The first stop is the town of Rethimno. Here, archeological monuments of the Ottoman and Venetian eras co-exist. Enjoy a stroll in the alleys of the old town, a visit to the Turkish minarets and the Venetian fortresses, or a coffee at the magnificent harbor The next stop is Chania town. The Old City is one of the most beautiful cities in the Mediterranean and is called “Venice of the East”. You can find Turkish minarets and mosques, Muslim neighborhoods, Venetian fortresses, dockyards, fountains, squares, arches, mansions, Loggia and the Lighthouse.
The last stop of the day is Kournas lake, a beautiful habitat with natural freshwater, one of a kind in Crete.

Great all day trip with Orange Travel! We travelled in a air conditioned coach with WiFi. We had 3x tour guides covering English, Polish, Chech and French. Our Greek Tour leader Maria was great! Funny, truthful about sights and passed on really good vibes onto us. We've learnt a lot. We had enough time in each place to relax, get all the photos we wanted, use the toilet etc. You can hire waterbikes at the Kournas Lake but I recommend haggling for less time at lower price as realistically you would need the whole hour to get to other side of lake (stop is 50 min). We didn't see any turtles as there were so many people!
Nice surprise was a packed lunch we got from Orange Travel :)

A day full of wonderful discoveries accompanied by a caring, cultured guide who takes the time to provide the necessary information to everyone in their own language.
The program is dense, 3 destinations in one day but in the end, the free time for each destination is comfortable.
The excursion allows you to benefit from the best visiting advice but also to avoid taking the car to drive several hours in a country that you do not know ☺️ A shuttle transported us from the entrance of our hotel to bus for the day, everything was done to make our lives easier.
We can only recommend ☺️

Booked this trip through Get Your Guide and it really was great. The pick up was early and we had to make our way from our hotel however once we were on the coach, the travel was more than fine and even had usb ports to charge phones on board. The first stop was Rethymno which we arrived at pretty early and managed to get some food at Cul De Sac, which was phenomenal. We then walked around the town and along the harbour which was hardly crowded and so pleasant. The guide advised us what time to be back at the coach and we then moved on to Chania. The guide was informative and clear with instructions, allowing us free time to then explore by ourselves the towns. Chania was by far my favourite, with its cute market stalls, oldie buildings and vast choices of restaurants. The harbour was stunning and really gave me a Game of Thrones vibe. From there we met back up and went to Lake Kournas. This was again, very scenic, surrounded by a lot of rural land and animals including chicken and geese, though the smell here was very strong of sewage. Highly recommend this tour, worth every penny. Things to remember are plenty of water, you do not get fed at all so make sure you leave time to eat when in the towns, ensure you wear sun cream as some areas there is little shade and bring swim stuff for the lake!
