Hidden Gem of Crete - Kournas Lake Rethymno Greece
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 12 ноя 2019
- Before leaving Crete we decided to spend our final weekend exploring Rethymno. On the way there we stopped at one of the most beautiful lakes we have ever seen... the hidden gem of Crete, Kournas Lake! From the crystal clear water, to having the entire place to ourselves, the experience was unforgettable.
Visiting Kournas Lake exceeded our expectations, so much that we'd say it's must visit! One of the best things to do in Greece during off season because you will literally have the entire lake to yourself. The lake is located 30 minutes outside the town of Rethymno Crete, and 45 minutes from Chania making Lake Kournas an easy day trip from either town in Greece.
We truly fell in love with Crete and can imagine it would be one of our favorite Greece islands. If you're looking for beaches in Crete, don't disregard the lake. It's equally as stunning as the two beaches we went to and is the only fresh water lake in all of Crete! For things to do in Crete, watch this video and our other Greece vlogs for more ideas.
We hope you guys enjoy this video and if you have any questions about Greece travel, Crete Island or what to do during your vacation, leave a comment down below. We'll miss you, Crete!

I don't have any words to say about your video editing skills!!! They are just..... :)
Thank you so much! That really brightens my day 😊
@@DeathByVlog 💚💚💚👍
@@DeathByVlog amazing place amazing couple 💚👍, but i have a suggestion please keeping the image stability , use better gimbal 💚🌺🌼🌻👍
Thank you! Actually, I don’t use a gimbal. The vlog camera, the one I talk to, doesn’t have IBIS so when walking and talking it can be a bit unstable.
@@DeathByVlog 👍👍
Wow it is very beautiful place
Thy Bunthorn it is AMAZING! So happy we decided to come here ❤️🌊
Such a big island, many things to see. Congrats for the work and for your positive energy
We are loving Greece so far! ❤️
Love that lake. You two really hit this place at the perfect time, no crowds, nice weather, and I’m sure the prices are better now too. I really loved the drone footage and the music added.
Hi 👋🏻 Yes, we got super lucky with the fact there was no one else out on that lake. It was awesome! 😊
There's those slo-mo shots I like so much. Beautiful!
DDIII3 loved this lake!! It was unexpectedly gorgeous.
Thanks man! This place was unforgettable 😊
Nice to see you two beautiful souls back at it. Enjoyed all three(so far) Greece vids.
Hi! 😊 Good to see you. Hope you’re doing well. It’s definitely nice to be back exploring and filming. Glad you’re enjoying the Greece series 😊
Amazing lake
This must be a dream. Beautiful
It was amazing there! 😊
I'm from Rethymnon and you took the best video and shots of lake. Bravo!!!
Thanks and we’re glad you like the video! Such an amazing lake 😍 Hope you enjoy the other Greek videos as well!
To see all the hidden (and not hidden) gems of Crete you need to stay here for a long time. Suprices never stop here. Despite I live in Crete and i love exploring,every summer i discover new gems,that are not touristy enough and definattelly underestimated,that suprices me!
I won't speek for the rest of Greece and the 6000 islands of this small country (small but with huge length of coastline).
Your work is great and you are a lovely couple. Happy to see you next year (you must come at hight season). People is also great at summer and the choices are more.
There are so many amazing places and scenery in Crete we are blown away 😮
Just an outstanding video content,photography, drone shots,facts you guys just did a super job on taking your audience into the theater of life long dreams that we all long to do but never get the chance.
Amazing videos. Missed you guys. Can't wait for more
Thanks Melinda! Good to be back 😊
Beautiful landscape of beautiful Crete
It really is 😍
Amazing footage! I was there maybe 10 years ago and the lake with paddling boats was indeed amazing experience. Definently a must see at Crete.
Thank you! We loved this place. So peaceful and the views are gorgeous 😊
Thumbs up again, guys. Love the video. Thanks for sharing it. See you in the next video.
Thanks man! You nailed the outro too 😉
I love this lake, winter or summer has a different beauty.
Also, this lake is bottomless.
Bottomless??? Now I’m intrigued 😊
Awesome video guys that lake looked amazing 😎loving your travels of Greece 😀
Thanks Tony! This place was amazing ❤️
Wow so nice lake bro
This place was so cool! 👊🏻
We first went to the lake by walking from Georgioupoli in 1986 and 1987. At that time there were about 2 tavernas and 3 pedalos for hire. When we went again in 2006 and the tourist village you saw had grown up. It was still nice but the growth in 20 years was surprising.
