Description

Discover the highlights of northern Crete on this unforgettable day trip that takes you to the charming towns of Rethymno and Chania, as well as the tranquil Lake Kournas. Begin your journey in Rethymno, the island’s third largest town, where centuries-old Ottoman and Venetian monuments blend seamlessly with lively harbor cafes and picturesque alleyways.

Stroll through Rethymno’s atmospheric old town, marveling at Turkish minarets, Venetian fortresses, and unique architecture that tell the story of Crete’s rich past. Enjoy some free time to sip coffee at the scenic harbor or browse the local shops before continuing west along the stunning coastline.

Your next destination is Chania, known as the 'Venice of the East.' Explore the enchanting Old City, with its beautiful harbor, cobbled streets, and vibrant markets. Take in the sights of Turkish mosques, Venetian fortresses, and the iconic lighthouse, or immerse yourself in the lively atmosphere of the famous Agora market.

The final stop of your adventure is the serene Lake Kournas, Crete’s only natural freshwater lake and a protected Natura 2000 habitat. Surrounded by lush greenery and rolling hills, it’s the perfect place to unwind with a peaceful lakeside walk and spot rare birds or local wildlife before heading back to your original meeting point.

This full-day tour includes comfortable transport and an expert local guide, while meals and personal expenses are not covered. Don’t miss your chance to explore some of Crete’s most captivating destinations—secure your spot and book now to experience the best of the island!
