Our first or last stop is the Venetian city of Rethymno with its big market, beautiful port and windy streets full of life, shops, restaurants, and colorful houses.
Kournas Lake is surrounded by mountains giving a most serene impression, where if time and weather permit we can rent pedalos and go around the lake and admire the views and the ducks who dive in and out as if to greet us.
A very scenic tour to the west part of Crete- towards the inner part of the island. Kournas lake is a natural lake surrounded by small green hills and some restaurants.
There are pedaloes for people who wish to take a small ride and enjoy the lake. Argyroupolis is a small village with water falls from the nearby mountains which create a very positive atmosphere. you can sit by the water fall and enjoy either a nice meal or coffee.

The south side of Crete has always been the least touristic, least noisy part of the island. Having said that, spots like Matala, Kokkinos Pyrgos (literaly meaning Red Tower) along with its ancient Greek-Roman town of Gortys and the Minoan settlement of Phaestos and its palace will transport you to different time periods, ranging from 2500 BC up till the 1960's.

At the centre of Heraklion we disembark at Liberty square. You will have free time to explore the centre with its souvenir shops, boutiques, jewellry stores, cafes and restaurants lining the streets. Shop till you drop or just sit and enjoy a coffee and watch the world go by, the choice is yours.
