House for long term rent in Kournas Apokoronas Location Information: Kournas is a pretty traditional village 8 km from Georgioupoli and about 4 km from Lake Kournas. If you are visiting Lake Kournas it is worth driving 15 minutes further along the narrow uphill road to Kournas. The old houses, the village square, the pottery workshop opposite the large kafeneio and Agapinakis’s taverna “Kali Kardia”, with its wonderful salads and delicious meat, are the first things you will notice in the village of Kournas. The village of Kournas has 500 inhabitants and lies at an altitude of 200 meters. While the lake is ‘touristy’, Kournas village is completely unaffected by tourism and takes visitors on a journey back in time, as do many villages in the interior of Crete (these words were written in 2009, I hope I won’t need to change them in future…) Lake Kournas is the largest natural lake in Crete and is located in an enchanting landscape, between the western slopes of the White Mountains and the fertile plane of Georgioupolis. It is located near the village Kournas, 2.5km south of the beach of Georgioupolis, 43km east of Chania, and 20km west of Rethymnon. Lake Kournas and its surroundings constitute a very important ecosystem for Greece, as the wider area of Apokoronas is one of the very few areas of Crete where plenty of freshwater is stored throughout the year.