So excited 🥰❤️ love both of you ❤️
Fraaap much love!! ❤️
❤️😊❤️😊❤️😊❤️😊❤️😊❤️😊
Our family visited Crete in 1991 just after the greek national higher education entry exams with 4 other close families that had kids my age and that was probably our last vacation with our parents as kids. Although it has been almost 30 years, it has been engraved in our souls. We stayed probably 10 or so days. We visited Chania, Agios Nikaloaos, Rethymno, Ierapetra, Matala, Samaria, Vai and probably more I forget. I remember meeting a lot of non-greek permanent residents that share the same story: "We just came as tourists for a week and decided to stay for the rest of our lives". That is what Crete does to you. It has done it for me and even before I immigrated to the US, I stated that I am going to retire to Crete.
BTW, when Bendan Von San did his Greek videos (last year, I think) is when his videos popped up on my youtube recommended list and I subscibed to his channel. Same happened with I don't know if it's human nature to get drawn by people foreign to your country reviewing its places, especially when you miss it and you're so far away. It might probably be a greek thing. After all nostalgia, nostos is a greek word.
You are going to love Paros, we were there last summer (3rd time for me) and it is where my Wife would like to retire to, but she hasn't been to Crete. Drink some Souma on my behalf.
Those shots 🤩 amazing guys
Thanks bro!! 👊🏻
Another fantastic video from you guys. Good job 😍
Thanks so much man! 👍🏻
such beautiful scenery... another place i'd love to visit but probably never will xD
It’s such a gorgeous location 😊
That intro! Loved it!!
Thanks Jennifer!! ❤️
Crete is probably the paradise of Greece (or Hellas, as we use to call our country), even though there are many beautiful places in Greece, hope you enjoy your staying here, and visit us again soon!!!
I went in June 2019 abd it was perfect. The lake was crystal clear we swam in it and there was a really nice family restaurant we went twice
so beautiful
This place was so amazing. Glad we got to experience it without anyone else on the lake 😊❤️
OMG, DBV. amazing vlog ryan, thanks so much you guys for sharing..missed you two xxx
James!! What’s up man. Hope you’re doing well 😊
@@DeathByVlog im good guys, better now watching DBV vlogs, you guys make my day. x
Very nice video!keep on good work!!!👌
The wife and I went skin diving in that lake in 1991. There was only a small restaurant there at that time.
Tourism can really change things fast! This lake is such a beautiful place to visit though 😊
Your videos are still so damn good! Happy to tune in for your visit to this wonderful place; it's been almost 15 years since I went to Greece. Great place. Very nice people. And that dog is def yours now... hahaha
We need that dog! 🐶 😂 Appreciate the love man. Glad you’re enjoying the Greece videos 👍🏻
You are lucky couple...God bless you dear....nice
Thank you! 🙏🏻❤️
great video guys as always,, amazing content, amazing views...thanks for sharing and the outro is back...See ya! 👏👏👏
Hey bro! Thanks for the love and yes the intro and outro is back 😉
You guys just look so at home doing these vlogs now. ..see...that break did you the world of good. Back in the groove. Good job!! 🇳🇿🇦🇺
Thank you! The break was just what we needed. Glad you’re enjoying the Greece videos 😊
We first discovered this place in 1987 when there were about 3 pedalos to rent. Last time we went in the summer of 2006 there were 3 companies renting out pedalos. It was also visited by English poet and artist Edward Lear in the 1860s
Good, California, morning my friends.
Lovely footage, and gorgeous places you are sharing with us.
As a life long NYer, you should really consider Cali. The weather is awesome, folks are pretty friendly and the cost basis isn’t that bad. Quality of life is high.
Keep the vids coming
Hey Jeff! Cali has been on my mind for a few years now. Just not sure if it would be a good fit. But we did enjoy it when we visited last 😊
DeathByVlog it’s different and you have to drive most places. But, it’s gorgeous here, and there is so much to do and so many places available within 2-4 hours drive.
You guys are awesome!! About it all being closed for the winter, I think that being a Catalan myself from the sea coast and living now the North East of the US. The way we looked at it, us "Mediterraneans" is that 50F is cold! Lol! Now that I live in CT I also think that between 50-70F is SO nice and warm! Haha! Keep them coming, please!! I love your videos :P
They shut down because there’s not enough tourists but also they have the olives to take care of which is a lot of work. It’s always around November.
We were here last year in June and it wasn’t too busy. But a lovely spot. Loving seeing it again. And turtles everywhere.
