This freshwater, cool, picturesque lake was a highlight of our time in Crete. Pedal out into the opposite edges, and you’ll find that the water is about three feet deep, totally clear, and teeming with koi carp. My daughter snorkelled in it for a couple of hours while I pootled about in the boat. We could have spent the whole day. Tip: eat at Georgia’s taverna just before you turn in to the lake. There’s a beautiful garden, with trampoline, and you’ll get a warm welcome, and raki with cookies to finish. Her speciality, home-grown food, is beautiful!

.A quiet, sandy beach, shallow water, great for children, with 2 beach bars and groups of sun beds. With rivers at either end of the sheltered cove, the beach is known locally as the "cold beach". You can work out why!You can also walk up the small church on the headland, snorkel or swim off the rocks, and visit the ancient ruins or the World War II gun embankments.

Blue flag, free parking, changing cubicles, showers, and if you buy a drink from any of the numerous tavernas you get free use of sun beds and parasol all day. Golden sand, lifeguard and crystal sea all add up to the perfect beach.

The monastery is easily accessible by car. Very friendly people, small place with a soul. When we approached, there were goats grazing around. The monastery is tranquil, peaceful, we were only is when visiting, no crowds. The church is beautiful, the olive oil factory’s remains are impressive. We spent like 15 minutes there. Worths to visit, made our day.
