited because the restaurant at the beach insisted on giving us desert. LOL On time. Great communication using WhatsApp.
Neil Ryan — Google review
Due to some logistical difficulties, we found ourselves looking to book accommodations for a group of over 30 people with less than 24 hours notice. We found lodging and we found this wonderful taxi company owned and operated by George and his lovely family. I don't know what we would have done without them. They agreed to help us get around even though they normally would not be working during the end of December / early January. They were always friendly, professional, and on time. And they went above and beyond to make us feel like welcome guests in their country. There is no need to look anywhere else. If they are available, use this company for your transportation needs while visiting Chania and/or the surrounding villages!

A friend and I were brought to the airport yesterday 9th October. Our driver was Lefteris. When he dropped us to the airport I realised that I had left my jacket in the back of the taxi. I went outside but the taxi was gone. While I was waiting in the queue to check in Lefteris arrived and found me in the queue and handed me my jacket. What a service. The company is fortunate to have such drivers. Ευχαριστώ πάρα πολύ

I reserved a transfer 3 days prior to our arrival. They replied fast and we confirmed all the details.

You need to go there. Omprogialos is beautiful place with clear turquise water. Don't forget to take the diving equipment with you. There is a Taverna, so you can also find some refreshments or snacks, but we didn't tried it. Parking is free and the road is nice and in a good condition, so dont worry about the car.

Very small rocky beach with magical blue waters - good for snorkeling 🤿. You can lay your stuff on the steps leading to the water - you can as well forget about laying under an umbrella, as there's absolutely no space for one. There's a place to eat fish with views of the beach. Parking is limited, you end up parking on the side of the road.
Vicky Pardalitsa — Google review
Nice and not crowded beach near Chania. The water is crystal clear and blue with little fishies. The tavern is also nice. Affordable prices and fresh sea food. We particularly liked shrimps and grilled octopus. The road to the beach is maintained and there is parking space.
Диана Перехрест — Google review
Perfect location for a lazy afternoon. If you are a strong swimmer then the swimming is great - straight off a jetty and into deep blue sea. The tiny taverna just above the bay is great - you can pick the fresh fish you want and they cook it then and there. Local wine, great meze. Just perfect. Far enough out of the way to be over crowded. Seek it out.

Yannis and his father were super friendly and chill! He took a lot of photos of us, which was really nice of him. The scenery was really beautiful and the places he took us to snorkel were pretty and fun! For this price and the fun we had, I’d definitely recommend this tour 😊✌🏻

Highly Recommended! It has been an amazing day! We went on a trip with the captain and his wife on a 4,5h morning trip and it turned out to be the most memorable adventure we have been on during the whole vacation. We had meals, drinks, Raki and everything else you can probably think of. The actual trip took 30min longer than described on the website and the price of 40€ for each person (adult) is unbeatable. We will definitely return!
tobi — Google review
It was the best part of our vacation in Crete. I was looking for different options and have to admit that it wasn't the cheapest one, but it was worth every penny spent. The crew was fantastic, taking us not only to beautiful places but also sharing local stories. Every swim was followed by yummy food, snacks, and lots of drinks – you could even ask for something stronger ;) I will definitely recommend this place to all my friends and family!!!
Maciej Targosz — Google review
We had a wonderful morning boat trip with Yannis and his father. Everything was well organised and we went to three beautiful swimming spots: one where you could swim to a little church on shore, one spot good for fish and another with a cave to explore. Snorkeling equipment was provided as well as a small lunch and some drinks. Highly recommend if you are coming to Kalyves or the surrounding area - when we come back we'll definitely try the sunset cruise! Booking is recommended as they will get booked up quickly.

This was the best experience we had with a boat. The captain was great, showed us some beautiful spots and told us some interesting history. The tour was pretty packed since there is a lot of interest but we were serviced efficiently and with some tasty sandwiches, salad and fruit. The best was actually the sunset, it was magical and we saw a full moon rise as well. Thank you for the memories!

10/5 stars for Nicos and Janni - the best captains for our trip. We booked a private tour for 9 people, had 3 stops for swimming and snorkelling, some sandwiches and fruits.

Absolutely amazing trip. We went on the morning trip and it was all you could ask for - the crew took us to great spots to go swimming, the water looked picturesque for colourful pictures, we were treated with nice refreshments. One thing that highly stands out are the organisers themselves. They have done everything to keep the trip entertaining and welcoming and I would recommend to go on a trip only to experience the astounding Greek hospitality. Highly recommended!

Recommend bring cash. Very well worth the visit, paid 2 euro, I’ve seen people come without cash with them we’re still admitted. There are still people living here, there are monks and libraries

Very peaceful and tranquil. Worth the two euros entrance. The church is tiny and smells strongly of incense which took me back to my Catholic upbringing. We were given a present of a slice of brioche bread each - wonderful.

The old olive mill is beautiful！

An early example of religion and commerce - where local olive oil production began in the area and a site of significance for both. Beautiful sites from the hilltop too

Worthwhile stop on your way to Rhetymno. 2 euro entry, which also gets you a free glass of water, olives and bread to taste. The bread was really good! Short walk around but the fallen buildings were pretty in a rustic way. The Monestry sits in the middle of nowhere and is very peaceful. People were friendly and tried to help when we had questions. Important when driving a while whilst drinking lots of water, they had clean bathrooms. Highly recommended!

Excellent choice of lots of different types of foodstuffs, teas and seasonings. Friendly helpful staff. If you are looking for any kind of nuts, seeds, herbs, spices, powders/flours, teas or dried fruits, you can likely find it here for a good price. They also sell coffee beans (which can be ground upon request), wine, Greek cosmetics, international foods, kitchen wares, all manner of souvenirs and lovely hand-made wooden crafts. Additionally, they offer advice and assistance regarding things like insurance, property management and administrative issues.

What a great store. So glad I found it. Open all day in summer (‘til 21:00) I think. Wonderful selection of dried herbs, spices, nuts, grains, flouts…at fair prices 👍🏻. Nice local wines too.

We love the coffee (their roasts) and tea selections! And the wide range of herbs and spices at excellent prices. Friendly service. One of our new favorite shops! An excellent recommendation from a friend…so I had to pass this along for others to know about this gem