It is such a great spot 😊 Although we didn’t see any turtles. Maybe because of the lower temperatures.
DeathByVlog when we were there they were cooking meat in the streets over a fire in glass cabinets which I didn’t see in your video.
Yes, we saw that! So cool 😎
Nice video....
Thank you! ❤️
i like your slo-mo shots
Thanks so much! 😊
Ryan - I know I am being a broken record but I continue to be in awe of your camera work and editing. Lake Kournas looks stunning, But your visit to Khao Sok National Park in Thailand still takes the cake. Both vlogs are top notch though!
Thanks man! Khao Sok was insane. I still remember first laying eyes on that scenery. This lake was amazing too but I agree, not as memorable as Thailand 😊
Hai, nice view i like
Hello! 😊👋🏻
09:03 You pronounced it well! 😁
bro ur cinematic shot is just mind blowing & i have no word to describe ur editting skills...
I appreciate that, thanks 🙏🏻
Looking Handsome Ryan today.........and Stacia beautiful as always
Thank you! 😊❤️
YOU ARE AMMMMMMMMMAAAAAAAAAAXXXXXIIIIIIINNNNNNN GUYS
I REALLY LOVED ALL THOSE VIDOES .I HAVE NO WORDS TO SAY YOUR EFFORTS
Thank you SO much! Really happy you’re enjoying the videos 😊
Denver Colorado. Its cold in the winter but theres a lite rail so you dont have to drive, tons to do! I suggest a visit in winter but try the city of Parker its a suburb however it has one of my favorite malls Park Meadows Mall its still on the lite rail so its just a ride to downtown or any of the areas
After knowing the background story of the beautiful lake, Ryan realised they are getting late and should be peddling back to the shore quick. 😂😆
Haha quick before the ghost gets us 👻
Come and visit Riyadh (Saudi Arabia) .. you are welcome guys
Love it in the med, and Greek islands winters are short plenty of rainfall etc slot of Greeks from the island head back to mainland Greece etc ...end of February its starts to get better December and January rough months
Awesome as usual, thanks guys...You should live in the Philippines.Cheap, great beaches but the internet sucks their too.
Thanks Sam! Man, if only the internet on all the islands was as good as Manila it wouldn’t be a question. We would be there in a heartbeat 😉
😲😲😲😲😲❤️❤️❤️❤️
She cryed and the lake was filled by her tears
When Stacia was in the water i was waiting for her to say are there sharks here😁 lol.
Haha 😂 Remember the fish scene from the Kao Suk video? 🐠
@@DeathByVlog i believe i do now lol
Visit Argyroupoli in Rethymno!! if Still open!!
We are in Paros now but if we head back to Crete we will definitely check it out 😊
Thats not the Samaria, maybe Imbros, but great footage - enjoy.
Thanks for all cretan peoples!
Thank you for watching! Welcome to the channel 😊
When you get to London stacia needs to visit the national history museum ....facts galore
We may have to check it out 😊
คือพวกคุณคิดแต่เรื่องความรักเรื่องความต่างของเซลล์ร่างกายผมไม่ได้เป็นคนเลือกนะเขาเสนอมายังไม่เห็นด้วยซ้ำว่าเขาเป็นคนยังไงแต่ก็ควรจะมีคนจากฝั่งเขา 1 คนเป็น 2 คน
I am too sorry we missed you guys..We are located about 10' from Kournas Lake and we are still open! :). www.dourakiswinery.gr ;) See you next time! What a great video!! Beautiful content!
Oh man! Stacia really wanted to visit a winery 🍷 That would’ve been very cool to experience and film a video.
ก็ต้องรอคนนี้แหละวันที่ 8 เดือนหน้า ถ้าเข้ามาก็คงอยากจะทำจริงๆแต่ฉันก็คงไม่ทำทั้งหมดหรอกแกแค่เสนอความคิดบางครั้งเท่านั้นฉันสนใจเรื่องคนกลุ่มน้อยอะไรประเทศพม่าเรื่องยูเครนให้มันจบ
Wow that Lake looks beautiful and clean but after Stacia said it's haunted I changed my mind about going there.lol Hey guys, check out Portugal (Lisbon or Porto) as a possible relocation place but just a suggestion. Be safe guys!
Hey manny!!! Hope you’re doing well 😊 Congrats on retirement! We’ve always wanted to go to Portugal.. I hear it is a little expensive, what are your thoughts?
