Wheelchair Accessible Tour to Rethymno, Kournas and Georgioupoli

Our first stop is at Rethymno City. Rethymno’s Old Town hides its secrets in plain sight. A tour takes you through the original settlement of the city located on Crete’s northern coastline, midway between Chania and Heraklion, introducing you to its distinctive buildings, street markets, narrow alleyways and historical monuments. You’ll understand how the Old Town grew into Crete’s third-largest settlement, spreading from the harbour in around 1300, and appreciate how it has retained its intimacy and colour despite its growth, with little bars, cafes and concept stores opening in refurbished buildings. In many of the tavernas, you can enjoy traditional Cretan food and music. Rethymno is one of Crete’s best-preserved settlements. Look out for the ornate doorways decorated with Venetian crests, Ottoman mosques with minarets and the wooden facades of mansions all vying for your attention – before you emerge at the waterfront by the iconic harbour.

Kournas Lake is the largest natural lake in Crete and is surrounded by hills. Is the southernmost lake in Europe, formed by the not possible drainage of groundwater and melt water from the White Mountains in the impermeable rock formations. You will have free time exploring the lake or enjoying your meal at the local tavernas. A peaceful view of the lake, which is surrounded by mountains, and a friendly welcome in the local shops complete a remarkable scenery.

Then we go to Georgioupolis where you can have free time for your coffee or swimming.
