From the Venetian Old Town, through picturesque villages and the springs of Argyroupoli, to the tranquil and enchanting Lake Kournas.

The Old Town of Rethymno preserves the charm of a period where Venetian grandeur meets Ottoman tradition. As you walk through the narrow streets, you will discover hidden monuments and squares, including the Fortezza Fortress, overlooking the city and the port, and the Rimondi Fountain, adorned with historical reliefs. The old market comes alive with local crafts, traditional products, and small shops, offering an authentic experience of exploration and shopping.

In Argyroupoli, the scenic springs and small waterfalls create a picturesque setting, while traditional workshops reveal the arts and daily life of the locals from centuries past.

Georgioupoli impresses with its seaside promenade and the small church of Agios Nikolaos, perched above the sea – perfect for photos and moments of relaxation while enjoying the endless blue horizon.

The day concludes at Lake Kournas, the only natural freshwater lake in Crete, which according to local legends was once home to fairies and divine creatures. On full moon
nights, it is said that the waters come alive with whispers and dances of water spirits, giving a sense of magic and serenity. Here you can enjoy local dishes, take a ride on a pedal boat, or simply relax, soaking in the lake’s magical atmosphere.
