KOUFONISI ISLAND

It takes just 10 nautical miles to reach Africa if you are on holiday in Crete. Or so it feels when you travel to tiny Koufonisi, off the coast of the eastern Lasithi region, in the Libyan Sea. Koufonisi offers a completely different experience to the rest of Crete. Here the landscape changes to an expanse of limestone (its ancient name, Lekfi, means white) and the interior resembles an African desert, with tamarisk trees and rare or indigenous shrubs and bushes, hiding small lizards and other heat-loving animals. And there are no fewer than 36 beaches, most with fine white or golden sand.

WEST CRETE: CHANIA- LAKE KOURNAS - RETHIMNO

Chania, Crete’s second largest city and the former capital of the island. The town is divided into the old town within the Venetian city walls which is an attractive maze of narrow streets, old mansions and arcades, with mosques and minarets bearing witness to the Turkish influence and the carefully laid out new town which is considered to be one of the most beautiful towns in Greece.

We continue onwards for a relaxing stop at the one and only fresh water lake on Crete, Kournas.

On our way back, a short a visit to Rethymnon will allow you to shop for antiques and knick-knacks in the narrow streets of the Old Town.