You are way off the Norm, happy to see it, Do you think you could live there, Be Safe,
Greece is gorgeous and it seems like a place we would rather have a rental property instead of living there year round.
DeathByVlog I have a condo in Cebu next time you go, 😊, Be Safe, still looks Awesome 😎 landscapes.
The Samaria gorge is not between lake Kournas and Rethymno. It is on the South coast of Crete
You should have had the drone hovering out over the lake while you skimmed stones towards it. Oh well, next time you visit.
Totally! That would’ve been really cool. But there’s always so much to think about when trying to capture a photo and film at the same time. It can get pretty chaotic 🤣
Nice Videos! When are You Coming Back in The Philippines ?
Thank you! It sure yet when we will be back but it’s in our plans 😊
Kournas Village (lake) actually belongs to Chania city not to Rethymno, just a heads up. Amazing video 🙏
Yes we know 😊 But wanted to add Rethymno to the video title for SEO purposes. Probably should’ve added a comma in there 😂
Hey there, Ryan & Stacia!
I am from Bangladesh and I am a big big fan of yours. Specially Stacia, because I have had crush multiple times on her. 😂✌
You guys should definitely visit Bangladesh. We would be very glad if you come and visit Bangladesh and make some vlogs here.
♥ from Bangladesh.
สำหรับเธอก็คงอีกไม่นานไม่น่าจะเกิน 20 วันเราคงได้เจอกันส่วนปัญหาอื่นๆเราค่อยว่ากันทีหลังเราทำทุกอย่างให้ถูกต้องและดีที่สุดผล ลัพธ์จนจะเป็นยังไงเรารับได้
คือมีคนอยากจะคุยด้วยอยากจะรู้จักก็อาจจะเพราะค่าใช้จ่ายแล้วแต่เห็นสมควรแต่มัน จะไม่มากจนเป็นข้อผูกมัด
เราหวังกับสิ่งที่มันเกิดขึ้นกับเราทุกวันแต่เราก็ยังหวังเพราะเรายังไม่หมดหวังถ้าเรายังไม่ตาย
ฉันหวังว่าก่อนวันที่ 8 เดือนหน้าคงใช่ถ้าไม่ใช่ฉันก็คงผ่านไป
เธอเก่งมากนะเธอทำอาหารอร่อยด้วยเธอโชคดีแล้ว
ฉันก็ง่วงนอน
Lmao i live both on rethymno and chania
Where was your Airbnb?
เราควรจะดำเนินการได้เลย
Very good video!! The lake is in Chania not in Rethymno!!
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed the video. We only added Rethymno in the video title because we went there later in the day and it may help others find it 😊
@@DeathByVlog I hope you had an amazing time in my island!!!
We loved it!! ❤️
เจ้านายตามเลยนะเรื่องนี้
It's a FLOCK of ducks, Ryan, not a gaggle😂😂😂
I believe it’s a flock of seagulls not ducks 🦆 😊
@@DeathByVlog You need to brush up your English. What next, a row of Ryans?😂
I suggest to you GREECE ! 😊
อย่างนี้เอาตกลง
If you liked that lake you 100% have to go to Moraine Lake in Banff
I want to go there so bad! This place had a little of that feel 😊
DeathByVlog about 45 min from there is Yoho National Park which is another must see!
Do you need to stay in the states?
Nope, that’s the problem. It can be literally anywhere! Lol
DeathByVlog Well, you guys already know Thailand is a great base. But, I like Boquete, Panama and Lake Atitlan, Guatemala, too.
My home the last few years has been Saigon. Can’t say enough good things about it. Bali seems to suit you two, as well... decisions, decisions.🤪
So many choices and you’re not helping things 🤣 We likes Vietnam but Thailand (Chiang Mai) would be high on our list. But it’s so damn hot there during the summer months haha
There is much much more beautiful sites to see. Next time you visit the island just message me giving you a tour for free.

The lake of Kournas is located in the prefecture of Chania, not in Rethymnon!🗻😎
Yes we know but wanted to add the name Rethymno to the title for SEO purposes 😊
What if you move to Mexico? Lol go to Milos, greece it's so cute. And Skopelos.
We definitely need to visit Mexico. It’s on our list for sure! 😊
เธอมาคนเดียวนะจะบอกให้
Move to New Zealand haha
I don’t think I could handle that flight 😂
@@DeathByVlog From the USA its only 13hours lol, surely the flight is longer to Thailand or where you are now lol

Sorry Alden. And I didn't even yell out "1st." Good to see your comment.
