The Experience

Indulge in a day of absolute serenity and natural wonder. This private tour leads you to the hidden ’emerald’ of Crete, Lake Kournas, and the picturesque seaside village of Georgioupoli. It is a journey designed for those who wish to swap the salt for the sweetness of the lake, wander through eucalyptus-lined streets, and witness the magic where the river meets the sea. Perfect for families, couples, and nature lovers seeking a tranquil, refreshing escape.

Highlights

Lake Kournas, A Mirror of the White Mountains: Discover the only natural freshwater lake in Crete, a stunning turquoise basin cradled by the lush foothills of the White Mountains. Lake Kournas is a protected ecosystem of rare beauty. Rent a pedal boat to glide across its calm surface, look for the famous ‘Caretta Caretta’ turtles and iridescent dragonflies, or simply relax at the water’s edge. The reflections of the mountains on the emerald water create a scenery that feels like a living painting.
Georgioupoli, The Village of the Eucalyptus: Next, we visit the charming coastal village of Georgioupoli. Famous for its long entrance lined with towering eucalyptus trees and the Almiros river that flows into the sea, the village exudes an old-world Mediterranean charm. Stroll through its vibrant square, enjoy the sea breeze, and experience the slow, authentic rhythm of Cretan seaside life.
The Chapel of St. Nicholas, A Walk on the Water: The highlight of Georgioupoli is the iconic white chapel of Agios Nikolaos, built at the end of a long, rocky pier stretching into the sea. Walking along the path with waves on both sides to reach this tiny chapel is a spiritual and cinematic experience. It is arguably one of the most photographed and romantic spots in Crete, offering a perfect backdrop for your holiday memories.
