Kournas Lake half-day tour in Crete
Crete isn't all sandy beaches and saltwater. At Lake Kournas, freshwater takes their place, with rocky hills, greenery and mountains wrapping around the shore. It's the island's only natural freshwater lake, and on this half-day trip you'll have around three hours to see what makes it so special. You might start with a swim, then dry off in the sun, or rent a pedal boat and see the lake from the water. As you move across its calmer stretches, watch for terrapins around the quieter edges. Ducks and other birdlife can also be spotted around the lake. There's time for a slower moment, too. Lakeside cafés and tavernas give you somewhere to stop for a drink or a bite while you look out over the water. There's no set itinerary during your free time, so whether you swim, pedal or simply sit by the shore is completely up to you.

Crete - Amazonas Park half-day tour
Crete's beaches can wait for a few hours. This morning, you're heading into the hills near Agios Nikolaos for a visit to Amazonas Park. Follow the paths between palms and colourful flowers, listening out for the calls of parrots and cockatoos as you go. Lemurs, monkeys and other species are here too, so take your time and see what catches your eye. There's more to the visit than simply looking around. You'll hear about the park's conservation work, its focus on endangered species and why protecting rainforest habitats matters. It's an interesting addition to the morning and gives you a little more context about what you're seeing along the way. After your visit, you'll head back to your hotel with the rest of the day still ahead of you. Maybe it's back to the beach, somewhere for lunch or off to see another side of Crete.
