Cretan Paradise

Early morning at Lake Kournas

Early morning is the ideal time to visit Lake Kournas in Northwest Crete. Before the cooling summer breeze springs up, the lake is like glass reflecting the mountains which surround it.



Sit at one of the tavernas which overlook the lake and enjoy the peace.







Before the other visitors arrive, there is nothing better than sitting with a Greek coffee, a slice of local Graviera cheese and a hunk of warm crusty bread - ideally freshly baked from the wood oven of Georgioupolis, or a bowl of locally made yoghourt topped with honey.


You might enjoy reading a book telling of the Legend of the lake.

A lovely way to set yourself up before the hustle and bustle of the day ahead
