Chania, Lake Kournas & Rethymno Excursion

At 7:30 am, we will gather at the meeting point in Malia to begin our journey to western Crete.

Our first stop will be Chania, known as the 'mother of the Cretan cities'. In the Old City, we will see the harbor, Venetian fortifications, and Turkish mosques. You will also have time to experience local gastronomy and shop at the local market.

After an hour and a half in Chania, we will head to Lake Kournas, a notable freshwater lake fed by subterranean water from the Lefka Ori mountains. You will have two hours to swim and dine at a local restaurant.

Around 4:15 pm, we will regroup and continue to Rethymno. We will explore this city, visiting a 16th-century Venetian fortress, the Rimondi Fountain, and the Venetian Loggia.

This tour will conclude around 7:30 pm back at the meeting point in Malia.
