But the western side of our island has even more to offer. Undoubtedly, the famous Kournas Lake, situated between Rethymno and Chania, is a prime example of the island’s natural beauty. Here, you can traverse the lake by boat and savor local dishes at traditional restaurants that surround the lake.
Finally, we can’t miss a visit to Chania, where the picturesque Venetian harbor will captivate you with its beauty, and the market in the old town is certainly worth your attention.
