What to expect

  1. Chania Town
    2h
    Your day begins with a scenic drive from the Heraklion area to Chania, one of the most picturesque towns in Crete. Wander through its historic streets, admire the famous Venetian harbor and lighthouse, and experience the vibrant atmosphere that makes Chania so special.
    Chania is located approximately 2 hours from the Heraklion area, making this a longer but very rewarding full-day experience across the island.

    Continue to Kournas Lake, a peaceful natural oasis surrounded by hills and greenery. Enjoy free time to walk, relax, take a swim or simply take in the beautiful scenery. Optional lunch at a local family-run taverna is available nearby.
  3. Rethymnon Old Town
    1h 20m
    End your journey in the charming old town of Rethymno, where narrow streets, elegant architecture and the Venetian harbor create a relaxed and memorable atmosphere. A perfect final stop before returning to Heraklion.
