We rented a car from Chania and drove here! I recommend renting a pedal boat at the beach to see the goldfish and turtles that lives in the Lake! Don't forget to drive up the mountain and see the real village Kourna with nice pottery and olive oil!

This is a beautiful lake, great for paddling / swimming as long as you avoid the clayey bits! A lot of birdlife including Kingfishers that even use the Pedalos to spy fish from! A selection of reasonable Tavernas and free parking make this a nice place to spend a few hours.

Due to the time of year we visited Lake Kournas there were very few people, which was great for me as I went to see the birdlife. There was enough to keep me occupied for an hour or so as I walked along the edge of the Lake. The second time we visited there were people on the lake, the weather was not great but they looked as if they were having fun. I suspect in the peak season it is very busy.

Relax on or around the lake. Plenty of tavernas where u cad eat or have a drink while looking over the lake. Resonable priced

Lovely lake but sadly spoilt by tourism. (sunbeds, boat hire etc!) We swam a little but I got freaked out as the bottom of the lake is like quicksand. I wouldnt go majorly out of my way to visit this lake however it is worth a stop if you are in the area.

Upon arriving at Terra-Cotta pottery, we were asked 'English, German, French?' and assured Mr. Tsakalakis (?) that we could do all those languages. Our host then volunteered that it would be good if were neither English nor German 'because they just look and don't buy'. Unfazed by our reply that were both (one English/one German), he opined that this is a rare (unfortunate?) combination. We did not dare to reveal that it was the day of out 40th wedding anniversary ... He then continued to lecture us about pottery, olive oil, luggage allowances ('I have never had any problems waiting for my luggage at Heathrow.') and economics. He had not quite finished enlightening us when we took flight.Apparently. Mr. T. is in charge of glazing and only serves in the shop on weekends. So if you want to experience this master of tact, make sure you visit on a Saturday or Sunday. By the way, the ceramics were quite nice!
