A place of special beauty and Natura protected area. What characterizes Elafonisi and makes it exotic is the small islands with the very fine white sand that rises in many places, the lagoon that is formed and the turquoise shallow waters.

The gorge of Samaria is situated in the National park of Samaria, in the White Mountains in West Crete. The 18 km hike through the Samaria Gorge begins at Xyloskalo on the Omalos plateau 1200 m. high. To the south is a majestic view of Mt. Gygilos with its lunar landscape.
A well-maintained path drops down to the bottom of the gorge through a fragrant forest of pine and cypress trees. Along the way, there are many species of flora, some of which are endemic to Crete and found only in this gorge. Wild herbs that grow profusely in the nooks and crannies of the cliffs, release their fragrance with only the slightest touch.
Farther along, the narrowest point in the gorge is reached. Known as "Portes" or "The Gates", it is the most photographed part of the gorge because steep cliffs rise dramatically to a height of over 300m with a very narrow passage of only 3.5m wide.

Η λίμνη Κουρνά είναι η μοναδική λίμνη γλυκού νερού που υπάρχει στην Κρήτη.
Η λίμνη Κουρνά είναι ιδανικός προορισμός για έναν απογευματινό περίπατο, ή μια κοντινή εκδρομή μέσα στην ημέρα. Πολλοί την προτιμούν και για ένα απογευματινό πικνίκ. Το τοπίο είναι χαλαρωτικό και όμορφο, είτε θέλετε να περπατήσετε στη φύση, είτε να κάνετε μπάνιο ή ποδήλατο στη λίμνη.
Στην λίμνη Κουρνά υπάρχουν δυο πηγές στη Νοτιο-Ανατολική όχθη, από τις οποίες η μια είναι ορατή στο τέλος του καλοκαιριού, το Μάτι ή Αμάτι, όπως την αποκαλούν οι ντόπιοι. Η λίμνη τροφοδοτείται από τα νερά που κατεβάζουν τα γειτονικά βουνά και οι λόφοι, που τα πετρώματα της περιοχής διακόπτουν την υπόγεια ροή τους και δεν τους επιτρέπουν να συνεχίσουν την πορεία τους μέχρι τη θάλασσα.
Να περπατήσετε γύρω από τη λίμνη, που τα χρώματα της διαφέρουν ανάλογα με την ώρα που θα την επισκεφτείτε. Ο ήλιος παίζει δημιουργικά παιχνίδια με τους λόφους και τα δέντρα γύρω από τη λίμνη, φωτίζοντας πότε τη μια ή την άλλη πλευρά της και δίνοντας μια γαλαζοπράσινη απόχρωση στα νερά.
