The distance from Rethymno to Kournas Lake is 20 kilometers. The lake’s shoreline is 3.5 kilometers. There are several small beaches and decks in its area. Upon arrival, tourists often hire a Kournas Lake pedal boat to enjoy a walk around Lake Kournas.
An extraordinary mountainous environment combined with crystal pure waters and local color lets travelers immerse into a leisurely life of local inhabitants full of pleasure.
The lake nestles at an altitude of 200 meters. Its bottom is situated 3 meters below the sea level. Lake Kournas is filled by the underground waters of two sources. The first one is the White Mountains. The second one bears the name of Amati. The underground waters are crystal pure. This property of the source waters results from their long way through the karst rocks.
The first references about the lake date back from the VI century BC. During this period, the lake bore the name of Lake Korisia. People believe that one of its banks housed the sacred temple of Korisia Athena. The change of the lake’s name happened after the Arabic conquered the area. In translation, the name of the lake stands for the reservoir or the source. At present, Lake Kournas is an excellent place for strolls, picnics, and swimming. All its shores are traditionally divided into the wild ones and well-equipped areas. The tourists choose Kournas beach they like.
