Sightseeing

Kournas Lake

​The village of Kournas is 43km from Chania and 20km from Rethimnon on a road turning south at 41km of the Chania - Rethimnon highway. Kournas Lake, old villages, Byzantine churches, a Minoan tomb and a cave are in the area around the village.

Lake Kournas is one of only two lakes in Crete and covers a total area of about 160,000 square metres with a depth of up to 25 metres. The name is derived from the Arabic word for lake. Dense vegetation surrounds the scenic lake and the southeastern bank is lined with olive trees. A strip of white sand beside the lake provides an area for swimming and cafes.

In Patima (near Kournas) there is the church of Agios Theodoros which also has a fine, decorated tomb within the church. In Patima there are also the remains of Venetian buildings.
