Taking a Holiday at Lake Kurnas, Crete, Greece

Taking a holiday at the beach in Lake Kournas, Crete, Greece offers a serene and picturesque escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Lake Kournas is the only freshwater lake in Crete, nestled in a beautiful landscape surrounded by hills and mountains. The lake area provides a perfect blend of relaxation, natural beauty, and traditional Cretan charm.

Beach Type

The beaches around Lake Kournas are mainly composed of coarse sand with some pebbly areas. Unlike the typical oceanic beaches with powdery white sand or yellow sand, Lake Kournas offers a more rustic beach experience. While it may not be ideal for those seeking to sink their feet into soft sandy beaches, it is perfect for those who appreciate natural settings without much human alteration. Snorkeling and diving are not common here as this is a freshwater lake without the marine life you would find around reefs or rocky sea outcrops.

Beach Activities

  • Swimming: The clear waters of Lake Kournas make it an excellent spot for swimming, particularly during the summer months when the water temperature is just right.
  • Paddle Boating: Renting paddle boats is a popular activity on Lake Kournas. It allows visitors to explore the lake's perimeter and enjoy views of the surrounding landscapes.
  • Canoeing/Kayaking: For those who prefer something more active than paddle boating, canoeing or kayaking can be an invigorating way to traverse the waters.
  • Relaxation: Simply lounging by the lake's edge or having a picnic on its banks can be an enjoyable way to spend time here.

Accommodations

There are no beach resorts directly on Lake Kournas due to its nature as a protected environment; however, there are several accommodations nearby that offer easy access to the lake:

  • Kournas Village Beach Resort: Located just a short drive from Lake Kournas, this resort offers comfortable lodging with beautiful views of both mountain and sea.
  • Mythos Palace Resort & Spa: A bit further away but still within easy driving distance to Lake Kournas, this luxurious resort provides ample amenities and access to Georgioupoli Beach as well.

Areas to Stay In

  • Georgioupoli: This small resort town is located about 4 kilometers from Lake Kournas. It's well-known for its long sandy beach and is favoured by tourists who want both beach and freshwater experiences.
  • Kavros: Another nearby area that tourists can consider staying in is Kavros. It has various hotels and holiday rentals to choose from with convenient access to local attractions.
  • Vamos: For those looking for a more authentic Cretan village experience while still being close enough to visit Lake Kournas regularly.

Beach Amenities

Lake Kournas does not provide all of the amenities you might find on seaside beaches but does offer some conveniences including:

  • Sunbeds and umbrellas for rent
  • Taverns offering local Cretan cuisine
  • A few shops selling souvenirs and basic beach gear
  • Limited changing facilities
  • Parking areas close to the main points around the lake
