Description Between a Lake & a Hard Place: Chania addremove

Perched on the banks of Lake Kournas, this home has some of the most beautiful lake views, and when you’re out on the terrace at just the right angle, it might even give you the impression of floating right above the deep blue body of water.

Given all the outdoor space has to offer – there’s also views of the Chania mountains – we won’t blame you if you spend entire days poolside, only ever moving to top up your drink or apply another layer of sunscreen. With a table set up right on the terrace, you can even dine alfresco – we recommend meze platters of salty olives and feta cheese alongside a refreshing beer.

After lazy mornings spent chatting and drinking coffee in the light living space, you can venture down to the lake to rent a paddleboat. Spend sunny afternoons on the shimmering water as the breeze rustles the leaves and when you’re done, head up to the local taverna for a bite to eat.

Kalyvaki is a short drive away if spending sun-drenched days on a stretch of sandy beach sounds like your cup of tea, but exploring Crete’s beauty can also take you towards the waterfall, Quellen von Argiroupoli. Explore the island, eat, drink, and relax, and if nothing else, enjoy the sense of peace that goes along with staring out over a lake.
